Costa Mesa
Not many cities have been named as a result of a contest among residents—except Costa Mesa, California! Modern Costa Mesa began to form during the years before and after World War I, when the area was known as Harper until 1920. Then, through a contest among its residents, the city was renamed Costa Mesa—Spanish for “coastal hill”.

Located 37 miles southeast of Los Angeles and 88 miles north of San Diego, Costa Mesa encompasses a total of 16 square miles with its southernmost border only one mile from the Pacific Ocean. Two freeways terminate in the city, California State Highway 73 and California State Highway 55 (Costa Mesa Freeway). In addition, Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) runs through the city.

Seven Things To Do

1. Pick a Piece of Produce

Orange County Fairgrounds

Costa Mesa is home to the Orange County Fairgrounds, which hosts one of the largest fairs in California, the Orange County Fair, each July. Also, the Fairgrounds features its popular Farmers Market every Thursday from 9am to 1pm, rain or shine. Sponsored by the California Farm Bureau, this certified farmers market is the real thing—a place where genuine farmers sell fruits, nuts and vegetables directly to the public.

In addition, don’t miss The Orange County Marketplace, a unique weekend outdoor shopping adventure on the Fairgrounds. Whether you’re looking for fresh produce, bagels, custom built furniture, or unique kitchen items, you’ll find it at this shopping fest every weekend from 7am until 4pm.

2. Shop ‘Til You Drop

South Coast Plaza

Opened in 1967, South Coast Plaza was built on land that was once the world’s most productive lima bean farm. Today, it is one of the world’s most famous shopping malls with over 300 stores—the single largest center of commercial activity in the city and billed as “The Ultimate Shopping Resort”. The Center is one of the nation’s most luxurious shopping destinations for high fashion, home furnishings, dining, spa services, and more.

Fashionable, Functional Fences

Finding the Right Fence to Seclude, Project and Beautify Your Property

Thinking about adding a fence to your home? Perhaps you want to beautify your property. Maybe your kids need a secure place to play or your pets could use some safe running room. Possibly you’d like more privacy from your neighbors.

Whatever the reason, the right fence can add beauty, character and value to your property. But with so many products on the market, where do you start?

According to Lynn Hayworth, president of the American Fence Association, there are several factors to consider including personal taste, safety, privacy and budget. She says with careful planning, you can ensure a trouble-free fence.

• Personal
  Taste Johnny Panjarjian, owner of Vinyl Pro Fence, says the first thing to do is research. Look around your neighborhood and browse through magazines. He advises homeowners to get a feel for their preferences in style and materials and determine the type of fence that will complement the architectural style of their home, landscaping and neighborhood.
• Safety
  Panjarjian says to consider safety in selecting fencing for your home. Do you need to keep children and pets in? Do you need to enclose a pool area?
• Privacy
  Don Kidder of San Diego Fence Company adds that privacy may be an important concern. How much privacy do you want? Do you prefer six-foot-tall fencing with solid board or a shorter version with more space between boards?
• Budget
  Kidder advises homeowners to determine a budget range. He cautions, however, to remember that the least costly fence initially may not be the least costly fence over the fence’s lifetime.

Once you’ve answered all the right questions, it’s time to select the right material for your fence.
