Unexpected

Spotted at a location just off Raymond Avenue. We just cannot comprehend all of the repercussions of the devastating fires, can we? We have to search for something positive, and who could ever have known this could be one? A truckload of overused gear from the fire was termed out; you can see the damage, yet this truckload was being offloaded to a storage unit, soon to be driven to Mexico, where the person we talked to said they were Heaven Sent. Lives will be saved. Have mercy.

Sports Shorts

It’s that time of year, so we checked in with Downtown Fullerton’s Titan Guru Tom Elliott for the annual Titan Report: As usual, the Titans opened the 2025 campaign against their perennial foe, the Stanford Cardinal, at home on February 14-17.

The Titan team makeup is a mix of upcoming new talent (freshmen and transfers) and a veteran presence from last season’s squad. We can expect to see a team that should score a lot of runs as well as a pitching staff that will develop as the team unfolds. A new development this year will be the return of the Big West Tournament that CSUF will host at Goodwin Field May 21-25. For tickets and info go to http://www.athletics@fullerton.edu

Depot Improvements

Even if you have never taken a train trip, stop by the Fullerton Transportation Center soon and experience one of the most enjoyable places to go when roaming downtown. There are a few things going on now that are making sure it will be an even better visit.

The City’s Clean California Transit Enhancement project will upgrade signage, including new entry monument signs, provide enhanced landscaping and new planter boxes, refinish and restore paint, and public art will eventually be featured at a prominent depot location. Yes, there will be even more, such as new benches, trash receptacles, and bike lane restriping. By the way, this is all being funded by a grant. Be sure to stop by the Santa Fe Café and take in the activity, or head to the Railroad Museum on the first or third Saturday of any month, open from 9am to Noon. FREE

Mo’s Goes?

Say it ain’t so. After moving truckload after truckload from the immense, time-honored downtown location just down the road a piece to Commonwealth near Raymond, we all figured Mo’s Music would be around for a few more decades. Not so fast, Roger has decided to pull up stakes and close ‘er down. Yet another tease: stay tuned and subscribe to get the rest of the story. This is where you get all the Fullerton news that’s fit to print.

WoW RIP

Yep, gone; we shall see how this affects commerce on West Wilshire in the next issue.

We still had no complete answer to the question from two issues ago, so here is an updated photo and info. The reaction was about as big as any we have ever posted here.

Last time: Sure, the answer was actually in the copy itself, which was Billy Barty’s Roller Fantasy, so the question really generated a lot of response. The photo question in the previous issue with the construction photo did not generate any correct answers and now, here is an updated photo of the construction site right across Chapman from Fullerton College. Many of you have figured it out since, so thanks to Pam, Debbie, Judy, Robert, Joe, Jeffry, Rob and many more. This is the Wilshire chiller plant relocation and yes, the Wilshire Auditorium will remain.

This time: This was Fullerton’s first park. Where was it?
