Balboa Island is always an enjoyable place to walk around.  The homes are beautiful, the gardens are full of well groomed blooming flowers and it is an island, so as you walk around the boardwalk you can always see the water.

Next Sunday, May 18th is the Artist Walk.  Artist's will have their paintings, sketches, drawings, sculptures and other crafts out on display around the boardwalk.

Hopefully the June gloom will be ...

Hagen Daz Ice Cream store at Fashion Island is having consumers participate in selecting the flavor of ice cream they will stocking in the store. Starting Monday between 4-8 pm consumers can get a single scoop of Vanilla Honey Bee and Green ...

Gas prices are definitely out of control. The large gas companies are greedy-plain and simple. While Americans are being made to suffer at the pump and everywhere else, as the price of gas is being blamed on the cost of transporting food and other items, gas companies are posting record profits. The station at the corner of 17th Street and Irvine Blvd. in Newport Beach is charging ...

This past week a local bank in Corona del Mar was robber.  The thief went into the bank and told the teller he had a bomb.  I am not sure how much money he received given his threat, but police did not have to go far to find him.  The robber must have lost his getaway car or never thought about that part of bank robbing.  Police found the bank ...

I am not quite sure where the Easter Bunny lives.  Is he in the North Pole with Santa or does he prefer the heat of the Caribbean.  The bunny has never really told us where he lives when he is not out delivering Easter baskets.  However given all the inclemental weather we have had the bunny has managed to hop on over to Fashion island.  He will be soaking up ...

Last week I heard Stan Chambers speak at the Newport Beach Public Library.  For those who do not know who he is, he has been a reporter with KTLA for the past 60 years.  Yes 60 years.  Which to me is absolutly amazing that someone would stay at the same organization for 60 years.  Mr. Cambaers is from a different generation.

He returned to Southern California after World War 11 and ...
