Yaqui Says: Located within the courtyard of the original chapel and the Tower of Hope is an art gallery. I wondered in and enjoyed all the lovely paintings. Make sure to take the time to seek it out.
Yaqui Says: The church grew to a congregation of thousands, as Schuller's emphasis on "possibility thinking" resonated within the community. In 1968, the 13-story Richard Neutra-designed Tower of Hope opened, housing to this day the world's first church-sponsored, 24-hour suicide and...
Yaqui Says: This was their first chapel, then to a new location and sanctuary in 1961 designed by renowned architect Richard Neutra. From here, they had plenty of seating and were still able to be seen by those who drove up and parked like a drive in. It has this huge beautiful organ in...
Yaqui Says: On the third floor of this beautiful visitor center are these huge blown up photographs of how the Crystal Cathedral has grown and progresssed over the years. It is a very neat display.

Carmela71 Says: I love cathedrals, not as religious symbols, just as architectural buildings. They are impressive, modern cathedrals try to imitate old styles as for example grace cathedral at San Francisco.But this modern one all in glass, really impressed me. I felt I was in front of the...
Carmela71 Says: Just a few miles from Disneyland is this cathedral, I guess we would have missed if we were not staying at Anaheim as we read about here at the guide, but we did not though it was going to be as impressive as it was.

Fun Facts about Anaheim, Orange County and Southern California. #1.Anaheim is not part of Los Angeles. Anaheim is located in Orange County -- 28 miles south of downtown LA. #2. Disneyland was built in 1955. When built, it was surrounded by nothing but orange groves. #3. Knott's Berry Farm is America's first and oldest themed amusement park - started by Walter and Cordelia Knott in 1920. #4. Universal Studio's Hollywood is the world largest working film- and motion picture studio. #5.

1st Annual Native American Pow-Wow, Santa Ana College, 1530 W. 17th Street, Santa Ana, California 92706-3398, (714) 564-6000!
Pow-wows are big in Orange County. The one we attended in July 2002 was held for the first time at Santa Ana College, and it was a resounding success! The only sad thing to report is that we were NOT allowed to take pictures because some tribes believe that a photograph captures part of the soul. I was brokenhearted, because these costumes and dances would have made FABULOUS photos! If you're in Garden Grove next summer, be sure to check and see if the Pow-Wow is scheduled during your visit. You will NOT want to miss this unforgettable performance of tribal music and dancing, along with the delicious food sold at the concession stands in addition to the beautiful Native American jewelry, arts and crafts!
