OC & ME: Let's visit The Anti-Mall!

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:07:00 GMT

I remember clear as a bell, the day my dad- who was a fixture in the California apparel industry, said 'come with me real quick. I need to go check out this new mall place'. And off we went to Costa Mesa to see the newly opened LAB anti-mall. I was entranced. I went back this week, to show the place to my boys.
Come take a peak and see why this place is so well loved....

OC & ME: Visit to Balboa Island and more...

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:53:00 GMT

Hey its January in So Cal...let's go to the beach!
No I am serious.
Its true...I love to visit the beach cities in the off season. Less crowds, less half naked people and still all kinds of fun. On this episode I visit my favorite candy store, the original arcade, a pizza place with a freaky history and more....

I am always seeking story ideas. So if you know of a great/fun/qwirky person or place in Orange County- please let me know!

OC & ME: Mission San Juan Capistrano

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:48:00 GMT

Only 31 miles from my home is one of the oldest buildings in California. Mission San Juan Capistrano was founded in 1776 by Father Junipero Serra. Father Serra is well know figure in early Californian history.

Every 4th grader learns all about Father Serra and the history and purpose of his California Missions up and down our coast along the famous El Camino Real line.

The husband and I have decided to use this as a litmus test to grill people who claim to be California natives.

We will say "So tell me, what do you think of Father Serra?", and when they look back with a blank confused stare, we will know that they did not endure 4th grade in California and never had the glory of building a California Mission replica out of sugar cubes.

(Note: I am a 3rd generation Southern California native which is about as rare as finding a diamond in a gravel pit. Which er, I think is pretty rare. The Husband? He is mid-west thru and thru.)

This mission is so perfectly rustic, it feels as if you are on a movie set or Disney back lot. Only a Southern California native would say such a thing. As you now know, I have Disney and Hollywood running thru my veins.

And down the street is a favorite mid-century building...

I will be visiting San Juan Capistrano in an upcoming episode of OC & ME.
Stay tuned...
