Fullerton
Downtown Fullerton Shops
Downtown Fullerton embodies amazingly comfortable contradiction that blends the old and new all at once in a unique convergence of college life and history. One of the main train stops during the area’s oil industry days, Fullerton has retained many of its old landmarks from the train station to the police station, not to mention Fullerton College where students arrived in canoes in the hundred year flood of 1938, when most of Orange County found itself flooded. Fullerton shops restaurants and entertainment share a long tradition of blending new and old. The day I took this video, we ate at Rutabegorz, established 40 years ago and still serving up 70s fare in a 90s environment- solar powered. Plummer Auditorium finished up the night in an excellent dress rehearsal of Brigadoon. Shot with the new Canon 550D T2i, which I’m still learning. The creative modes are every bit as varied as you expect from an SLR camera.
Why Are Those Orange County Homes So Popular Anyway?
Could it be the weather? I don’t just mean the warm temperatures year round. It isn’t always “warm” by the talk of some Orange County residents. They’ll tell you unabashedly, “It’s FREEZING!” but the rest of the country from the eastern seaboard to montana and parts between are, of course, laughing at us.
The real reason, however you define the weather could be the contrast. Nowhere else in the country, except the big Island of Hawaii can you surf and snow-ski on the same day. What is it in Orange County Homes that has over 1% of the entire country’s population living in our borders, and many more wanting to? What drives up the prices of real estate in the OC? I think this kind of morning is one reason.
