Quality time with family and friends - That idea is less and less attainable primarily because we don't have time to research the landscape to uncover great ideas that create great memories.

WELCOME to Southern California Magazine has been guiding families around SoCal since 1992. We are passionate about our coastal paradise and wanted to create a magazine and website that conveyed that passion, as well as provide an entertaining place to gather information. Our editors research dozens of attraction openings, beach community happenings, special events and a whole bunch of other "we gotta do that" type of things.

WELCOME Magazine is distributed in over 185 of Orange County's finest hotels, timeshare resorts and high-end apartment communities, John Wayne Airport, selected Amtrak stations and sidewalk dispensers around the Disneyland Resort. For a current list of hotels that carry WELCOME, click the link below.

Our newest addition, the WelcomeToSoCal.com Blog is a compilation of what's hot in Southern California right now. Tired of going to the same shopping mall for a little R&R? Have friends coming to stay and need something unique and different to do this weekend but don't have time to work the web? WelcomeToSoCal.com's blog to the rescue. Our Blog editors are always on the look out for new and special finds in our ongoing aversion to dreaded couch potatoism. If you have a comment or announcement about the Southern California entertainment scene you think others may want to read, email it to blog@welcomemagazine.us. Our crack editors will take a look and if it adds to the dialog, and even if it doesn't, we may post it. Something else, we're very busy writing and editing our own stuff to edit yours too, so please, check it first. Thank you...

For matters of a non-blog nature, please send your email to info@welcomemagazine.us.
