Today's image is an 1870s view of Santa Ana. It comes from the Bancroft Library..
The City of Santa Ana is allocating additional Community Development Block Grant funds to complete exterior repairs to the historic Howe-Waffle House (1889) and its assorted outbuildings. Further support for the project has come from members of the Santa Ana Historic Preservation Society and from Behr Paint. My personal thanks to all involved -- since I get to enjoy seeing the old place at least 5 days a week.

When we last saw Santa Ana’s Twist-Basler House (1914), it had been torn into several large chunks by developer Mike Harrah and was left with its innards hanging out. That hasn't changed. However, a new foundation is finally being poured for it at another Santa Ana site, and Harrah is promising to repair (restore?) the building. But it ain’t over ‘til it’s over.

St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church in Fullerton will celebrate it's 50th anniversary Saturday with a special Mass at 5pm. (Fun Fact: The church's first services were held in a roller rink.)

Meanwhile, out in front of Disneyland, Gene Autry will join the "Anaheim/Orange County Walk of Stars."
