Hey, we might have been 'almost' neighbors. My first house was at Magnolia and La Palma in Anaheim. Man that was a long time ago, 1979.

Dude, I worked right in that area! Was around there a LOT!
Ah yes, Mile Square - where bodies were found under small walkway bridges and in sand bunkers on the golf course, local residents drunk tequila and fought with knives, babies ran into traffic on Warner or Brookhurst ... but you could still find some nice spots to chow.
Where else could you shoot a round of golf and a gangbanger at the same time?Dude, I worked right in that area! Was around there a LOT!

Back to oranges, tho ... ....
Last summer my family went on a ride at California Adventure - can't remember the name - but you go into a building and sit on suspended seats which take you off the ground. In front is an enormous screen showing areal views of California scenery - you feel like you're flying over these various areas. Accompanying the movie is the odor you'd expect to receive in these locations and even a fine, light mist when "flying" over water.
One sequence was the orange groves with the scent of orange.
:lookie:
It was a very Soylent Green moment.

The ride is called "Soarin' over California". They have an identical ride in Orlando, but it's just called "Soarin'". My son liked to pretend he was kicking the golfers as he flew by.

Another memory from the past ... LOL
Yes man the past is catching up to all of us, we need to move over so progress can continue and destroy all the beauty that once was.
