Comments on: 4th Of July 2009 Info For Newport Beach & The Balboa Peninsula http://daggle.com/4th-july-2009-info-newport-beach-balboa-peninsula-801 Danny Sullivan's Personal Blog Wed, 16 May 2012 21:15:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Eric Vogt http://daggle.com/4th-july-2009-info-newport-beach-balboa-peninsula-801/comment-page-1#comment-23451 Eric Vogt Sat, 03 Jul 2010 17:42:33 +0000 http://daggle.com/?p=801#comment-23451 Hi, I live in Riverside, have been frequenting Balboa Beach for many years, usually doing the RV things for two or three days at a time. You did a helluva job providing information on this site, know that it is viewed and really appreciated by people. I've viewed our fireworks display at Mt. Rubidoux for years, it's time for a change. I want to go either to Balboa or Dana Point, after seeing that Balboa/Newport has no public FW display, I guess it's gonna be Dana Point, you might offer that on your site, that DP seems to be offering a decent display, I'm sure you can find links to that info. If you ever see a guy riding a blue bike with a loud car horn on it, that'll be me, grin. Again, thanx for the great info, have a great 4th you and yours, Eric in Riverside.

Be aware of the total douchebag cops who will spot someone for drinking on a patio and ask them to come talk to them on the otherside of the wall hoping they will forget to put down their beverage of choice before stepping out. Basically if you are on your patio and cop wants to talk to you, ask him to come to you and don't move. Oh, and be aware that there will be plenty of cops not in uniform who will more the gladly put any offenders under citizens arrest until an on-duty cop shows up. God, I hate Newport...

If you live here, going out to the beach or enjoying the excitement of all the people isn't a problem. For those coming from out of town, I agree -- I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. The key exception is if you rent a house. Plenty of people do, and that solves all the transportation issues. Yeah, I probably focused too much on the negative.

Takes me back to my days in Laguna Beach. My question would be, after reading that helpful list of everything that is now forbidden and everything that rolls up into a nonstop hassle, is: Why bother?
