San Juan Capistrano, CA

Founded November 1, 1776. The fountain and pool in the front gardens where hundreds of beautiful snow white pigeons flock and greet the visitors often alighting on one’s shoulder, and beg to be fed from the hand.

Riverside California

The Mission Inn. The Carillon Tower and the Arch of Bells on the right. The Arch is a remnant of the original adobe structure over 70 years old (much older now). The Inn now covers an entire block in the center of the city.

Ice Cream

2007

ES Fenton founded our famous Creamery in 1894, delivering milk by horse drawn wagon. As we celebrate our 112th anniversary. It’s the ice cream that ES’s grandson Melvin introduced to the family’s dairy that we are best known for. We make our ice cream by hand from recipes created long ago and guarantee that our product comes from the cow to you in less than a week. Our giant sundaes are piled high with generous amounts of hand crafted ice cream and sauces made at Fentons with lots of our special ingredients – Love and Pride!
Enjoy!

Van Gogh

August 1999

Dear B and V,

A beautiful day in LA and perfect day to visit the Getty: 70 degrees and brilliant sunshine. Took a few pictures and will enjoy watching the rush hour from the restaurant tonight! It’s already bad! Got to see part of Catalina but not exactly where Allie works. Oh well, will have to return.

Love, Tim

Bates Motel

November 1988

I received a big stack of these postcards to promote the new Psycho movie. Not wanting to see the movie but the postcards are cool! Adam Werbach (Sierra Club Pres.) came to speak last Tuesday. It was very good. He spoke about the environment and young people getting involved. Today KUMM had visitors all day from the TC campus radio station, Radio K. They are helping us improve our station, suggest new equipment to buy and such. It was lots of fun and they invited us down to visit them some time – that would be something I would love to do. See you soon.

Love, Bronwyn

When visiting Plainfield, California the only place to stay is at the Bates Motel, your home away from home. We have 12 cabins that feature all modern amenities including cable television. Check in. Unpack. Relax. Take a shower.

January 1980, San Francisco

Really looking forward to our trip. I have a good friend in Cost Mesa, just south of LA. Well, LA is not Acapulco but at least it’s not Mountainview so… Let’s go!
