Fontana, CA | Yes. The Segerstroms had been farming in the area since 1898, mainly lima beans. SCP is built over some of their former beanfirlds. It was their project.

| That reminds me. Costa Mesa (Coastal Tableland) has been known by a number of names over the years:
Paularino
Harper
Fairview
Goat Hill
Costa Mesa is home to an old adobe (Diego Sepulveda Adobe - 1900 W. Adams Blvd). It was built in the 18-teens as a way station for Fathers traveling between the Mission San Juan Capistrano and Mission San Gabriel. It's well worth a visit, although I haven't been there in 25 years.
