I came across this site, looking for bookclubs.
I too went to Newport Harbor High school and grow up in Newport
beach! I mean come on who doesn't love Newport beach!
I have a book soon to be out, May 15th 2008.

Totally LOVE the cameras!!! We try to get to
Balboa at least once a year (from Salt Lake City) and we always
stay at the Balboa Inn on the third floor with the balcony on Main
Street, so it is fun to see it on the cameras!! We always ride the
ferry ten or twelve times while we're there and almost always come
back from the island with a new painting or a wreath. Balboa is
just too GREAT for words...I hope it will always stay as special as
it is!! Thank you again for Tales of Balboa and for the cameras,
which are especially fun to look at while I look out my window at
another damn winter snow storm!!!

Balboa Blvd. was "Central Ave." early on, and
didn't become "Balboa Blvd." until in the later 1940's. I used to
live on the blvd, when it was one lane each way and just after they
took out the railroad tracks from the center. Wonderful old
fishing town. Your pictures make me homesick. But thank you so
much for them.

Jim, sure enjoyed the tour thru your site as I
spent many wonderful days on the peninsula and still work there at
times. I'm just finishing a documentary and educational dvd on the
origins and history of surf music as I was a drummer in one of the
early groups that played at the Rendezvous and would be interested
in finding a nice spot to do a show this summer featuring members
of different famous surf groups. I didn't know if the little park
next to Balboa Pier would accomadate an audience of 300 to 500
people. If you have any ideas, would really appreciate them.Thank
you, Bob Colwell.

there. Please feel free to view them at

have wonderful memories of Balboa, spending many
summers there. My church also had their camp (MarCasa) at the end
of main street. I think my best memories of my life are my
children, my wedding and Balboa Island. I always hoped I would
live there in retirement.

Hi Southern Cal ~
My name is Bob Rohrer and i moved from southern Cal. in 97 to the
land of ice and snow, (Minnesota). And to tell the truth, I'd like
to have my surfboard back and to smell the ocean, the pier, and the
sea and ski oil we use to put on our bods as we were burning in the
New Port Beach sun. But for now that's history. You know, times
change.
Thank you for this Web Cam site. It's the best thing to being in
New Port Beach which is close to my hart ( Can't forget Huntington
Beach either).
Thank you again for the ongoing memories on this Tales Of Balboa
site.
