An Orange County Superior Court judge dismissed an environmental lawsuit filed by preservationists seeking to block the remodel of a Laguna Beach house.
Pacific Opera Project will end its 2021-22 'Fairytale Season' with a site-specific production of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods at Descanso Gardens, one of Southern California's premiere outdoor spaces, with six performances on July 8 to 10 and July 15 to 17, all at 7:30pm.

We think most people want to know who is suing them. So the founders of Laguna Neighbors thank Cathy Jurca for identifying herself as the founder of the Laguna Beach Historic Preservation Coalition. This was news to us. We had only been able to identify other Coalition members because Ann Christoph, Johanna Felder, Norm Grossman, Becky Jones, Barbara Metzger, Greg O’Loughlin, and Verna Rollinger signed a letter that we found on the Village Laguna website. ( A screenshot is available on request.) Those names are familiar to anyone in Laguna who cares about historic preservation as much as we do.

Why are writers so comfortable peddling untruths and false accusations about Village Laguna? Do they have higher standards for accuracy in other parts of their lives? I hope so, but I wish they would be more honest and less paranoid.
The latest example is Cara Abrahams’s letter to the editor on May 7. Here she confidently refers to the Laguna Beach Historic Preservation Coalition as Village Laguna’s “lawsuit division.” Similar speculation masquerading as fact has appeared in other letters.
That is silly. If the Coalition were Village Laguna‘s “lawsuit division,” Village Laguna would not have joined the Coalition and Preserve Orange County in a lawsuit against the City’s revised historic preservation program. These are three different groups.
