In 2009, Orange County Register reporter Marla Jo Fisher wrote a column commenting on the lack of appreciation for black-and-white classic films seen in her kids.

Below are the admission …

Many times we pass by a place without taking notice of it, without realizing there is a story to it, without realizing it exists. Merely another unknown building, landmark, or “thing.”
Though I have been an Orange Country resident all my life, surprisingly, I had never been to Seal Beach and never knew anything about the city until summer 2009.
