11: Newport Nuggets: Three Short Stories Lost to History

Newport Beach history is littered with fun, weird, amazing and/or
mindboggling stories that are too thin to make into an entire
episode, but too good to pass up. In "Newport Nuggets: Three
Short Stories Lost to History," we explores a trio of tales from
the early part of the 20th Century:
 Newport Beach's first doctor and the Spanish Flu
pandemic.

The summer camp on Little Balboa Island for orphans and children
whose parents couldn't take care or them. The popular retreat
lasted 30 years (1914-1944).

The would-be (and massive) religious colony, Melrose Mesa, planned
for the West Newport bluffs near present-day Hoag Hospital. 
And why it didn't have a prayer at succeeding.
