Old Town Irvine

The Old Towne walking tour was wonderful and our docent Gayle was a wealth of knowledge and really opened everyone's eyes to how much history Irvine actually has. Old town Irvine is not like most old towns, where there is a long street with old buildings. If you blink, you would miss it. The tour shows you the blacksmiths building (Knowlwoods), the garage (Denny's), the old silos (La Quinta Hotel) and shares stories about how the general store, a temporary housing building and one home have been moved to this strip of what is called Old Town. We saw the blacksmiths catalog of work which is present today, drill bits, lathes and so much more. The tours are once a month and it lasts one hour. Highly recommend it.

Love it, brings back memories of when I was younger, back in the 60s,70s and 80s Does where magical year's in Irvine. Irvine Country Store was my favorite place to be and take lots of pictures. I do miss all that Western style. Irvine has grown and it continues growing all around, I still go sometimes and visit the neiborhood at Burt Rd. And Sand Canyon.

There is a hair salon and a dentist as well as a couple places to eat in the parkimg lot of LaQuinta. This is a quiet area very clean.
