What’s going on at the Fox Theatre?

If you have driven by the Fox Theater on Harbor Boulevard in Fullerton, you will notice that it is presently closed and under construction. Though it was closed and abandoned in 1987, the Fox Theatre has been an official landmark of the City of Fullerton since 1990 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in October 2006.
The move for restoration began in 2005 when the city of Fullerton began to raise funds by showing movies in the rear parking lot by projecting films onto the outer wall …

[Geocaching] Rockin at UCI

Geocaching containers can be simple, such as Altoid tins or peanut jar, and there are plenty of ways to hide those caches. However, one of the more creative cache type I have seen are fake rocks. From my geocaching experience, I have come across two fake rocks, one of which was a cement rock and the other a plastic rock. Though these caches are exposed to the open, they are nearly impossible for most muggles, non-geocachers, to discover because of their location within a lot of other rocks. However, to …

Good Food at a Furniture Store?

Do you expect to find food in a furniture store? Well, asides from their furniture business, IKEA also has a restaurant. However, do not be daunted by the IKEA Restaurant. For a restaurant, the prices are ridiculous, and I mean ridiculous in a good way.
Depending on how much you eat, expect to spend around $10 for average portions of food. Where else can you get half a rack of baby back ribs with fries and cornbread for only $6.99? Unfortunately, that deal is only available on Wednesdays. However, you can …

[Back to the Past] Old Town Seal Beach

Pass though Seal Beach today and you will find yourself experiencing the small-town sleepy atmosphere. However, Seal Beach was once more bustling and lively, its history probably unable to cross your mind.
In the 1800s, long before becoming incorporated as Seal Beach, the area was known as Anaheim Landing, important for its shipping port . However, with the rise of the Pacific Electric Red Car, Anaheim Landing faded to Bay City, transforming into a recreational area. Bay City was incorporated on October 27, 1910, but due to confusion with San Francisco, …
