From the Publisher 106
As we enter the final months of 2021, here at the Plaza Review, we express our sincere appreciation to everyone who continues to make this publication a reality. This includes our readers, advertisers and those who open the doors of their businesses and even homes to share their uplifting stories.
With each issue of the Old Towne Orange Plaza Review, we are invited into the homes of residents who are caretaking for a wide variety of historic homes within Old Towne and Orange. These gracious homeowners allow us to peek into their houses and lives. Readers tell us that they enjoy the home tours, finding them informational and inspirational. See the Old Towne home of Christy Mecxin and her fiancé, Austin Muckenthaler, on pgs. 18-21 and on the front cover.

In each issue, we also take a close look at businesses and organizations that have become woven into the fabric of the Orange community. On page 16, we check in with Adel and Zalfa Mahshi, owners of Byblos Cafe, serving Old Towne for 32 years. Then on page 17, the folks at Orange Home Grown Farmers & Artisans Market, a part of the community since 2009, inform us of upcoming holiday events and offerings. You can also read about the illustrious past of the Orange Rotary, currently celebrating its 100th year in Orange (pgs. 24-25).
With each issue of the Plaza Review, I’m always pleased to see so many photos of smiling faces. The joy reflected in those pictures represents the pleasure I feel in being blessed to share all these wonderful stories about a community so close to my heart.
I wish you a wonderful holiday season filled with memorable times with family and friends. Sincerely,
