Sadly, at the end of last week, SaveNewporters began reporting that a local’s favorite, Big Belly Deli, has suddenly closed– locals say without warning.

First, I want to thank everyone.  This last election, our voices were heard.  We spent the least amount of money and got the greatest return– by far.  At 41% against an incumbent that spent $150,000.00 to buy her seat, we really showed that the public is paying attention.  The www.dumpdixon.com site was a wild success, reaching far more people than …

Remember that Sunday morning we set our clocks FORWARD by one hour, so that 2am-2:59am never even happens that day, and one minute after 1:59am turns into 3:00am Daylight savings was invented to save on energy costs, particularly in old factories.  By slightly adjusting the clock to account for the changes in the sunrise and sunset times, employers were able to save money …

We hope everyone is having a fun weekend– and Yes, even last Tuesday’s city council meeting had some fun parts in it, too.

As we know, Joe’s Crabshack closed recently with very little notice.  If you would still like to get your fix, the closest one to Newport is in their Garden Grove location, at 12011 Harbor Blvd. Garden Grove, CA 92840 (11am to 11pm) But from its ashes rises the newest “high volume, high profile” concept called GuacAmigos launched by three restaurateur brothers and …
