Many reasons why:
* Caltech. Feynman taught there, and there are many interesting guest lectures and stuff.
* NASA, JPL
* Nice old buildings. Lots of cafes. Lots of trees..mmmm....trees.
* Many bookstores, including a used bookstore that is open at midnight.
* Smack in the middle of two techtonic plates. IF you want to enjoy an earthquake, this is the place.
* Smalltown atmosphere. Quiet place.
* Biggest stadium seating arthouse movie theatre in the country.
VERY high geek ratio within a 2 mile radius of caltech, and you can spot them. On a Friday night, you can often see a few guys hanging around talking about particle physics while everyone else is dating. Impressive stuff.
