That looks like the blimp hangers in Columbus Square in the upper right hand corner.

ah crap...you just gave away my source of my next 100 posts of "Where in.. was this picture taken" and the chance of beating up Mr. BK at his own game! >:-(

Snow?!

You should see the old photos of Costa Mesa during the flood of 1938.

Next time you're fighting a traffic ticket (or buying a foreclosure home) check out the photos in the Santa Ana courthouse.

I know someone who would rather pay the ticket and never buy a foreclosed home just to avoid crossing over the 55.

Yes there was snow in Irvine/Tustin 60 years ago, I wasn't there, but there are several pictures to prove it.

Since at that time, this area was a remarkably agricultural area, that event should have caused some damage to the Valencias, Lemons trees.
