Downtown Fullerton engenders the old and new all at once in a unique blend of college life and history. One of the main terminals 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.

There’s nothing like a nice marine layer to cool things off in summer. Fullerton homes stay cool while other parts of the state and country swelter in the heat. Temps all of the first week of summer have stayed in the 70s with overnights in the 50s. Fullerton broke cloud-bank this morning at around 9:45 and let the sun peek through. In this photo, the marine layer shields the sun for a while longer, keeping the day comfortable.
Fullerton always has an active downtown anyway with nearby colleges including CSUF, Fullerton College and Hope International University in Fullerton just blocks away from downtown Fullerton. Homes prices in the area are market driven but remain stable and competitive due to high demand for living space for staff and students alike. In the summer things pick up even more as students who live in town and people involved with the college scene have more free time. The monthly art walk comes alive as vendors along with the Fullerton College art department get into swing even more in the monthly Fullerton Art Walk. I walked through downtown a few Friday evenings back and landed upon what turned out to be some sort of “mini art walk” in advance of the scheduled first Friday art walk. The event was sponsored by the Fullerton College Art Department and had live entertainment and some pretty impressive work by students on display. I took some video and photography to share here. Be sure to switch the player to HD and full-screen. Enjoy!
Upcoming art walks are scheduled for: July 2, August 6, September 3, October 1, and November 5.
So I decided on a whim, to have an early lunch at Panera Bread in Fullerton, the one on Sunnycrest Drive by the hospital, instead of eating drive-thru at Carl’s. Good decision for my health, a little bad for my wallet.
Pluses and minuses.
Plus: Any Panera Bread is a nice spot to take a lunch break. Plus: The coffee is good. Plus: Free Wi-Fi* Plus: Service is friendly and excellent.
Minus: The sticker shock is almost breathtaking. I ordered the cheapest sandwich I could find on the menu, a Tuna on wheat- it flies like a butterfly, stings like a bee at $5.99 for 96¢ worth of ingredients, and a small cup of coffee. The cashier asked me, “chips, apple or baguette?” I knew I was being rooked. I just wanted a sandwich. “What’s in the baguette?” I asked. Something perverse in me wanted it to be filled with bacon. “Oh it’s just a piece of bread.” I thought, but stopped myself from saying, “The sandwich already has bread. Why would I want to pay for even more bread?” I just took my first bite of the rather small apple. Bite number two and the apple is one third consumed.
I’ll escape from here with $8.46 less in my account for a pretty decent tuna sandwich, a tiny apple and re-fillable coffee. And a dill pickle slice. (I like dill pickles)
Minus: The same as the plus, free Wi-Fi. Their “login” screen chides you, practically upbraids you, for merely existing and daring to log onto their network. “Lunchtimes are busy, 30 minutes only, don’t you dare take a table where there’s actually room for your laptop!” In other words, “Don’t get comfortable, just eat and Get Out!”
Bottom line: A nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to pay for lunch every day here.
Homes in Fullerton, CA enjoy the lavender of the blooms of the Jacaranda trees each year. The trees carpet the streets and lawns with a light layer of purple each June and this year is no exception.
It isn’t the name of this street that bisects downtown Fullerton leading from shops and restaurants to the homes and residences, but the sign shows that this was part of the historical Kings Highway, “El Camino Real” that runs its course through most of California.
Fullerton homes wouldn’t have quite the same flavor without the historic and quaint flavors of the Fullerton Downtown businesses and entertainment.
