Today's image is a 1930s postcard of Dana Villa By The Sea, an early Dana Point motel that called itself "a seaside retreat of privacy." For a history of this place, see last month's Dana Point Historical Society newsletter..
The new "Muzeo" will open in Downtown Anaheim on Tuesday. There will still be a small display about local history in what used to be the Anaheim Museum (and the Carnegie Library before that), but most of the space will be given over to non-local stuff. The first major exhibit will be on Roman antiquities. The new facilities will also be the new home of the Anaheim Public Library's much-loved History Room. I'm looking forward to seeing the new digs.

Reminder: Tickets are currently on sale for the Old Towne Historic Home Tour, scheduled for Oct. 27 and 28. It should be a great event.

The traveling Smithsonian exhibit, "Exit Saigon, Enter Little Saigon," will (appropriately enough) be on display at Garden Grove's Viet Art Center until Dec. 2nd. The exhibit depicts the stories of Vietnamese Americans from the 1970s through today.

In a recent Register article, surfing legend Corky Carroll wrote about his memories of the newly re-opened Sunset Beach landmark, Sam's Seafood.
