   Secret Shopper
Battle of the Breweries
Our burb now has four micro-breweries -- BJ's, Oggi's, JT Schmids and the Tustin Brewery. We reveal which one offers the best lager and the fare to go with it.

You did WHAT to my clothes?!
We go in search of Tustin's best dry cleaner, and get an earful of horror stories in the process.

 Tough duty:  Testing food and grog.


Watermark Publishing, Inc., the parent company of Tustin Magazine, wasted no time in adding the local magazine's name to the famous blimp hangar after the sale was approved by the City of Tustin.

Tustin Approves Purchase of Blimp Hangar by Tustin Magazine

The Tustin City Council has approved purchase by Tustin Magazine of one of the blimp hangars on the former base.

"We knew we had a winner when Tustin Magazine approached us.  The blimp hangers are a Tustin icon, and we wanted to do everything we could to preserve them.  Being able to sell one of the hangers to another local icon like Tustin Magazine was just icing on the cake," one Councilman said.

Movie and Video Reviews
The Dark Knight

Like its predecessor Batman Begins, The Dark Knight demonstrates that a superhero movie can stand in its own right as a great film, not just a visualization of a beloved character.  No one will want to miss the extraordinary performance of Heath Ledger as The Joker, a chilling interpretation that was creating buzz even before the actor's death.  Except for one bad casting choice, the movie is nearly flawless in its representations of man against man and man against himself.

 

Hancock

Don't listen to what the other critics are saying, this is a very satisfying, super-hero action flick.  Go in with the right attitude and you will have a good time with Hancock.

 

WALL-EWALL-E (2008) Poster

Pixar turns out another winner.  This time is a reluctant hero robot who must save the world when all he really wants is love. 

 

Business Spotlight
Make It Fit -- A Little Shop of Horrors in Tustin

Program design Oldham Coliseum

Rule one in business is, if you make a mistake -- make it right.  A high volume tailoring business like Make It Fit in The Tustin Marketplace can be forgiven for losing a piece of clothing, but refusing to own up to that mistake is unforgivable.  We put Make It Fit to the test, and they scored an "F".  Take your clothes there at your own risk.  

Team Parker Auto Spa

Tustin once again has a carwash that allows you to relax while you get a great cleaning.  Sit back and enjoy some coffee while you cruise the Internet with the free Wi-Fi.  Drive away in clean car with no streaks or lint.  And if you are a fanatic about a clean car, get a monthly pass for $30 for unlimited washes.
