2018 General Meeting - Ruby's Diner - January 20th

PictureClick to Enlarge
​2018 Annual Meeting  OTPA began the new year with its 32nd annual membership meeting. Mayor Tita Smith, one of OTPA’s founders, told the full house audience at Ruby’s Diner how OTPA started back when several historic structures were being torn down and lost forever. OTPA was formed to prevent other structures from demolition and thus began the preservation movement in Old Town.

Chapman University VP of Campus Planning and Operations, Kris Eric Olsen, brought members up to date on the huge inventory of new housing soon to be available to students at the recently acquired Chapman Grand apartments on Katella, and the soon to be constructed Villa Park Packing House Residence Village.

Noted Orange historian, Phil Brigandi, talked about how Old Towne is the core of neighboring communities in Orange County, and amazed the audience with a story about the Chinese laundry that, decades ago, was located on the current site of the Friends Presbyterian Church.    

​OPTA’s 2018 Board of Directors and officers were approved, and include:

Sandy Quinn, President
Tony Trabucco, Vice President & Membership Chair

"Orange Stories You (Probably) Don't Know"

Step back in time and join us as notable Orange historian, Phil Brigandi, recounts anecdotes about Orange's historical heritage. The master storyteller will share stories of other crops, communities, enterprises, and even civic arson that are also part of the history of Orange we all know.

Phil Brigandi has been researching and writing local history since 1975, with a special emphasis on his hometown of Orange. He is the author of two dozen books, including his book on historic homes in Orange, "A Place Called Home, Orange's Architectural Legacy".
