Garden Grove was incorporated as a city in 1956.
It looks it.
A lot of the houses look like this little ranch number.
This is the high school auditorium that sits in their civic center.
An apartment building.

Typical channelized waterway. This one cuts through a neighborhood and appears to be ignored as much as possible.
Little gingerbread cottages with lovely yards and cute eaves, facing a busy four lane collector street.
On Chapman Avenue, a busy arterial, I saw a lone bicyclist on that rainy Friday morning.

Post office, in style.
