Below is just a sampling of what will be offered this summer.
California is home to many national parks and campgrounds and Corona is lucky enough to be in a great location that we can take family vacations to these beautiful get-a-ways without having to travel too far. Many of us look forward to the warm summer months so we can pack up our camping gear, RVs, and toy haulers and head out to spend some time with the ones we love most in different scenery other than our 91 freeway commute.
But after all adventures with our RVs and Toy Haulers comes the daunting task of finding a station to dump your black water, an amenity that is not found just anywhere. Continue reading…

This past weekend was the first taste of summer for me. Granted, it’s only April, but mid-eighties temperatures along with clear blue skies made relaxing poolside an excellent way to spend my day off.

I will admit, I have gotten into the habit of visiting Yogurtland [MAP] quite often, and I love it. But for this Foodie Friday, I decided to try some other places I haven’t been to as often.
For my first stop I went to BerrySweet [MAP]. Continue reading…

I’ve kept that mindset and whenever I do come across a $2 bill in tender exchange and I have a habit of folding it up nicely and slipping into a back pocket of my wallet remembering that small lesson from my grandfather.
Lately, we’ve noticed the infiltration of $2 bills in the Corona marketplace and there’s a fine explanation. The Greater Corona Valley Chamber of Commerce has initiated their $2 Tuesday initiative in which Chamber and community members are encouraged to use $2 bills when purchasing items on Tuesdays.
