106 days ago by bbonadminHey everybody, Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour is celebrating America’s favorite doll, Barbie! She is turning 54 years old but still looks 24! Join Barbie and Ken look-alikes this Saturday, March 9, from 10-11:00 a.m. for a fun filled morning at Farrell’s, with a special Barbie inspired pink 30-scoop – 5 ½ lb. ice cream Zoo. Kids will sing along to a birthday song especially created to honor Barbie and best yet, kids get to eat the Zoo for free and receive birthday presents as well.
For guests that can’t make it to the 10am main birthday event, Farrell’s will be celebrating all day by selling a pink $1.99 birthday-sundae to all guests that bring in their favorite Barbie doll and purchase a kids or adult entrée and drink. The special $1.99 birthday sundae is fashioned from one scoop of strawberry ice cream, strawberry sauce, pink whipped cream, party sprinkles and a cherry on top.
“Barbie is America’s favorite doll. She’s an original piece of Americana and takes all of us back to the fond memories of our childhood, just like Farrell’s.” says Michael Fleming, CEO, Parlour Enterprises, Inc. “This was a great opportunity to celebrate an American icon, but even more so, it was just a great excuse to have a lot of fun.” -

NBC4’s Fritz Coleman Holiday Toys for Tots Campaign Bus with Susan Gaede in Brea Downtown.
Well, it was a ride chasing NBC4’s Fritz Coleman promoting his Toys for Tots holiday bus campaign. He was due to broadcast live in Brea Downtown last night at 11:00 p.m. while featuring the Eagle Hills Neighborhood on TV. Some people say he was spotted at Country Hills Elementary, others say at Brea’s Sports Park, but Susan Gaede and I found him at 11:00 sharp at Primose & Foxfire Street in the festive neighborhood of Eagle Hills.
Eagle Hills home owners, Bertha & Jose Moreno pose for a photo with Fritz.
Fritz and company set-up in front of Bertha and Jose Moreno’s beautifully decorated home with all their neighbors anxiously waiting to be on TV. It was a long process, but well worth it. Everyone had a great time experiencing live local action news in progress.
Lights, Camera, Action – the moment everybody was waiting for.
Prior to each live segment, and there were at least four taken, Fritz would gear up in a serious thought process manner before going live. It was definitely fun to watch as he is a pro - reporting for 30 years now!
Neighborhood kids are chosen to do a special holiday greeting from Brea.
We heard that there will be a holiday segment this Sunday, December 23 on NBC4 featuring Fritz’s Toys for Tots campaign stops – you’ll see the neighborhood residents of Eagle Hills shouting “Happy Holidays from Brea.”

The Old Brea Tower Records: Library, history exhibit – it’s anyone’s guess
288 days ago by bbonadmin
Tower Records closed its doors in Brea Downtown on November 6, 2006.
Unlike some cities that have numerous “ghost signs” around town, Brea’s Tower Records is practically the only one people will immediately point out, especially due to the fact that this November 9, it will be seven years since Tower Records closed in Brea. And of course its location is very visible sitting on the corner of Brea Boulevard and Birch Street in Brea Downtown.
Around 2 ½ months ago we learned from the Friends of the Brea Library Facebook fan page, that the library may occupy the space. We immediately posted the information and received an overwhelming response on Beautiful Brea Old & New (BBON) Facebook fan page. Many people favored the idea and expanded further on developing the thought. There was also a lot of brainstorming with great suggestions on what type of business would complement the vacant downtown location.
Since the majority of people who commented on BBON supported the Library plan, we have put in a call to do a follow-up to inquire if any progress has been made.
Or will “Good Old Brea” get a visit in 2005 from Russell Solomon, the founder of Tower Records, who is planning to archive the history of his Sacramento based-chain stores. "Ideally, we want to formulate an exhibit that will go to cities where Tower really had a presence," said Greig Best, executive director of the Sacramento History Foundation. A traveling Tower Records exhibit is planned to make its debut by 2015. What are the chances, though the place is still vacant and obviously ideal for the exhibit!One thing for sure, its ghostly site becomes even more noticeable every year in September and October when a Halloween store sets up shop in Brea Downtown.
We’ll keep you posted.
