Cerritos: a Theater Town!

Water fountain in Cerritos, California
There is much to discover in a city, which just happens to be my old hometown. Who knows, with its charm, perhaps I'll come back here to stay.

The main reason to devote a page for Cerritos is to promote its spectacular theater. Many out-of-town folk have come here since the opening of the Cerritos Performing Arts Center in 1993. This is truly a world-class venue, which has hosted famous singers, orchestras, ballet companies, comedians and other artists.

For the arts lover, I suggest that you spend the day in this town before catching an evening show. Have breakfast or lunch in one of the many restuarants and cafes here, shop downtown at the Towne Center or at Los Cerritos Center (mall), stroll in one of the many parks lined with beatiful trees and then head your way to the box office!
Heritage Park, Cerritos (USA)

A park-filled town

Here is a shot of Heritage Park, one of over a dozen pictureque parks in this relatively small town.

I reccomend coming south in Los Angeles county just to have a picinic here!

Lovely Waters

Lovely close-up shot of a little pond found near City Hall.

Little Cerritos has a unique beauty, though it is also "yet another" suburb of Los Angeles. My home city stands out, like a diamond out of the rough.
