This Caltrans project to build a bridge over Orangethorpe and the railroad tracks has been in the works since the late 1990’s. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has also been involved in the project because it is part of the countywide “Smart Street” program. Anyone who drives through this intersection regularly is aware of the congestion created by the trains traveling along this particular track. Studies show that more than 70 trains a day travel this route, with that number expected to increase into the future. The bridge will be similar in design to the ones already in place on Fairmont Boulevard and Yorba Linda Boulevard. As the rendering to the left shows, access between Imperial and Orangethorpe/Esperanza will be provided via ramps. Caltrans’ contractors began wo... 05/04/2008

  When I was growing up, Yorba Linda still had a large agricultural business (Avacados, Oranges, Lemons, Strawberries, etc.) and it was quite common to see homeowners riding horses through out the city. The city has about 100 miles of equestrian, biking and walking trails. They have 3 arenas of which the Buena Vista facility is the largest. This is located near Buena Vista & Imperial Hwy. Also, you can access Chino Hills State Park off of Rimcrest in Yorba Linda and have miles of trail riding with sweeping views of the county. Since some homeowners buy specifically in Yorba Linda to own and house horses, questions about; Trails, programs, contests, stables, etc. comes up. You can get basic information about the trails, arenas and a trail map from the following site: http://www.ci.yorba-... 03/26/2008

   One of the wonderful things Yorba Linda was known for when I was growing up here was the open and rural feel of the city. Horse property was common and it was not unusual for homeowners to have very large lots. Even though the city has developed considerably over the last 40 years, we have made room for 2 golf courses. One of the courses, Yorba Linda Country Club, is a private course that also offers tennis and swimming. It has several banquet rooms for all occasions.

One of the most exciting things about driving by the Nixon Library & Birthplace lately is seeing the Presidential helicopter on exhibit. When I was growing up in the Placentia/Yorba Linda area, I remember seeing the old Nixon home next to the elementary school that sat on the lot for decades. To see how the Presidential Library turned out, no matter what side of the political aisle your on, is worth your time. Here is an interesting article about the Presidential helicopter:  One of the highlights of a trip to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is the chance to step aboard Marine One--the helicopter used by Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford. Extensively restored and now on permanent display at the library, the helicopter presents visitors with a rare chance to ... 03/24/2008

When I was finished posting my blog about the holiday events scheduled at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda  I thought to myself; I would like to go! I only live 5 minutes from the library and my husband was home and he had never attended. I thought what a nice little adventure for us to go on to celebrate Presidents day...and it was FREE!The place was packed! The were war protesters and Bush haters out in front and the parking was a challenge but it was all worth it when we stepped inside the foyer and walked across the presidential seal in the floor. All on my memories form 12 years ago rushed back. This was the area where Nixon's casket was when we attended the public viewing.  We walked though the very well arranged Museum. The Docents were very happy to tell u... 02/19/2008
