Take Credit for Heritage Restorations

For a long time heritage properties suffered from a bum rap. Investors were reluctant to purchase a piece of the past because of the cost of dragging it into the present. Fortunately, in the last few decades, older properties have been rightfully recognized for their beauty and historical value and have become a hot commodity. Yes, there is often work to be done on heritage buildings, but there are also financial incentives for restoring these properties to their former glory. After all, restorations create employment and the finished product is culturally significant, making it a draw for tourism and improving the quality of a neighborhood over all.

Mission Viejo Shoots Itself

No one knows and loves your hometown like you do. No one, that is, except other people in your hometown. That’s why the city of Mission Viejo has been giving out cameras to residents for months and asking them to capture the best of what their town has to offer. Though they probably could have hired professional photographers or slick ad agencies to create this kind of documentation, the creative public photo-shoot is a resonant way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this planned SoCal community.
