City pays hookers: to leave. La Habra plans to buy itself a strip club, reports the LAT. After trying to shut down the Taboo Gentlemen's Club for almost a decade, they've decided to put $5.2 million down to get the guy in charge and his gals to 'git. Boom Boom Room Doom? The co-owners of the iconic Laguna Beach gay bar tried everything to save it from being phased out by the new building owner. They asked George Clooney and Brad Pitt to intervene, they threw a pretty boy contest with minor cele
August 22, 2007A little too close to home
Growing up in Garden Grove- there are few places to grab a moment of solitude conveniently located next to one's home. Huntington Beach is kinda far. La Habra heights too. A park? Maybe. This may sound odd but when life was getting me down, or hell, even out of sheer boredom - my friends and I found ourselves gathered on the Harbor pedestrian bridge, that arches over the 22 freeway. My good friend Jeremy ( seen in above photo) was the person I'd frequent the bridge with the most - mostly

Orange County Register: The top viewed story on the Reg website as my knuckles drag across the keyboard? Octuplets' mom reportedly moving to La Habra. That should shut up anyone who whines the media should stop covering Nadya Suleman so she'll slither back into obscurity. It's not like journos are being deluged by people demanding, "Give us more Ben Bernanke!" But I had to laugh while watching a morning news reporter on the teevee sticking his microphone into the faces of Su
March 10, 2009Urgent, Dire OctoMom News Update
News reporters, news photographers, news helicopters, police cars and dozens and dozens of random (apparently bored) locals flocked to a La Habra neighborhood after 10 p.m. tonight, all to see OctoMom arrive at her Orange County home with two of the more recent offspring. For context: Ponder the dire state of our world affairs--terrorism, war, disgusting sex crimes and cover-ups, pending economic collapse, grotesque political corruption, disgraceful health care costs, sex slavery, st

May 21, 2009Tale of 2 Police Forces: While Irvine's Fumes, La Habra's Bites the Bullet
To protect and serve . . . for less.​While their counterparts in "Safest City in America" Irvine fume over an employer-proposed wage freeze, officers who belong to the La Habra Police Association seem to have gladly accepted a deal that imposes what is essentially a 5 percent pay cut. "Although difficult, we commend our members, and other city labor groups, for agreeing to tighten our collective belts in order to help the city through our national recession," says La Habra association presiden
August 19, 2009Get Your Roasted Hatch Chiles While They're (Somewhat) Hot!
Hopefully, gentle readers, ustedes need no introduction to the glory of the Hatch chile; if you do, read this. Salivating yet? Save it, and drive to La Habra this weekend--specifically, Albertson's, where they will be selling 30-pound sacks for $28.99 and roasting them for gratis from eight in the morn until two in the afternoon--or, they run out (and they will). Address is 1800 W. Whittier Blvd., and the phone number (562) 697-6442.However, if you don't want to take Beach all the way up to the
August 21, 2009A Tale of Two Hatch Chile Roasts
Picture to come once my chica updates her blog...Maybe there's really nothing to do in La Habra. Maybe Newport Beach was too drunk already tailgating for the USC game to care. But, boy, was there a hell of a difference at the county's two public Hatch chile roasts.The first one occurred August 22 at the Albertson's in La Habra. It was to be a two-day affair, but when my chica and I arrived Sunday morning around 9 a.m., we were 24 hours too late. According to store management, they sold out of 12
September 9, 2009Racist OC Register Fustercluck of the Week: Disappearing Comments Edition
Not sure why, but when I sat down to write up this column today, all the comments on all the hot-button stories on the OC Register website appear to have been disabled. Could it be that the overworked censors on Grand Street just decided to hit the nuke button? Either that or my computer sucks, in which case, my apologies. Either way, it's a bummer because, despite a reader's comment last week that I have to dig deep to find racist comments each week to fill enough copy for my Friday column...â€
September 11, 2009Five Great Iconic, Old-School Restaurants
Where bird is the Eternal Word...​Recently, a reader wrote to complain about my choice of Aloha BBQ as the best restaurant in Mission Viejo for my book, Orange County: A Personal History. Her choice of Capriccio's wasn't better--really, Aloha's main competition is Hatam. But the email got me thinking about those few, those proud, those restaurants that have existed for decades that, while not exactly the best in quality anymore, nevertheless are icons in their respective city, places one must
October 5, 2009Attention North-County Voters! Register to Replace The Dripper!
Dearly disgraced Mike "The Dripper" Duvall​Monday is your last day to register to vote in the Assembly District 72 special primary. Info on registration is at the OC Registrar of Voter's site.If you're unsure of whether you're an AD72 constituent, you can use the State Assembly's ghetto website to figure it out.
