My mother was from Little Silver and my father from North Bergen. Are those near Mahwah, or am I thinking of Totawah? They're all the way on the other side of the country from Fullerton anyway, but if Leo Fender had decided to build electric guitars on the east coast, he probably would have done it in someplace like Rebank or Jersey City. On a good day (a real good day), Fullerton is almost as exciting as either of those two burgs. Its claim to fame is that it's Disneyland-adjacent. Being -adjacent to something is important in southern California, not unlike appending the letters "MD", "Esq", or "MW" to one's surname. Having a house being "Beverly Hills-adjacent" means big bucks in additional value when it comes time to sell. Other than Disneyland, I can't think of much else that Fullerton is adjacent to, except of course to the city of Placentia, which happens to be the west coast headquarters of Thomas' English Muffins. I think that they're from New Jersey too, thereby completing the circle.
-Eden (still pondering the concept of "SAQ" past the "Seldom Asked Questions" concept. "Silly Asian Quaaludes" is probably not it, nor might "Significant Anti-Social Qualities". Or maybe it's just an undercover version of the Strategic Air Quommand?)
