Este es Irvine, donde el mapa es la ciudad real y el recorrido se juega en sus calles reales. Los hoyos están construidos con atracciones reales, como el Bowers Museum of Cultural Art. Skip es un guía local que conoce bien estas aceras. Es una ronda rápida de 9 hoyos con un par de 25, que cubre una caminata de 3.7 millas con 2 portales para salvar las distancias.
St. John's Lutheran Church of Orange is a Gothic Revival church building. Designed by architect Frederick Eley, the structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church was founded in 1882, and the inception of the building itself was in 1914. It serves as a Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod church. The sanctuary was built in 1913-14, providing a space for worship that has been maintained for over a century. To preserve its presence in the community, the building was renovated and rededicated in 1990. You can see the specific architectural details that define the Gothic Revival style as you approach the site. This church remains an important historical landmark in the area, blending its early twentieth-century construction with its late nineteenth-century origins as a founded congregation.
The Hilberts have acquired works by Norman Rockwell and other 20th Century illustrators since 1992. This museum is located at Chapman University in Orange, California, and has grown to encompass more than 5,000 pieces in its total collection. It is a great spot to see the celebrated works of Millard Sheets, Emil Kosa Jr., Mary Blair, Phil Dike, Milford Zornes, and Rex Brandt. If you enjoy a bit of magic, you can pick out one of the largest private collections of Disney art on display throughout the galleries. I've seen a few tourists stop and stare for a long time at the Rockwells, and it is easy to see why they are so captivated. Whether you are a student at the university or just visiting the city, there is a lot of local history and artistry to see here.
Look for the specific signage of the Son Light Christian Center as you navigate the streets. This site is a movie theater that has a long history in the area, as it had its inception in 1924. For anyone visiting Irvine, it is a notable landmark that persists while the rest of the city evolves. I find that these older structures provide a grounding sense of continuity for the neighborhood. Whether you are here to play a round of CityGolf or just exploring the district on foot, noticing the architecture of a place from the early twentieth century adds a layer of character to the walk. It is a simple but effective reminder of how the use of urban space changes over many decades.
Let me show you Hart Park. This location is a park, providing a place for visitors to spend time outdoors in the city. You can pick out the green spaces that make the area what it is. I've noticed it's a pleasant spot to take a break from the pavement.
