GOODAN, MABLE GERALDINE "GERI"
Culturally speaking, Asians tend to have a much longer-term view than Americans do. They look at real estate as multigenerational, not short-term focused. Thats why they are making purchases during times when others may shy away. Boom and Bust Orange County, where Walt Disney built his first theme park and the teen television drama The O.C. took place, has close ties to the U.S. housing boom and bust. Firms including New Century Financial Corp. (NEW) and Ameriquest Mortgage Co., whose loose lending standards fueled the national real estate bubble, had their headquarters in the area before the subprime collapse. The unemployment rate in Orange County was 8 percent in January, less than the 10.9 percent figure for all of California and 8.3 percent for the U.S., according to the states Employment Development Department. The median household income in the county, home to 3 million people, was $74,344 as of 2010, more than the $60,883 median statewide, according to U.S.

In Huntington Beach, a new wave of resentment revives '909er' stereotype
:: There is no agreed-upon definition of a 909er. For some, it's just a catchall for the Inland Empire. For others, it conjures up an image of young people absorbed with dirt-bike gear and lifted trucks. Urban Dictionary takes its own shot at the 909, describing it as "a great place to live between Los Angeles and Las Vegas if you don't mind the meth labs, cows, and dirt people." For the 21-year-old grad student who created the Facebook page, the tipping point was the night of violence on Main Street, which he insisted was caused by 909ers. "We're trying to defend our beaches from people that don't live there. People that come down to destroy instead of protect," he said, declining to give his name because of the possible repercussions. "I'd prefer if they just didn't come at all." Susie Smith, owner of Makin Waves Salon on Main Street, said some visitors seem to "come with a chip on their shoulder and think we have more things or a better life than they do, and they don't respect our community." She conceded, though, that labeling people from the Inland Empire '909ers' may not help ease the tension.

O.C. city likely to drop Halloween law aimed at sex offenders
Bellucci filed a similar lawsuit last year to strike down a Simi Valley ordinance that also required people convicted of sex crimes to post a sign. That law also banned them from putting up Halloween displays and outside lighting on Oct. 31. But the day before the Simi Valley law went into effect, federal court Judge Perry Anderson issued a temporary restraining order barring the city from enforcing the sign provision. The judge let stand provisions of the ordinance that keep sex offenders from turning on outside lights, decorating their homes and answering their doors to trick-or-treaters. Bellucci estimates there are about 100 registered sex offenders in Orange. The Megan's Law online directory lists 84. In Orange, no registered sex offenders have been cited since the ordinance was adopted, said City Atty.

Pho 88 has the best pho in Orange County, CA (Photos)
The rare sliced steak was tender and flavorful. The hot broth will cook your steak pretty quickly, so eat it first if you like it rare. The well-done brisket was super-tender and broke apart with ease so you can get just the right amount with a bunch of noodles. The book tripe was sliced up in slivers giving you a chewy, crunchy texture, yet it soaked up the flavor of the soup. I LOVE this soup, especially on a rainy day! Thumbs up, way up! #65 is Bun served with Grilled Short Ribs and Shrimp Paste in Tofu Wrap, beans sprouts, lettuce, carrots, sliced cucumbers, diced peanuts, and their special sweet & sour fish sauce. This is the perfect dish when its warm outside. I like to describe it as a Vietnamese salad with noodles.

California sees significant drop in unemployment year over year
Bono, a retired lawyer, took over the restaurant business after his mother died in the 1990s. More than 10 years ago, the Fontana Historical Society, of which Bono is a member, got word that a stand three miles east was going to be destroyed. The society moved it to a Wal-Mart parking lot, then Bono paid to have it moved to the parking area of Bono's Restaurant & Deli, where it still sits, restored but unused. That could change. Bono has been remodeling the restaurant, adding a wine bar, among other changes. He also has plans for the Orange Attorney. "When I reopen this stand, I think I'm going to sell OJ out of it, like an Orange Julius," he said. Juice and burgers were the draw at Mammoth Orange, a roadside joint that operated for years in Fairmead, an unincorporated area of Madera County just south of Chowchilla. Larry Hibdon, a retired park and recreation director, recalls cycling there with friends. "It was a nice 25-mile loop out to it and back," Hibdon said.

California's main squeeze
