I Heart Costa Mesa officially launched in 2015 with the belief that our city could use a cheerleader and some well-deserved love and attention. It was to be a platform of unconditional positivity, shining a light on the best our city had to offer. So we set out to dig up all the good stories we could find – and there were plenty to choose from!
After five wonderful years of “hearting” Costa Mesa, our project has, at last, come to an end. Due to COVID-19 – and the economic and personal realities we now face – our team is officially hanging up the “hearts” to pivot into these interesting times.
We are no longer taking on new stories or interviews at this time. We do plan to archive this page for as long as is possible so future Costa Mesans might learn a little more about the five years our team covered this wonderful, diverse and storied community.
Thank you, Costa Mesa, from the bottom of our hearts. What a ride!
