Today I had the pleasure of visiting the Woelke-Stoffel House built in 1894, named after two of…read moreit's owners, John Gottlieb Woelke and Peter Stoffel, this home is one of the most beautiful Queen Anne designs in architecture that Anaheim has ever seen.  The home was designed by architect, George Franklin Barber, and the building of it was overseen by contractor, Armstrong Davis Porter in 1896. The Woelke family lived in the home for several years before moving to Los Angeles in 1899 and purchasing the Hotel Argyle. In 1899, when John had left Anaheim, he sold the home to Isaac Lyons, a native of England who came to California in 1862. Lyons lived in the home with his family from 1899 to 1904 when he sold the house to another family, the Michod's. They lived in the home from 1904 to 1907 and then sold the home to another family, Olmstead's. This family would only live there for less than a year before Peter Stoffel and his family would buy it, and make this house their home in 1907. Peter Stoffel lived the rest of his life in the home. It wasn't until Peter's wife died, that the family estate sold the property to John Dwyer when the city had planned to demolish it.  Tours are FREE every first Saturday of the month, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

This is similar to the Painted Ladies you see in San Francisco and older homes in certain parts of Seattle. Unfortunately because of Covid there are no interior tours but you can still see the outside and get an idea of how a wealthy person lived back then. The building itself has distinct features for the American Queen Anne style including asymmetric facade, cylindrical tower, and decorative overhanging eaves over a large wrap-around porch. Tiling and shingling work is impressive and though this style isn't something I really like I can appreciate the design of it. Cool random fishscale tiles on the tower somehow work very well. Hilariously at night it does look kind of creepy and its right in back of Anaheim High School, a lot of my friends in this area used to tell me all about the Witches House or the old Haunted House. 4 stars because you cannot go inside at this time so you only get half of the picture.

I was really disappointed with my recent experience at Anaheim Packing District, especially because…read moreof how unwelcoming and not pet-friendly the environment felt. In today's world, dogs are no longer considered just pets. They are family members, companions, and an important part of our everyday lives. For many of us, our dogs are like our children. We care for them, travel with them, and include them in our family outings. They bring happiness, emotional comfort, and unconditional love into our lives. I understand that businesses have policies and that there are health and safety regulations regarding animals, especially in dining establishments. However, there is a difference between following regulations and creating an environment where visitors with dogs feel unwelcome. Anaheim Packing District promotes itself as a vibrant community destination where people can gather, enjoy food, and spend quality time together. Unfortunately, the lack of pet-friendly accommodations significantly reduced my overall experience. A place designed to bring people together should also recognize that many families today include four-legged members. Southern California has a strong dog-loving community, and many restaurants, shopping centers, and outdoor destinations have successfully created welcoming environments for responsible pet owners. Having designated pet-friendly areas, outdoor seating options, or clearer communication about pet policies would make a tremendous difference. Being pet-friendly doesn't mean compromising cleanliness, safety, or the comfort of other guests. It means finding a reasonable balance that makes everyone feel welcome. What should have been an enjoyable outing turned into a disappointing experience. Instead of relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere, I was left feeling that bringing my dog was an inconvenience. I sincerely hope Anaheim Packing District management considers becoming more accommodating to families with dogs. Times have changed, and businesses should recognize how important pets have become in people's lives. A dog may be considered a pet under the law, but in our hearts and homes, they are family. Unfortunately, this experience has made me less likely to return or recommend Anaheim Packing District to other dog owners. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and considers making the destination more inclusive and welcoming to responsible pet owners and their beloved companions.

It originally opened in the park in 1955! The Main Street Cinema has the design based on a Victoria inspired facade, and an old fashioned big box office window! Inside the theater, features several small screens showing vintage films. Over the years, the lineup has shifted. The Cinema is known for it's screening of Steamboat Willie from 1928, the very first synchronized sound cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse! There are some benches that you can sit inside and watch the films. It's also air conditioned if you're looking to take a break during the summer!

Though it's just a short stretch, Historic Main Street is one of the key historical landmarks in…read moreGarden Grove. In the 19th century, many people were migrating to the Midwest and Western U.S., and Garden Grove was one of the cities established by these settlers. Originally an agricultural community, Garden Grove was known for its orange and stone fruit farms (which is why early homes always had orange trees in the backyard). Main Street was the hub for community gatherings, which led to the development of surrounding services like post offices, churches, and local shops. In 1905, the introduction of the Pacific Electric Railway boosted the transportation of agricultural products from Garden Grove, making it easier for farmers to ship their goods. By the 1950s, with the rise of highways and suburbanization, local businesses began moving to larger shopping malls and newly developed towns, leaving Main Street's glory days behind. However, after 1980, there was a greater focus on historical preservation, and the city of Garden Grove invested resources to restore and maintain these original buildings. Today, many of these old structures have been given new life, housing restaurants, cafés, and thrift stores. The area also hosts annual events like car shows, concerts, and festivals, which help promote local culture and keep the economy thriving. Garden Grove is also one of the primary destinations for Asian immigrants in Orange County. The city has a diverse population, with about 42% Asian, 17% White, 15% Hispanic (White), and 14% Hispanic. Around 44% of the residents are naturalized U.S. citizens who were born outside the U.S. On weekdays, the street is pretty quiet, with most people hanging out inside the cafés. I took a walk around and came across the quirky Elvis-themed Mexican restaurant, Azteca Restaurant & Lounge, the popular Vietnamese coffee shop Phin Smith, another Vietnamese café called Phuc Long Coffee and Tea, and a thrift store that, to my surprise, sells wedding dresses and formal gowns! It was a fun and relaxed afternoon. Garden Grove Historic Main Street Free parking.
