A Walk Up The Crescent, Avalon, Catalina Island
Avalon is the only incorporated city on Santa Catalina Island of the California Channel Islands, and the southernmost city in Los Angeles County. The population was 3,728 at the 2010 census.
From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, several different developers tried to develop Avalon into a resort destination community, but most went bankrupt. In 1919, William Wrigley, Jr. gained control of Avalon. Wrigley oversaw much of the development of Avalon, including the construction of the landmark Catalina Casino.
The city remains primarily a resort community. Most of the waterfront is dominated by tourism-oriented businesses. The older parts of the town on the valley floor consist primarily of small houses and two and three-story buildings in various traditional architectural styles. Avalon attracts about 1 million visitors a year and is frequently visited by cruise ships.
The City of Avalon is oriented around Avalon Bay, with the harbor and beaches forming the center of the town's activity. The Cabrillo Mole, located at the south end of the harbor, acts both as a breakwater and the main docks for the cross-channel passenger boats. Many of the commercial businesses dedicated to serving visitors are located along the Crescent Street pedestrian mall, which runs just behind the three main beaches of Avalon Bay. The pedestrian walkway is adorned throughout with decorative pavers, fountains, palm trees, and a decorative serpentine seawall. Many of these features were introduced to Avalon during an extensive re-design undertaken by Philip K. Wrigley in 1934. Extending out into the center of the harbor is the green Pleasure Pier. The north end of the harbor is dominated by the Catalina Casino. Built in a style described as a cross between Art Deco and Mediterranean Revival, the Casino serves as Avalon's most distinctive landmark.

California Vacation April 2012 Part 1
A trip to California in April 2012.
The camera is handheld and shakey!
For Part 2
This is video of our trip to Southern California and Northern Mexico in April 2012.
We visited Disneyland, then went on a Carnival Cruise to Ensenada and back to Los Angeles. The trip was very busy. We didn't really get to rest a day, there was so much to do!
Loved it, however the weather wasn't very nice. For late April, it was cold and overcast almost all the time.
Do: Be forewarned. I thought we would see sun and be hot, but I was regretful I didn't bring a couple of warm sweaters.
Do: I did enjoy Disneyland, my first time in 20 years. Indiana Jones attraction was very fun. Try the Mint Julep Bar in the New Orleans area for some fresh Beignets. Totally amazing.
We checked out California Adventure park. Other than the water tube ride Grizzly River Run, it doesn't quite have the same magic that Disneyland has: they have no railway that encircles the park. And it seems like they haven't innovated anything. Consider that the Little Mermaid ride is almost a clone of the Haunted Mansion ride, just with less imagination. Considering that Disneyland was groundbreaking in so many ways when it was first built, you'd think they'd have some fresh ideas to lead the way for a new park. I also question why they didn't just enlarge Disneyland and make it all one park, rather than separate parks with separate admission prices and separate lineups :)
The Carnival Cruise was very good. It is very affordable. Thankfully our cruise didn't have much college party crowd on it. My only complaint would be the security to get on the cruise. They did bark at me for filming them, and spoke arrogantly to me.
The food is so good on the Carnival Cruise, that you will gain weight! I learned that an employee was getting paid $540 a month working with Carnival. No wonder everything is so cheap with such low wages? I do have some ethical problems with that. There is lots to do on Carnival Cruises. If you are having a day at sea, trust me, you won't be bored! And that is even with bad overcast windy cold weather.
Don't: The Wild Dolphin Tour on Catalina Island was not worth the price. I've been on wild dolphin cruises in Hawaii that were WAY better. This small boat simply viewed the dolphins from afar -- like very far away. It was nice, however getting onto a little boat and cruising a different perspective on the island.
Do: Rent a golf cart and tour Avalon -- totally worth it! You will see some very nice views along the way. You can arrange that yourself when you get onto the island. The golf-cart rental is maybe 1-2 blocks from the pier.

The First Court of Appeals ruled last year that filming police officers is not illegal in the United States. In addition, the TSA admits on its website that it does not prohibit the public, passengers or press from photographing, videotaping or filming at security checkpoints.

From Wikipedia:
Santa Catalina Island is a rocky island off the coast of the U.S. state of California in the Gulf of Santa Catalina. The island name is often shortened to Catalina Island or just Catalina. The island is 22 mi (35 km) long and 8 mi (13 km) across at its greatest width. The island is located about 29 mi (47 km) south-southwest of Long Beach, California. The highest point on the island is 2,097 ft (639 m) atop Mount Orizaba. Santa Catalina is part of the Channel Islands of California archipelago and lies within Los Angeles County.
Catalina was originally settled by Native Americans who called the island Pimugna or Pimu and referred to themselves as Pimugnans or Pimuvit. The first Europeans to arrive on Catalina claimed it for the Spanish Empire. Over the years, territorial claims to the island transferred to Mexico and then to the United States. During this time, the island was sporadically used for smuggling, otter hunting, and gold-digging, before successfully being developed into a tourist destination by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley, Jr. beginning in the 1920s. Since the 1970s, most of the island has been administered by the Catalina Island Conservancy.
Its total population in the 2010 census was 4,096 people, 90 percent of whom live in the island's only incorporated city, Avalon. The second center of population is the unincorporated village of Two Harbors at the island's isthmus. Development occurs also at the smaller settlements of Rancho Escondido and Middle Ranch. The remaining population is scattered over the island between the two population centers.

Vacationing on Santa Catalina Island off the coast of Long Beach, CA. Rented a golf cart (cars are uncommon on the island) and I remembered my new HTC Incredible handset, so I did like any self respecting geek and took some video.
