Old Towne Orange PLAZAREVIEW
From the Publisher I hope all is well with you as we move into Spring 2012! With this edition of the Orange Plaza Review, I want to express my sincere pleasure in sharing so many wonderful stories and activities. When I first started, I had little idea where my journey with the Plaza Review would take me. I simply enjoyed the friendships and alliances that developed along the way and the luxury of pursuing a satisfying career in the communicating arts. Initially, the relationships I developed with several Old Towne businesses afforded us all a modest win-win situation. Now, ten years later, I am deeply grateful to find many of those same advertisers still included on these pages. I’m also delighted with the many other supporters who entrust the Plaza Review to represent their interests to the community. With every issue, my team and I continue to expand and upgrade coverage. The hope is that you continue to enjoy the Plaza Review for the fun, accurate and useful information included here and on-line at OrangeReview.com. In this issue, see the pleasure and pride of new Orange homeowners, Dale and Gayle Ray, as they share their 1913 Craftsman-style bungalow in our cover story. I also encourage you to take a look at the “New to the Neighborhood” and “Know the Neighbors” columns, the latter of which highlights Orange’s first vitamin store, Licata’s Nutrition Center, now celebrating 50 years in Old Towne. As the parent of two young boys, I was pleased to read in “Sandy Sez” her advice to a 16-year-old on how to be treated like an adult. This is no doubt something I’ll be sharing with my sons. Don’t forget to peruse the “What’s Happening” calendar for the fine springtime events offered in our wonderful city. Enjoy!
