Two more photos from the Cleveland National Forest today. These two show the Santa Ana Tin Mine, which I discussed on this blog last April. I won't be surprised if James Newland also talks about the mine -- or at least mining -- in his talk to the OCHS tomorrow night.

The Register's "Arts Blog" recently featured an update on the (endangered?) Mariners Medical Arts complex (1963, Richard Neutra) in Newport Beach.

The First Presbyterian Church of Anaheim celebrated their 140th anniversary last Sunday. See the Register's article for the story. The church also has a book available by Alan Lopez, entitled, Living the Journey: 140 Years Serving in Anaheim. Can anyone challenge their claim of being the "oldest Protestant church in Orange County?" (I'm not trying to burst anyone's bubble. I just tend to see "oldest" statements as a challenge for us historians. )
