"Another View of Anaheim" a Anaheim Travel Page by marinarena

does not get attention- just that artifical wonderland that we all know and love, detest or feel some ambivalence towards (I lean towards the latter).

Pictured to the right is a pretty shot of Anaheim Hills, the residential part of Anaheim that makes a nice place to honeymoon actually or provides an alternative area just outside of D-Land geared towards adults.

Well, here , I'll try to cover as much non-Disneyland (or D-Land) stuff as possible. Disney practically owns the town, for the bad and good. The city takes on such a commercial feel -- this would be a negative. Yet Disney money does help rebuild and beautify the city--- this is a plus!!

Currently, I am right next door to Anaheim (living in northwest Orange), so expect more details of actual life here, such as, rating the local grocery stores or local boutiques and restaurants tips.

I made my way through Toontown with Rich to find the favorite one of the Magic Kingdom (no offense Mickey but, you don't even measure up to Goofy with whom I have been captured twice! See me in travelogues with Goofy!!

This is a classic shot of me and Inland Empire Richie...I believe from 1998 or so.

at the New Orleans Quarter in D- Land...

Things to note about Anaheim:

Anaheim is of a Spanish-German background Ana (common Spanish female name)+ Heim ("town" in German)

The city is the 10th largest in California, with about 330,000 residents.

Anaheim has a few international sister cities- Vitoria, Spain and Mito, Japan.

Regrettably, there is a connection to the Klux Klux Klan to Anaheim government, back in the early 19th century. Rest assured, Anaheim is nowadays a tolerant community with harmonious cultures of good people.
