Since 2001
Old Towne Orange PLAZAREVIEW
From the Publisher I’m always so impressed with the people we feature in the Old Towne Orange Plaza Review. Reading their inspiring and encouraging stories puts a smile on my face. Some of the subjects we feature are new to me, while others I’ve known for years. All offer insight into what makes Orange a magnetic, connected community. We met Chapman University Provost Glenn Pfeiffer (pg. 29) back in our Sep/Oct 2018 edition when we featured him as the “Building Character” subject. In this edition, he shares his appreciation for the many strides Chapman has made in improving the university and community. Prominent Plaza property owner and architect Leason Pomeroy originally appeared in our Sep/Oct 2008 edition. In this issue (pg. 24), he shares some of his cherished childhood memories in Orange, along with details on several projects that will likely encourage many others to create their own memories here in Orange. With so much uncertainty this past year, it is our pleasure to highlight steadfast members of our community in our “Know the Neighbors” column (pgs. 13-15). For years, these friendly, helpful employees of local businesses have contributed to the Plaza’s welcoming reputation. As always, I am deeply grateful to our advertisers, who make this publication a reality. These include Byblos Café, Caliber Real Estate, Chapman University, Country Roads Antiques and Hilbert Museum, to name a few. If you know businesses or community members who would make good future subjects in the Plaza Review, reach out and share their stories with us. We’re always interested in hearing about the many residents and business owners who make the Plaza and Orange such a fun and inviting place to live, work, shop and dine. Sincerely, Mike Escobedo
