O.C. Register gets new Anaheim address

Orange County Register ^ | April 24, 2017 | Jonathan Lansner

What’s in an address?

Saying “625 North Grand Avenue” in Orange County doesn’t sound the same as saying “Times Square” in my native New York City.

But the Orange County Register has left the storied address it called home in Santa Ana for 60 years – and the paper was based in the city for a total of 112 years. New place? A modest headquarters location just south of Angel Stadium in Anaheim.

SoCal Ping!



Attention Southern Californians

From the old:


To the new:


Please ping me with any Southern California related articles. Thank you!

If you want on or off this ping list, please FReepmail me.

Selling the old property and moving to a new location had to be a business decision based on declining revenue. Orange County is slowing changing with illegals slowly taking over. I doubt if many of them read the Register. Funny as the Register has welcomed the change to their own demise.

Does a single resident of Santa Ana speak English?

I would be willing to bet no (same in both languages).

[JohnnyP]

I used to take the Register. About forty years ago.

You would lose that bet. There is a very affluent area of Santa Ana called Floral Park, located between Bristol and Main, south of Main Place Mall. Turn off 17th, with all its Hispanic street vendors and Spanish language storefronts, into the neighborhood and you will swear you're in Beverly Hills. Virtually all the residents speak English there. Few if any speak Spanish at all.

There is another neighborhood close by there where one of my vendors lives. They're white too, as are most if there neighbors. Santa Ana is ninety percent first or second generation Mexican, but that does not mean there are no English speakers there.

The Register didn’t just welcome their demise, they actively set about insuring it. They went from a relatively Conservative publication to a mediocre liberal rag that went out of it’s way to celebrate illegals and publish articles designed to invoke sympathy for their self made problems.

Color me surprised — thanks for the interesting info.

“Does a single resident of Santa Ana speak English?

Demographics for Texas and California show Hispanics at about 37%.

Most Hispanics in BOTH Texas and California are native born.

The ‘Platinum Triangle’ section of Anaheim near Angel Stadium.

That area, and the Resort District around Disneyland are fighting Anaheim’s slide into being one more SoCal city filled with aging, overcrowded, illegal alien infested neighborhoods.

The same problem once confined to Santa Ana that now afflicts large portions of north Orange County, thanks to the Bush idiot who opposed Prop 187 and broadcast his desire to grant amnesty to the 3rd world’s millions of lawbreakers, and his amnesty loving twin Obama.

Nothing short of mass deportation of the million foreign nationals illegally living in SoCal is going to make the slightest difference, wall or no wall.

[Pelham]

Floral Park is tiny.

[SoCal Pubbie]

No doubt your post reflects the realities of the demographics. However, many residents of Santa Ana (though not most) are older, and came to this country between say 1970 and today. A person coming in the their twenties in the mid to late 1970s would be in their late fifties or early sixties now (I turned 20 in 1977). Many of these folks would likely speak little or no English. Their kids, however even if they’re gangbangers, speak decent English to one degree or another.

My earlier post was meant to show that there are still non-Spanish speaking people living in Santa Ana. I could certainly find many English speaking Hispanics too.

[SoCal Pubbie]

So, the bet was to find ONE English speaker in Santa Ana.

You would be hard pressed to see any Spanish language signs in Santa Ana’s part of the South Coast Metro area (south of Dyer Road).

The units next to my office building has rent in the $3000 per month range for an one bedroom apartment and the vast majority of them are English speakers.

[BunnySlippers]

To be fair, not many people read PAPERS anymore.

[Pelham]

Well that’s true.

[freedumb2003]

OK, it is only 72% who speak Spanish. What was I thinking??

>>So, the bet was to find ONE English speaker in Santa Ana.<<

You win the bet. As I posted above, Santa Ana has a massive 17% English speaking population and a tiny 72% sliver who speak Spanish.

I guess you showed me that my underlying point just wasn’t supported by the facts.

[truth_seeker]

Many speakers of Spanish in California also speak English.

In fact many speak English with no accent.

Is it your goal to disrespect ALL Hispanic people?

I don’t want to do that, because many hold similar values, and may help elect conservatives.

Every vote counts.

[SoCal Pubbie]

I simply wrote you’d lose the bet. And you would have. I also wrote that Santa Ana is overwhelmingly Hispanic, and commented on the older residents there would speak little or no English.

That being said, I don’t believe that only 17% of Santa Ana residents are capable of speaking English. I do believe that only 17% speak English as a first language, or do so on a daily basis.
