Wonderbowl, San Clemente, Capistrano, etc.

Today's photo of the Wonderbowl in Anaheim was sent in by alert reader Mike Spanos. I love the Googie entrance! The Wonderbowl was on the north side of Katella Ave, near West St. Disney purchased the site in the 1980s, closed the Wonderbowl, and turned it into parking.

The City of San Clemente is considering a list of 25 sites proposed as local landmarks. A public hearing will be held tonight (Tuesday), 7pm, at San Clemente City Hall. The meeting will also include a review of the City’s list of historic sites. I’m not sure if this map of historic structures from the City’s website is current or not, but it might be helpful review material for those who plan to attend the meeting. For more information, call (949) 361-8200.

Mission San Juan Capistrano will hold an open house for teachers in the Barracks Gallery, tomorrow, 4:30-6:30pm. The free event will include wine and appetizers. For information or to RSVP, call Regina at (949) 234-1318.

The Mission’s current “featured artifact display” is about the process of making adobe bricks and structures. This exhibit will run through the end of the year.

The Garden Grove Historical Society’s Book & Barn Sale will be held Oct 11-13, 8am-4:30pm, at 12174 Euclid Ave. Despite the name, I don’t think they’ll sell you the barn. They will, however, sell you books, records, and other items to raise funds for their organization.

Amigos de la Colina is looking for potential new members who might be interested in assisting with tours of the four historic buildings at Heritage Hill Historical Park in El Toro. To learn more, call (949) 923-2230.
