How the Inland Empire Should Aspire to Be

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Driving through old town Pasadena really brings a clear perspective on what a cool downtown should be like. With its trendy bars and friendly restaurants it’s no wonder why there’s a nightlife any day of the week. There’s a place for everyone. Cool hip bars and restaurants to laid back hidden retreats for people who wish to get away from the lime light.

This cool nightlife is what the Inland Empire is lacking. There’s no real place to go to and have a cool dining experience. Simply put, the Inland Empire just sucks. There’s nothing to do here except look at the dirt fly by your face and watch the homeless wander around like zombies in the city streets. Not an idea of a fun nightlife to me.
As old as the Inland Empire is you would think there would be cool areas where developments like old town Pasadena or the Gas Lamp District in San Diego exists, but there isn’t any such thing in the IE.

This may be due to the fact that there isn’t enough space in the Inland Empire. I have to disagree with that notion. With massive plots of dirt and vacant buildings there seems to be plenty of space. I think in the end it’s the area and the people who lived there. The Inland Empire is not known for being wealthy or abundant with trendy rich people. That’s not to say there aren’t wealthy people that live in the IE, they just go out to LA or San Diego on the weekends. If they ever start to build a cool downtown area in the IE, then they should get in contact with this Inland Empire web design company to create a site for them.

Red Light, Green Light, Yellow Light Mess in Redlands

Monday, June 30th, 2008

There’s something in the city of Redlands that needs to be addressed. It’s a problem that I’ve only seen get worse over the years. It’s not necessarily pollution or street violence, but it is irritating. The problem is street light timers. You see, on many intersections in the city, the timer seems to be way off. Giving an inordinate amount of time for driving one way verses the other.

Just last night, I was driving on Tennessee Ave towards the 10 freeway, and I’m stopped at the light at the Colton Street intersection. It was one o’ clock on a Monday morning and nobody was around. I was tired and waiting there for probably 8 minutes for the light to change to green. Which was probably about 6 minutes too long. But the problem in not simply that light. Many other lights around the city are equally as aggravating on a daily basis.

One stop light in particular, on San Bernardino Ave., has a sensor that changes the color of the light when seemingly a light breeze passes through. I always get stopped there. Even after the light has turned green, if a car is approaching from the intersecting street, it will immediately turn to yellow then red. There are several other lights just like this in the area. I don’t understand why this problem has not been addressed. It’s well-known that website design in Redlands is lacking, but does basic street light maintenance and upkeep have to be lacking as well?
