Farmers Markets Have a Long History in Riverside

Savarin — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:18:02 -0500

Riverside is silly with farmers markets, and one of the oldest and maybe best known is Doi’s, near Magnolia and Polk [where: 3740 Polk Street, Riverside, CA 92505]. Their location used to be part of the family nursery and family farm (150 acres!) that’s since been sold off for development.

The Doi’s Farmers Market remains as a testament to the tradition of Asian growers who have worked the California land for generations. And the market satisfies! Fresh fruits and vegetables and even some specialties keep ‘em comin’ back for more. You can’t get your minimum daily requirements without a trip to Doi’s.

They’re open most days from 9am-4pm. Call for more information at 951-359-6843.

Any good BBQ in Chino or Surrounding Areas

NeedBBQ — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:55:02 -0500

I thought about asking ‘What’s the best BBQ in Chino?’ but then I thought I better ask if there is any good BBQ in Chino. Like most BBQ lovers, I can’t stand anything that’s not great.

I have seen Mr. Berry’s BBC while driving around. It is located near my work in an industrial area – which is appealing. But I just read a review about Mr. Berry’s that listed some pros and cons (more cons than pros though). I want to get some more opinions on Mr. Berry’s and other BBQ joints that are worth checking out.

BBQ joints I have heard of :
Mr. Berry's BBQ
5670 Schaefer Ave, Chino, CA 91710
909- 902-5222

Bad Bob's
3210 Chino Ave, Chino Hills, CA 91709
909-591-8470

Blake’s Place
Though I can’t find an address

Like I said, I hate bad BBQ so I need more information before I shell out the cash.

Galleria at Tyler in Palm Desert

dahlia — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:06:14 -0500

If Palm Desert happens to give you a day of rain or gloom (I know, not likely) check out the Galleria at Tyler Mall. This mall has a little something for everyone and devoted shoppers from all over the Inland Empire head here to pass a rainy day or stock up on their favorite fashions.

Three major department stores anchor this mall - JC Penney, Macy's and Nordstrom. And in between are shoe stores galore, children's apparel, women's stores like Forever 21, Ann Taylor and stores for guys and gals alike - Guess, Abercrombie & Fitch, and the Gap. Housewares, jewelry stores and sports stores round out the selction.

My personal fave: Nordstrom. It's one of those stores that always offers a unique find for yourself or someone else.

So check out the Galleria at Tyler Mall and shop til you drop!

Where is a good Happy Hour in Redlands

Reagan B — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 11:44:10 -0500

I just moved to the area and am curious where a good happy hour spot in Redlands is? I looked on citysearch and they had no information for Redlands. I would love a local opinion.

A Google search yielded a couple spots - but I don't know if they are any good:

Mikan Teppen Sushi Lounge
[where: 345 W. Pearl Ave, Redlands, CA 92374]
909-798-6300
Happy Hour
Monday-Friday, 4pm-7pm

The Boileroom
[where: 345 Fifth Street, Redlands, CA 92373]
909-792-8855
Happy Hour
Daily
4 pm - 7 pm

I read about three other places that sounded like good nightlife spots: Taylors Cocktail Lounge, Flamingo and Vault Martini Bar & Grill. Are these any good? And more importantly, do they have good happy hours?

Choose University of California – Riverside

hubbuzz — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 10:06:19 -0500

What you should know about University of California – Riverside
If you are in the know, you call the university UCR for short. UCR is the most ethnically and economically diverse of all the 10 UC campuses. The campus is located 3 miles east of downtown Riverside and has 81 majors and 52 minors to offer. The school is an average size – about 15,000 undergrads and 2,000 graduate students. UCR has a strong sense of community, a beautiful campus with 40-acres of unique plant-life, four miles of walking trails, small class sizes and is close to everything. See where UCR is located in relation to popular bars and restaurants, fitness centers and cultural attractions. University of California – Riverside is the white pin point on the east side of downtown. Check out the Riverside neighborhood map here.

Where to live?
It is said that about half of students live off-campus. Check out Riverside Apartments – to search for your future digs. Hubbuzz.com has about 20 apartments to choose from. See where these apartments are located in relation to campus, and all the hotspots on the maps tab.

Where to study?
Let’s face it – you’re at college to get an education right? Then finding a place to study is key. There’s always the main library on campus, but we suggest Back to the Grind. It’s a great little independent gourmet coffee shop. It’s a great place to study and well…be seen and hang out with friends (that’s the other reason you love college, right?)

Where to get away from the books!
With all that hard work, you’re going to need a break. May we suggest the Getaway Café for starters. It is a campus favorite as it is open late, has bar games, a plethora of food and drink options and has outside seating.

If your in the mood to break free of campus, and want to enjoy a fresh brew, head to Riverside Brewing Company. With fresh brewed beers on tap and delish food, you can’t go wrong here. They have everything from wood-fired pizza to burgers and steaks.

If you are feeling a little sassier, we suggest Club Sevilla. Dance your heart out at a free Salsa lesson on Thursday night (we thought you’d like that). They’ve got drink specials and dance parties on a nightly.

Let’s not forget we are in Southern California here. Within a short drive you can also reach, shopping at Tyler Mall, surfing, and major attractions such as Anaheim Stadium, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and the Staples Center.

What’s not to love about this place?

Thierry Sokoudjou loses in two rounds to Lyoto Machida

antonia — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 15:01:30 -0500

Last night I watched UFC 79, Nemesis. The second fight of the night was between the African Assassin, Thierry Sokoudjou and Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida.

Thierry Sokoudjou is a spitting image of the Predator. He actually wore a Predator mask during his entrance, which was unnecessary, because the likeness is already daunting. Sokoudjou’s thighs are as big as tree trunks. When he is not training at Team Quest South in Temecula, he is apparently training in the jungle.

Based on looks alone, it seemed he would handle Machida, from Brazil. However, Machida has secured victories over former UFC Middleweight champion Rich Franklin and former UFC Welterweight champion B.J. Penn. Half way through round two he had Sokoudjou in an arm triangle, and added the African Assassin to his list of impressive defeats.

Though full of quirks, Temecula is basically a quaint and quiet town. It is interesting to think that someone who goes by the moniker African Assassin may roam in Old Town Temecula from time to time. I read in a Yahoo sports article that Sokoudjou’s parent’s don’t know about his blossoming fighting career. They think Thierry is hitting the books, in a San Diego college, not breaking faces in the octagon.
