In 2013, the property owners gave Dalton's a notice to vacate the place they'd called home; the owners intended to give the aging shopping center a major facelift, and that included new tenants. The space then occupied by Dalton's would go to a Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburger. At the time, owner Marlene Raynor was unsure whether she would call it quits and give into retirement when the building's lease came up in February 2014. In the end, happily she found a new location just about a mile away on Lincoln Ave. near Walker St. that appealed to Raynor's desire to improve the neighborhood around her. Interior and exterior renovations of the building began quietly — Raynor didn't want anyone curiously wandering around the construction site and getting hurt. They opened their doors to welcome old friends and new in June. Long-time customers will be happy to know that Dalton's remains dedicated to fresh-made meals and cheerful service. My own introductory breakfast consisted of French toast (with a heavenly cinnamon swirl), eggs, and sausage. I kicked myself for not coming to Dalton's sooner; it's pretty much everyone one could wish for in a breakfast diner. Be sure to stop by Dalton's Cafe's new home at 5591 Lincoln Ave. in Cypress for a delicious fresh-made meal, friendly service, and a warm heart. French toast with cinnamon swirl, eggs, and sausage at Dalton’s Cafe, now re-opened at 5591 Lincoln Ave. in Cypress. Photo by Katie Wiedel. TUESDAY, JULY 1 Kristi Jo, 6 pm, Tantalum, 6272 E.

In 1994 the Cypress Chargers won the State Championship, and Peter earned a scholarship to the University of Nebraska to pitch for the Nebraska Huskers. Peter majored in broadcast journalism and had access to sound studios and equipment. As a hobby, he spent many late nights recording country songs. In 2000 he wrote a song titled “Brand New Wings” for the memorial service of his best friend’s little sister. After the service, many mourners asked for copies of his song. He says, “I really realized what a song can do to people. I wrote that song in fifteen minutes and it changed the outlook on something so tragic for so many people.” Peter’s past Cypress Festival shows have been lively and fun. He has a unique persona that enables him to connect with audience members. Peter says, “There is nothing like the thrill of performing live and sharing my music with others. The fun we have on stage really shines through to the audience, because it is sincere and genuine. We love what we do, and I think it shows.” Brandon credits his faith, as well as his family and friends for their love and support. “I am truly having the time of my life,” Brandon says. “It’s been an incredible ride and I am thankful for each day I have been able to live this dream. God has blessed me with a great family, amazing friends, and I have been fortunate to have met some incredible people along this journey. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I am one lucky guy!” Altar Billies With a unique blend of country, rockabilly and psychobilly, affectionately referred to as “punktry,” the local Orange County group known as The Altar Billies will rock the main stage during the 2014 Cypress Community Festival. The group trio of Michael Strand (guitar, vocals), Johnny X (upright bass) and Chuck Cummings (drums) has entertained crowds throughout Southern California for the past six years and makes another return engagement to the Festival. The group also has performed at the Orange County Fair, Orange Street Fair, Silverado Canyon Concert, the Coach House, The Observatory and Stubrik’s Steakhouse in Fullerton. CAG — Chris Anderson Group The Chris Anderson Group, also known as CAG, has delighted audiences throughout Southern California at venues such as Lucille’s BBQ, Stubrik’s in Fullerton, Taps in Brea and the Cask and Cleaver in San Dimas with its Texas style blues, soul, rock and reggae tunes. The CAG three-some of Chris Anderson, Mike Casper and Nicolas DeGaulejac have a combined total of more than 60 years in the music industry. Anderson serves as the lead singer and plays guitar. Casper plays base and provides backup vocals. DeGaulejac, new to the trio, is a drummer with a Masters degree in music and studied at the Toulouse Conservatory in France. In 2012 CAG competed against bands from all over Southern California in the Anaheim Ducks OC/LA Concert Series — and walked away with the Grand Prize.
