No photos, but the Orleans that I remember from visiting rellies (around Fallingbrook) was big houses on swirly-curly streets that my parents often got lost on (something like 6 turns from then Hwy-17, to drive several kilometres, but cover no more than 600m as the crow flies, but then, which 6 turns...?!? domestic disturbance ensues in the front seats).

I remember that there were almost no trees in that area except around the "falling brook" itself, and it was kinda like the downtown heat island effect: the summer temperatures were always a couple of degrees warmer than at home in relatively-leafy Alta Vista (luckily it seemed like everyone had backyard pools and thriving berry patches to raid).
