Last Friday night the City of Fullerton had an event called Fullerton Nights. This event is pretty much like an open house for the whole downtown area. Complete with live music, food, free tours and entry to the museum. It was a night that we couldn’t pass up.
Priscilla and I decided to check it out. Mounted on my Redline 925 and Priscilla on her Ibex Trophy, we rode to Downtown Fullerton to enjoy the festivities. The city set up different check points for people to visit. They marked these places with huge spot lights, you know like the ones they use for movie premiers or when Gotham City has to call Batman…
We rode around a bit before we really made any stops. This was Priscilla’s first experience riding in traffic at night…much different from day time commuting.
We eventually landed at the Fullerton Museum. Fullerton is famous for Fender Guitars. Leo Fender started Fender Guitars right here in Downtown Fullerton. They had a great exhibit full of his famous guitars as well as some of photos of his ad work back in the 50′s.
They also had a great Dinosaur exhibit complete with bones and dino eggs!
We then rode up to the famous Fox Theater. This place is full of history. It has seen better days. People used to come to the Fox when wearing suits to watch a movie was a must.
A bunch of volunteers ended up buying the Fox from the bank. Now its going through a restoration and that evening was the first time the Fox was allowed to let the public get a view of what’s inside. This place reminds me of the Shrine Auditorium in Hollywood. The Fox has also been known to be haunted….
After the Fox, we rode up to the courthouse parking lot to mess around with the bikes. I offered Priscilla my Redline to see how she would like it.
Here’s me trying to look cool….oooh I’m such a rebel…no helmet!
If the smile didn’t give it away, Priscilla absolutely fell in love with the Redline 925….now she wants a fixie! You know that’s cool!
We ended our night with the best way we can…with some munchies! Beer and Chips!
We really had a great time that night. I totally encourage anyone to check out all the amenities your city provides, you’ll be surprised on how much fun you can have!
