The walkway bridge was removed on Sunday, and the buildings themselves will probably be finally bulldozed within the next two weeks.<br /><br />(My personal connections to the property: my mom worked there for eight years when I was a kid. Going back further, my great-grandfather's brother owned the property when it and the zoo were an orange grove.

I grew up in Cowan Heights, attended Arroyo, and later Mater Dei and remember fondly the Saddleback Inn, I think one of my mom and dad's friends and her husband owned the Men's shop there, or maybe the dress shop. I too remember the fried shrimp, Sunday brunches, and salad dressing, recipe please! Sad indeed to see how OC has been overtaken by LA degradation and with it great places like the Saddleback Inn! Oh and Frank's Hobby Shop, it was heaven for any OC kid in that time.Brianhttp://www.stylexplorers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-36248970359164115242011-06-21T18:11:54.771-07:002011-06-21T18:11:54.771-07:00How sad.

It was a very nice place and had a great coffee shop. I lived in a garden apartment on McFadden St. and paid $240 a month. It was right down the street from the late Don Drysdale's bar and restaurant, Don Drysdale's Dugout, and around the corner from the Ramada Inn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-77743286805894668732011-03-30T00:32:13.163-07:002011-03-30T00:32:13.163-07:00Hi.

I told my husband that I remember it in its fullest glory, such a beautiful and elegant place at the time. My oldest brother used to work there between '63-'81, and I remember going there and seeing the beautiful lounge and the Saddleback girl. It was all very impressive looking to a 12 year old in '72. I also remember the breaded shrimp, steaks and the salad dressing, the best ever! <br />3 days later, I was switching t.v. channels, and the first shot I saw on the news was of a burning building, it was dark already and all I could see was one corner of the building, I watched in disbelief as I recognized it, and even before the newscaster said the name of it, I knew exactly it was Saddleback Inn. Very sad indeed! I texted my brother to watch the news. My brother was very sad, remembering old times there.<br />By the way, the horrible memories some of you have, of prostitution and druggies, are from the time after the building was being used as a shelter for the homeless and they closed it down. My church, Calvary Church on Tustin Ave. was a regular sponsor to help the homeless at Saddleback Inn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-4998950066428181812011-01-25T18:39:51.449-08:002011-01-25T18:39:51.449-08:00i useee t00 live there :'(i useee t00 live there :'(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-65538124172082041542011-01-25T00:12:18.484-08:002011-01-25T00:12:18.484-08:00More on the fire:
