We live in Covina in the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California.

Covina is situated about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and is well served by the Freeway network.  Within an hour we can be in the mountains or at the beach.  The usual Southern California tourist attractions of Disneyland, Universal Studios and the Queen Mary at Long Beach, are within easy reach. 

Both the residential and business districts are frequently used for movie and television filming.  Citrus Street, in downtown Covina was used in the filming of American Graffiti. 

Until the early 50's, much of the area where we live was covered with orange groves.  If you would like to learn more about the area, please check out the official web sites of the City of Covina and the adjacent City of West Covina.
