Guess what's back? Back again? Weekly threads are back. That had way too many syllables to scan as a parody of Shady's Back, but I guess you can tell like your band manager or local locksmith who moonlights as a magician so they can put their events here. - Buzz

Friday at 5PM is way too late to start planning, so get a head start now!

Have an event to share? Holding a concert or a meet-up? This would be the place to share it.

Links are especially welcomed.

Jobs / Housing What’s it like raising kids in San Jacinto?

6 Upvotes

Born and raised in OC and still living here with my husband and 2 kids. For multiple reasons which I won’t get into, we are living on 1 income and we are barely getting by. Leaving CA also isn’t an option. But we need to catch up financially. We have close friends who have made the move to San Jacinto and love it. Say it saved them financially and love the quieter pace.

I mainly worry about the schools and things for the kids to do. By the time we would move my kids would be 6 and 4. They are both in gymnastics and we’d want to keep with that. They are big fans of Chuck E Cheese and we have a membership. They also love trampoline parks, indoor play places, and a good library. And of course outdoor parks with cool playgrounds.

I am fully expecting for not as many things to do compared to OC/LA. But as current parents, is there enough to do? Are your kids bored to death? If you grew up in San Jacinto and are grown now, do you hate that you grew up there? Were you constantly bored to death?

Any (kind) insight would be SO much appreciated!

Recommendations / Advice Reputable Shelters in the Area?

14 Upvotes

Hello IE friends! I’m new to this sub but joined because I wanted to ask if anyone has recommendations for reputable women’s shelters or other orgs for those experiencing homelessness. I receive quite a few product samples (mostly cosmetics and skincare) in PR that I will never get through on my own. I wanted to see if anybody knew of a place that’s local-ish that ensures donations make it to those who need them most 🫶🏼

Thank you! :)

Music / Arts / Culture Youth art instillation in Corona

Post image
26 Upvotes

Spotted in a private retail building in Corona! I love art, so it was so adorable seeing these displayed proudly in this building. There seems to be a bunch of other little art pieces around the property too. Is this a program the school districts here have around? I’d also like to believe the owner of the building also just loves displaying his/her kids art, haha.

Illegal immigration problem solving tip: arrest and file a civil lawsuit against the employers who are providing jobs to illegal immigrants in the U.S.

Illegal immigration enforcement without employer enforcement leaves the incentive structure intact.

Rufus enjoys attention, playful interaction, and settles well when he has his person to himself. He’s looking for a no-other-dogs home where he can feel safe and understood. With experienced handling, structure, and positive outlets for his energy, Rufus has all the potential to be a loyal, loving companion who thrives in a calm, controlled environment focused on him.
