September brings with it several indications that our 3500 RAMONA BLVD 100 N ATLANTIC BLVD
planet is orbiting our own star, The Sun, which, of course, 3500 RAMONA BLVD 1100 COLLEGE VIEW DR
brings us the seasons. Speaking of which, the Autumnal 1300 AVENIDA CESAR CHAVEZ 200 N GARFIELD AVE

astronomically speaking. On the Equinoxes, the sun rises 500 W ARLIGHT ST N ORANGE AVE / HERSHEY AVE
due east and sets due west, meaning both hemispheres - the 500 S GARFIELD AVE 500 N ATLANTIC BLVD

as well as the same amount of night (the term Equinox is
