Our Forgotten and Neglected Caboose
What should become of it?
Should the city restore it, sell it, give it away or let it continue to deteriorate?
| |
|
A Gift to the City and the People of Yorba Linda
Pictured: Jerry Kolb with Mayor Mike Duvall
In 2002, the fully restored caboose, which housed the first Richard Nixon Museum, was gifted to the City and the people of Yorba Linda. Included in the gift were the 1880's mail carts that now sit beside the caboose. The City agreed to maintain both and mount the plaque next to the caboose. Neither happened.
From the time the caboose and carts arrived, volunteers in the community worked together to fully restore it. They hoped that in the future the caboose would continue to be cherished, loved and maintained. Sadly, thieves broke into the caboose, taking museum pieces and collectibles. The windows were broken and boarded up, the paint is faded and rust can now be seen. What once was a treasure has become a forgotten eyesore.
Your comments about this would be appreciated.

How to Remove Skunk Smells-Opinion
From a post on Facebook
________________________________
The best way we’ve found to remove the smell of skunk is:
1 bottle hydrogen peroxide,
1 tablespoon dish soap
1/4 cup baking soda
Sponge
Put first two in bowl, have the stinky one ready in sink and just before you sponge the mixture on add baking soda. Be VERY careful not to get it in nose or eyes. Massage through hair. Let it sit for 10 minutes before rinsing. Use your regular soap, rinse, dry. You literally can let them sleep on your bed after with no issues.

Yorba Linda Time Lapse
The videos below are listed in order from newest to oldest. Should you choose to watch them you will see that the content, presentation, and duration has grown with time. Along the way much was learned and new techniques employed. As new videos are created, it is my goal to continue this trend.
The availability of old photographs of our city is what makes these videos possible. I have pretty much "borrowed" everything currently on the internet, but will continue the search. Should anyone have old, interesting, family snapshots, home video, or photographs of Yorba Linda (and surrounding areas) and are willing to share them, please contact me at: grandspud@yahoo.com Larry
