[edit] Removed Nicholas Cage

I removed Nicholas Cage from the notable residents page. He sold his Newport Beach home and moved to Bel Air. Jerry Herbst, owner of Terrible Herbst casinos, gas stations, and car washes in Las Vegas now owns Cage's former home. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.1.190 (talk) 06:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Newport Beach

I visited the beaches along Balboa and Newport Bay. This is definitely the wealthiest place in America (but no evidence I found on the socio-economics to back that up). The home values are boiling over the hill, since someone (a close friend) told me a joke is "where the millionaires move to" had a response "but the billionaires pushed them out already". I've heard NBA superstar Dennis Rodman bought a beachhouse in Newport Beach and other famous African American celebrities follow him. I'm amazed the rich white majority is very cool about their neighbors, and this is what's surely a conservative homogenous county. Not really...Newport Beach has a working class neighbor, Costa Mesa...the last time I checked was 5 years ago. The news media slandered Newport Beach as the headquarters of the far-right Institute of Historic Review and the Imperial Klans Knights of America. But my friend who lives in Newport Beach said most of his neighbors happen to be 1. Jewish. 2. some are openly gay couples, and 3. consists of several nationalities. Even his upstairs neighbor is a black man married to a white woman. And downstairs is an environmentalist and volunteered for the Kerry election campaign. This is the real O.C. not portrayed on primetime TV. + 207.200.116.5 05:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Map

The new map of newport beach shows that the city is half the size as the previous map. Seems that it was made with old data and is missing the Newport Coast annexation. MarsRover 04:23, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
