    These seats aren't taken
    Chiante M.

    When you stare at the computer monitor for most of your workday, you need to take a time out, go for a stroll and transport your spirit. Sometimes, I rove about in this mecca of downtown bars, cafés, restaurants, boutiques and end up here at Fullerton Downtown Plaza. The emptiness and quietude is what willingly draws me close. There isn't much to this strip other than a small museum, a couple of churches, a parking structure, a park and a pavilion area with some benches. At different moments of the day, you might find students, workers, transients, soccer mommies, nannies, pet walkers, artists, skaters, smokers or photographers passing through here. It's one of the more mellow sides of DTF; a place in the middle of it all where you can either take a breather or just use as a bridge to somewhere else (keep in mind, not literally a bridge).

    Had a great meal!! Our waiter was super friendly, welcoming, and very informative about the menu…read moreand customization options. We loved being able to get a combo of the sausage and meatball mozzarella appetizer to try both. The mix of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta paired nicely with the meats. The Rosa pasta was creamy and flavorful, though the pasta was slightly overcooked for our preference. The Pasta Gianni had a well-balanced oil-based sauce, and the shrimp and mushrooms added great flavor. Generous portions, great service, and plenty of menu options. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

    This place is a hidden gem of the city. It's a small hole in the way that opens at 5 pm daily and…read morecan have a wait-list. Here are the cons of this place: 1. Small spacing Pros: 1. It's very intimate, great for a date 2. The menu has a little of everything. 3. The staff is knowledgeable and can tell you what they recommend as in if anything you usually gets changes from ingredients to how it's made. 4. They got a killer offer on week days. **Tuesdays: Half off pasta on the second order! Look try this place out. Impress your partner. Pro move: leave your card with the server without them knowing so the bill is paid before they try to fight you to pay the bill. I always getting the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken but my wife won't budge from their lasagna.

    Every university has its quirky superstitions…read more The Fallen David, located east of Pollak Library and north of the Education classroom building, is a broken marble copy of Michelangelo's David which was destroyed during an '87 quake and given to the university by Forest Lawn cemetery. The artistic message in placing it on campus seems to be that everything is impermanent. Each piece is supposedly strategically placed with his groin facing down, rear-end up in the air. Supposedly there's a local superstition that students receive good luck on tests rubbing a butt piece clockwise or counterclockwise, but truthfully I think the only people spreading this notion are campus tour guides. Still it's funny walking by on your way to class and see some hipsters having a drum circle or reading while sitting on that supposedly lucky piece.

    It is beyond me why such a nice statue has not been repaired as of yet. And as for the students…read more"rubbing its butt" for good luck on their exams, they could certainly continue to do so if the statue was to be properly repaired, so what's the problem? In fact, if this statue does possess such a power, then certainly it would very much appreciate being repaired and thus give you even better results on your exams as a way of thanking you for fixing it up. So come on you guys. Fix that statue and make your campus look its best!

    Fallen David - SUPPOSEDLY, you'll have good luck on a test if you rub this crucial piece beforehand.

    I love the city of Fullerton!…read more I'm a new resident here. Prior to that, I would always go to downtown Fullerton for the fun festivities! Downtown Fullerton offers lots of eateries, shopping and things to do. It seems like there is a strong sense of community here. Most people seem nice and friendly. Sure, there are some that aren't. You will find that anywhere though. The parking situation is a nightmare at downtown. You can never find parking. I have noticed many of the roads and sidewalks need to be repaired. It seems like the city is older and could be maintained better. I do like the splashes of architecture you will find throughout Fullerton. It's a pretty city.

    Hey, I just went through an inspection for the third time with a city inspector, and honestly, it's…read morebeen a frustrating experience. It's really disheartening to see such poor professionalism and lack of knowledge from these guys. The inspector failed me the first time because he claimed he didn't see proof of the sheathing inspection for my roof, even though everything is available online. It just doesn't make any sense. I had to go in person to try and clear things up, but instead, they just rescheduled the inspection again. Then the inspector showed up a week later. Luckily, I got there before he left because he was already preparing a note saying I failed the inspection again. I caught him on it and questioned him, and to make a long story short, he kept trying to fail me without any valid reason. In the end, he had no choice but to sign off and pass the inspection. The inspector's name is Noah, and he's the supervisor. I'm not sure what his problem was, but as a supervisor, he definitely needs more training and professionalism. It's disappointing and honestly a waste of time dealing with this kind of behavior when I'm just trying to get things done right.
