Downtown Fullerton with Canon T2i 550D | Near Fullerton Homes For Sale

davekeys — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:14:08 +0000

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.

Keeping It Cool With The Marine Layer in Fullerton

davekeys — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:51:40 +0000

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.

Panera Bread in Fullerton – Thumbs Up But Not Cheap Eats

davekeys — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:10:31 +0000

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 – The Chapman Building – Downtown

Though it’s an old 20th century style building, the Chapman Building, located in the heart of downtown Fullerton, has been retrofitted to resist earthquakes. The steel frame building was analyzed and designed using three dimensional computer analysis software. This is one of my favorite landmarks in downtown Fullerton. The downtown is one of the attractions that make homes for sale in Fullerton a good idea.

Fullerton Homes and Downtown – Old and New

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 02:11:53 +0000

Just thought I’d share this cool window display in Fullerton CA. Vintage memorabilia is often a running theme in the city which keeps its history well highlighted. Downtown Fullerton is a mix of old and new. The local colleges keep the newness at the forefront but the city’s history as a central destination for early (and present) railway routes accentuate the old as well.
