Can anyone tell me about San Bernardino California?

Posted on 03/02/2009 10:09:53 AM PST by mainestategop

I got a friend who used to live in the city of San Bernardino. Used to work at some kind of restaurant over there. I heard different things about SB, one that it was just some valley town that supported Bush, the other that it was a liberal sewer pit with high crime and a lot of homeless. (But that would be just about any place in Cali) What do they have over there? I've only been to Bakersfield, Lancaster, LA and San Diego.

Mentone has grown *tremendously* in the last 20 years! Used to be an itty bitty afterthought type place but is actually really nice now. Still quiet though, I’m thinking, as compared to Redlands certainly. Am I right on that?

My sister moved from Mentone to Yucaipa about 4 months ago. I love Oak Glen.

Griswold’s has changed hands/names quite a bit since it was Griswold’s. That’s where my husband and I had our first date (but it wasn’t Griswold’s at that time). Ford Park is just down the little side street there. Very pretty with rolling hills, a pond and swans (or, used to have swans).

My sister lived in Fontana, 1991-’94, and I visited her for a week. I thought it was a nice town, compared to nearby Rialto.

Why don't you try visiting Balboa Island, Pacific Palisades, Lake Arrowhead, Eureka, Mammoth Mountain, or any number of pretty places...instead of where you have been.

San Berdo....isn't on many "Must Visit" lists......I used to live right near there...so I have a bit of perspective.

FWIW-
