Fullerton, CA

Our office has a lot of agents, and it seems like each one of them is working with an investor. We have never seen so many investors as we see today. It appears that they have targeted the Fullerton real estate market as one of their "hunches". We think that they are correct, and suspect that we are right on the money -- the market has bottomed out -- and now is the time to buy.

Check for comparable neighborhood prices at www.foustonline.com, Home searches will help you to see what the market is saying. Also review neighborhoods to get a comparison of the areas.

The City Council of Fullerton has proclaimed today (Aug. 27) "Fred Willard Day" to recognize

the comedian's contributions to charitable organizations and to the city's theater programs.

Willard will be at Goodwin Field at Cal State Fullerton today when the Orange County Flyers salute the entertainer before the regular game.

Willard, known for his performances in "Best in Show", on The Jay Leno Show and in "Everybody Loves Raymond", has brought laughter to audiences for years. He has also helped Big Brothers Big Sisters and Actors and Others for Animals.

He will bring his comedy troupe, the MoHos, to Fullerton for a fundraiser at the STAGEStheatre on Oct. 3 and 4. For more information please call 714-525-4484.

I just have to start out by saying, "Shame on you, Cristal Drake, for taking five months to write a blog about one of your favorite places!". In all fairness, I have a blog topic list a mile long! Too much to do and too little time...Enough about that, now for The Matador Cantina!

If you live in Fullerton, then there is a pretty good chance that you have already been to The Matador. The Matador (formerly Rockin' Taco) opened a few months back and has been on my favorites list ever since. You can read various things about it on line so I am just going to cut right to the chase and tell you why I like it!

1. Ambiance- It is casual but to too much so. It is comfy and you feel right at home. Get there early because the booths fill up fast and people have a tendency to hang around in it long after they are done eating. During the day, my absolute favorite table is the window table.The windows open right up and you feel like you are in Mexico except you are inhaling the fumes from Harbor Blvd. It is not that bad; I sait it was my favorite seat didn't I?

2. Service and People - They are so nice and friendly there. One of the waiters still remembers me from the very first day and always makes me feel so welcome. The service is quick and with a smile. And for the people; I run into someone I know there every single time. Yes, every time. Note to self: Do not go to The Matador on a "no make-up day".

3. Food - In a word: AMAZING! Not your typical Mexican fare here! I can't even explain it. It is just good. I love the Mole sauce and for desert? Get the CARROT CAKE! Somehow they took my favorite desert and made it better!

4. Drinks- They have all the usuals on tap, full bar and I don't know how they do this but their specialty drinks are Margaritas, Sangria and Mojitos! All are delicious!!!!!

5. Specials - These are important so pay attention!

• Monday - Half off all wine by the glass!
• Tuesday - TACO TUESDAY!
• Wednesday - Handcrafted $5 Margaritas 2pm-2am today every Wednesday at Matador!
• Happy Hour- MON-FRI 2PM-6PM
  $3 DOMESTIC BEERS, $4 IMPORT, $4 WELLS, $5 CALLS
  AND $5 APPS!
  
• LUNCH - THEY are open! Many places in Downtown Fullerton are NOT. They have an amazing lunch menu for around $8.00 bucks! You can't even get fast food for that. You will love this. Get the grilled veggie torta!

Whenever I talk to friends that don't happen to live in or near Fullerton they are always saying how much they would like to visit or check it out. It's either that or "geez, you sure love that town, Fullerton!" It's all just from hearing me ramble on about it in my blogs or on Facebook and the like.

So what is all the fuss about Fullerton?  If you stopped to talk to the people that live here, they would all tell you that we are just not like other towns in Orange County! 

I just found this video and I think it is worth watching if you have never been to our lovely town. It is a few years old as the Rockin' Taco is now the Matador but I think you'll get the idea.

If I wasn't a Realtor(r) in the town I love, I might have to figure out how to make a career out of being a tour guide or journalist reporting on all the Fullerton happenings!  A little cheesy, I know but so am I so I think it would work!
