A Tale of Two Tim O'Leary's

2 weeks ago | villagenews.com | Tim Leary

| Last updated May 22, 2025 11:58pmVillage News/Lisa Boonstra photos I am now thrilled to report, sweet reader, that we two Fallbrook Tim O'Leary's – the Tall and the Small – have finally connected. It is the best time of our lives. We're both active and engaged in a lovely, little town that time forgot. Yet it is the worst of times for the vehicle of our connection – a struggling weekly newspaper. Ours is an age of wisdom and of folly, an era of belief and of uncertainty.
Shopkeeper finds a new home at The Nest

A sleepy landmark that anchors a slice of south Fallbrook has been jolted out of its slumber. The past has always pulled at me. For me, the past is a blur of beauty, curiosity, history and humanity. This odd historic property came to my attention shortly after I moved to Fallbrook in 2002. I would ponder the aging place whenever I drove by it while heading to or from our friendly village. The quirky complex of wooden, one-story buildings hugs a rectangular stretch of South Mission Road.
Proposed merger sets the stage for show of community unity

Fallbrook has long reminded me of "Fractured Fairy Tales." Our town is a bucolic backdrop of colorful characters and struggling social service providers comically set adrift in today's modern world. The popular television cartoon, which ran from 1959 to 1964, was a mainstay of my childhood. Those snippets of chaos and color taught me that life has its twists, turns and tangles. Some of our Fallbrook fractures are real. One of our significant schisms may soon heal.
Bell's journey ends at a Fallbrook church

| Last updated Feb 03, 2025 2:9pmVillage News/Tim O'Leary photos countPlease allow me, kind reader, to spin you a story of a bell's journey from a dusty garage to a station of glory. I witnessed this journey of an antique bell attaining its lofty perch. The cast-iron bell has been christened "St. Timothy," and its notes now float over Reche Road and beyond. The bell's casting and its early days remain a mystery. Thus, this tale begins here in Fallbrook a few years ago.
More than movies await at our historic Mission Theater

| Last updated Oct 27, 2024 11:8amVillage News/Tim O'Leary photos countTo me, Fallbrook is the town that time forgot. A man and his movie theater have been cast in leading roles in this unfolding tale. I marvel at how Fallbrook has retained its dreamy, rural feel even though it anchors a chunk of Southern California and is flanked by state highways and interstate freeways.
Passion for Pickleball revives writer's city mouse vs country mouse dilemma

Aug 30, 2024 | villagenews.com | Tim Leary

| Last updated Aug 30, 2024 2:43pm Village News/Tim O'Leary photos countMy passion for pickleball recently revived my internal debate over whether I should abandon my country mouse ways. Let's begin with the basics. Pickleball is a cross between tennis, ping pong and badminton. I began playing it regularly about two years ago. It is fast, fun, friendly and frustrating. It creates and cements friendships. Fitness invigorates a community. Connections strengthen it.
Writer's setting flits on the cusp of change

Aug 8, 2024 | villagenews.com | Tim Leary

It's times like these that I look to the Bible. It is 66 books crammed into one, and together they tell of life, love, loss, faith, deceit, weakness, strength, trust and lust. Ecclesiastes 3:4 says there is "A time to weep and a time to laugh. A time to mourn and a time to dance."Today's mental meanderings, kind readers, will keep us close to home – my little neighborhood to be precise. Big changes are afoot here.
Memories come alive at historic Mission Theater

Jun 27, 2024 | villagenews.com | Tim Leary

Family and friends gathered Saturday, June 8, to celebrate the life of Paul Bourque, a father, son, brother, businessman, performer, photographer, philosopher and traveler, at a favorite place, the historic Mission Theater in Fallbrook. My last missive touched on the theater as the staging of a benefit talent show titled the "Fallbrook Follies," and this episode is something of an elegy with words for a man whose memory was recently evoked at that beloved local landmark.
Follies create magical moments at Mission Theater

Jun 20, 2024 | villagenews.com | Tim Leary

Today, my dear friends, I pray you will indulge me while I spin a seat-of-the-pants yarn about a recent event at one of my favorite haunts. The place is our historic Mission Theater. The event was the June 2 Fallbrook Follies as presented by the Fallbrook Woman's Club. I was thrilled to participate in this folksy gig that sparked many a magical moment at a beloved local landmark. I'll begin with the place. Roy Moosa and his amazing family own the theater.
String of events bring life, death, healing into focus

Jun 6, 2024 | villagenews.com | Tim Leary

I pray, dear reader, that you permit me to detour from the mindless wanderings of my typical prattle. Today's fare will ponder the gift of life, the heartache of death, and the pangs of healing that follow the hurt. My week has been an emotional roller coaster. It will be tough to tell this tale with my usual allotment of ink. The week began with my publisher asking me to write about a local ministry with international ties.
