i don’t get the whole english baronial library in a MCM, though.

Update: Fullerton walking tour.

I drove around Raymond Hills last weekend in search of a good route for us to walk. The mid-century modern homes are spread out all over the place. Many are concealed because the home rests on top of a hilly area and can only be seen by trespassing up a long private driveway. I did find about 6 that are viewable from the street and along the same path.

I propose we start at Starbucks, load up of caffeine, then venture through two streets near downtown Fullerton that are lined with historical homes. From there we can cross over Harbor and head up into the hills to the neighborhood with the mid century modern homes (on the way we will pass Fullerton’s national landmark Hillcrest Park and a second neighborhood of vintage homes).  We could end our tour at Cafe Hidalgo in downtown Fullerton for lunch. This would make our walk about 5 miles. Would 5 miles be too much? See my attached map of my proposed route. Let’s hear some input.

I’m free next weekend, May 9th or 10th to do this. Or May 30th and 31st. I think we should start in the late morning so it’s not too hot. Who is interested in doing this? What days are you free?

Below you will find some pictures of the places we will be walking by.
