    Hidden Canyon in Irvine

    I like the location.  Closer to the coast so will be cooler and a straight shot down to Laguna Beach.  Those floor plans look really nice.  It'll be interesting to see what price the homes open at.

    Best chain pizza

    Round Table is great.  I agree, the best among the national chains.  Locally, First Class Pizza beats Round Table. I don't like Costco's Pizza.  It's cheap and tastes that way.  Do love $1.50 hotdog/soda tho.  I miss the Choc dipped ice cream bar with crushed almonds.

    Woodbury Elementary

    Haha, there are no "projects" in Irvine like in Chicago or D.C.  If nobody mentioned the low income housing, you would never notice them.  They look like every other Irvine apartment complex. What Irvinecommuter said is true.  All of these elementary schools in Stonegate, Woodbury, Portola...

    Woodbury Elementary

    Don't sweat it, Woodbury Elementary is a fine school.  I know folks that send their kids there, they're happy.  A lot of Woodbury residents send their kids to other schools cuz of the year around aspect or they delude themselves thinking neighboring elementary schools are better. As an aside, I...
