Today's three images show Newport Blvd in Costa Mesa in the 1950s. All three come from the postcard collection of my friend, Orange County Historical Commissioner
Don Dobmeier.
The Costa Mesa Historical Society will host Chris Epting, author of many books including the new
Orange County, Then & Now from Arcadia Publishing. (Not to be confused with Doris Walker's similarly titled book from a couple years ago.) Chris will speak, and presumably sell and sign books, tomorrow, March 20, at 2pm at 1870 Anaheim Ave., Costa Mesa.
The annual
Swallows Day Parade & Mercado (a.k.a. Fiesta de las Golondrinas) will be held in downtown San Juan Capistrano on March 26th. Who wants to bet on whether the swallows actually return to Capistrano this time?
