Fullerton's Fun Farmer's Market at Downtown Plaza
marinarena Says: There are many towns that have farmer's market days throughout So Cal, but this one is probably the most entertaining. Besides food, there is often a concert of local talent, a variety of kids programs and a beer garden which inspires a few individuals to be rather silly and...
marinarena Says: Muckenthaler MansionThough the name isn't so pretty like, say, Armani, The Muckenthaler is an exquisite cultural center found in an off the beaten path part of Fullerton, miles away from the city center. What's very striking about the setting for this arts and humanties...

Cali Fire Grill: Try Kabob American style at Cali Fire
marinarena Says: Near Fullerton College, along Chapman Ave, is Cali Fire, an upstart eaterie that focuses on fresh ingredients and an eco-friendly approach. Opened in 2011, the casual California with a flair of Greece, India and the Middle-East joint is, as of now, an only-in-Fullerton...
Cafe Hidalgo: Have Wine, Romance in Rustic la Bodega
marinarena Says: Here is a lovely local restaurant perfect for a date or for any occasion calling for sophistication. Cafe Hidalgo, along the tree-lit Harbor Blvd in downtown Fullerton, is an upscale restaurant featuring the wine bar, La Bodega. Expect up to par servic and a beautiful rustic...
Imperial Ballroom/Dancesport Center: Dance, Have a Ball
marinarena Says: If you want to dance and don't go for modern techno or hip hop, come to the Imperial Ballroom to dance your best Viennese waltz, swing, cha cha, jazz, foxtrot, rumba or tango. Within the historic Imperial Ballroom in downtown, check in at The Dancesport Center for lessons....
Steamers: See where it gets steamy!
marinarena Says: Serving as a spot for jazzy music and a place to grab late night grub, Steamers is a unique spot in downtown Fullerton, and for Orange County at large. This is a kind of place grown folks go- those in the 30-40 crowd usually, but anyone into jazz and a more quiet nighttime...
Disneyland-Fullerton via Harbor
marinarena Says: If you happen to be in Orange county to visit Disneyland in Anaheim, it would be a good idea to visit the theme parks during the day and then later in the evening to head to Fullerton for entertainment via Harbor Blvd. One simple road from fun to fun. Just head north on...
Stop at first main O.C. train stop from L.A.
marinarena Says: If traveling south from Los Angeles by train, stop here in Fullerton at the charming, historic Santa Fe Train stop. Part of the Fullerton Transportation Center, the stop features the national Amtrak trains as well as the local Metrolink trains.The look of the Santa Fe Depot...
Capri Shoes: Do you need clown shoes?
RblWthACoz Says: I discovered this place while roaming around. The HUGE clown shoes in the window caught my eye and I wandered in. They actually make these shoes and supply Disney with virtually all their clown and clown-like shoes. They also make and sell many other hand made shoes - some...
Ross: You must "get it" and this Ross!
marinarena Says: Wow, I don't like to promote a big chain store usually because the giants don't really need it BUT...the Ross store in Fullerton, in the Amerige Heights area, is one worth mentioning as a tip.For those who are not "in-the-know", Ross is a discount store that features mostly...
Locals Flock to the Big Library Sales
marinarena Says: Well, here is a tip for anyone who likes to travel for bargains, particularly for used and collectable books, come for the best "Friends of the Library "book sale in O.C. -- at the Fullerton City Library. It is easily accessible from the train station, just a 10 min walk or...
Go to Fullerton festivals: Taste of Fullerton
marinarena Says: In 2005, was the 6th Annual Taste of Fullerton even in downtown Fullerton, along Harbor Blvd. Hundreds gather throughout the weekend of May 20th- 22nd to have a sample (or dozen and more) of what city restaurants have to offer from their kitchen. Beside food, there was much...
TinKan Says: The people here are not the quickest to stop or to even yeild at a red light and are quick to go when the light turns green.I use a 3 second rule when the light turns green to keep from getting hit in the intersection. After the light turns green count to three then go......
Helpfulness
Part 1 of my big project last year: the Modern Day Saints Series. The master plan is to create a painting of each of my friends into modern versions of saints. I've got two male frinds in the works right now as Patron Saints of Afros and Anger/Destruction. This is Meghan, my good friend since first grade. She formerly used and quite abused drugs...I mean serious stuff here. We lost close touch for a few years while she was cleaning up her act. Now she's clean and loves to write, hence the notebook & ballpoint pen. The drugs set her back many years though. At least she's straight again. She rules.
This is called 'Our Lady of Hard Knocks'

Helpfulness
Miscellaneous: Fullerton is warmer than the coast of CA. It would be wise to bring a t-shirt and shorts in the summer, and a jacket for the night-time. Winter is never really all that cold either. This is a Good luck painting in oil. The book is The Catcher in the Rye. Symbols from around the world.

See the beautiful disaster of Fox
marinarena Says: See my travelogue for my pictures and website for a fuller overall picture of the Fox !!Everytime passing downtown along Harbor Blvd in Fullerton, I see the old movie house, Fox Theater, and wonder why is it not a fully functional building for the arts. The exterior has made...
Go to one of the best spots to see Northern O.C.
marinarena Says: Mountain View ParkI'll let you in on a secret spot for taking in Orange county views away from the beach. Lovely views galore can be captured in this lovely Fullerton Park. Just look at this view! This picture was taken in the winter. Oh that snow is so perfect on the...
If you want to escape the city while being close to it still, come here in Hillcrest Park. It is so speaceful though it is along busy Harbor Blvd. Locals love to walk and jog around here. More pics in Travelogues to come!
Equipment: a good pair of walking shoes

Address: 1300 N. Harbor Blvd.
Get the "Full" Lowdown at Villa del Sol
marinarena Says: Downtown/ Villa del SolWhen in Fullerton, go to the lovely Villa del Sol and pick up the Experience Fullerton Magazine. it has plenty of city info and even better, discounts for city establishments like restaurants, some that are a bit pricey downtown. One featured coupon is...
Fullerton - Fun and Passionate
marinarena Says: Lots of entertainment, especially in downtown. Something to remember here is the passion for history, such as what it has compared to, say, China. For example, the cause to restore the downtown Fox Theater near the intersection of Harbor Blvd and Chapman Ave.has been...

Fullerton - a bit of Country in the City!
Does this look like Fullerton? Well it really is in Fullerton. It's Laguna Lake. There are horse stables and corral nearby. Plus there an 11 mile trail that's shared by horses, joggers, hikers and...
Even though Southern California is one of my least favorite places to visit, I have to say that Fullerton stands alone in my opinion of places in the region. Personality floods the downtown area as......
