Happy belated birthday, Orange

I was going to post these images yesterday, on the 120th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Orange. Unfortunately, I was having some Internet access problems. The first image is an 1888 ad for Orange.

The second is a photo of the Plaza from 1887. Note the new Bank of Orange building. The fountain seen behind Alfred Chapan and his unidentified associate now stands next to the new Orange Public Library.

Sadly, I had to shut down comments (my favorite part of the blog) thanks to endless spam. Most of my posts are linked from my FB page, so feel free to comment there or to email me. If I can find a more secure way to do so, I will bring back normal commenting later.
