Oh my goodness, just went to my 5th grade son's school for their presentation of 'Walk Through The…read moreAmerican Revolution'. It was AWESOME! Thank you for bringing the American Revolution to life and putting it totally in perspective! I learned SO much myself! Our presenter was Chelsea. She did a magnificent job (2-1/2 hours worth) keeping the kids active and learning! They were cheering ALL throughout the presentation and completely engaged. She had them answering questions, doing battle scenes (which they had practiced beforehand) and getting on a soap-box to present their own specially chosen character. My son was Paul Revere. We dressed him up and he memorized just a few lines that he recited during the 'show'. The kids had a blast, WE ALL learned about the time-line of events, who's who and the meaning of at least 5 of our country's different flags. Awesome. Another point I have to make (being a Christian). Unlike the public schools, California Weekly Explorer Inc kept God in the picture. Many times Chelsea would comment about how different Presidents/Explorers/Important people in history gave God the glory and/or spoke about Him in a 'Let's do what's RIGHT' way. I mean, God IS who our country's founded upon . . . look at the Declaration of Independence etc .. . Anyway, I really appreciated that. Thank you California Weekly!

My son was John Hancock and there was only one lady that ran everything her name was Kim. Kim did a fantastic job at keeping us and the children interested and entertained. I wish my daughter did this when she was in the 5th grade. I think this should be requireD for all schools to learn about the American revolution in this setting. Again thank you Kim for being so enthusiastic and energetic and helped our children learn about the American revolution in a way they will always remember. I'm very grateful that my son was able to take part in such a wonderful learning experience such as this.

I am based in Pasadena which is 50 miles away but I do not mind giving Ivy and her team all of my business. They respond to messages late at night and provide you with a digital proof before printing. Their prices are extremely competitive and I didn't even look anywhere else. They delivered the sign on time that far exceeded my expectations. There was a very minor glitch, two additional grommets on the sign that was not called for and didn't really affect the sign at all. Ivy offered without me asking to redo the sign and ship it to me free of charge and let me keep the first sign with the hiccup. The sign was fine but they were perfectionists and want the customer to be 1000% satisfied. I know this time they did not make much profit if any with all the manufacturer and shipping costs. I was shocked once again when I received the sign how intricately they packaged it. They must have spent at least 20 minutes packing the sign! This tells you that the Ivy and her team really care about their image and they are truly dedicated to the customer experience. It was like unpacking a ceramic bowl! Please do what you do because you do it with humility and candor. You are a diamond in the rough. You are the definition and role model of what a business should be and ought to be. I am a client for life. Thank you once again Ivy & Visual Signs!

There is no better newspaper that covers the Irvine area. We now are one of the fastest growing…read moreareas in Orange County and our population has especially grown in the northern Irvine areas. The Irvine News and Views is the only source that gives in depth reporting and investigates in detail what has been happening here. We now have Districting and an election coming up in a few months. This is going to be our best source for finding out who is running and how they envision our future. The coverage of the development of the Great Park is of special interest as we now live here. I thank them for their coverage, important investigations and great dedication to the health of our community. We look forward to reading articles on our environment, our schools, business development and the sharing of what is happening around town. Irvine has come a very long way since its incorporation with much more to come.

NOT A REAL NEWS SOURCE I hate to write negative reviews…read more However, in this case I feel the need to do so. With its name and style of reporting, this publication presents itself as a valid news source. However, it is not. With news publications, there is of course always the element of subjectivity as it is easy for a news source to get the balance wrong in terms of presenting both sides. But they are legitimate as they try to report facts. But this publication unfortunately does not report facts. For example, it is currently and repeatedly claiming the members of a group known as Irvine for Responsible Growth (who are gathering signatures to slow the pace of building within the city) are paid petitioners. It is also claimed that this group is trying to "essentially halt all commercial and residential growth". These claims are completely untrue. The campaign has very little money and so must rely completely on volunteers and is not about stopping growth. Given the positions it has taken, this publication appears to reflect the interests of the Irvine Company - a company privately owned that concentrates on developing real estate - that owns among other things the Irvine Spectrum Center and Fashion Island. It is a shame. Our city of Irvine has a population of over 250,000. We should have a good newspaper covering local issues that is balanced and informative. Regrettably, the Irvine City News takes advantage of this gap. If you can control people's information (even with falsehoods), you can control their choices. That seems to be the goal of this publication. Its goal is definitely not to inform the public and let them decide for themselves.
