Alta Loma

Banyan Elementary School in Alta Loma is running a toy drive for Steven's Hope until December 7 2011.

If you donate a toy you will get a free kid's meal at the Old Spaghetti Factory and you will get a Bulldog Buck! You can donate a toy by leaving it in one of the donation boxes in the school office and in every pod.

All toys go to Steven's hope which is a great charity helping families with hospitalized children.

For nearly 25 years the "people of Thoroughbred Lane" (Near Hillside and Sapphire north of the 210 Freeway) in Rancho Cucamonga have been putting on some of the best Christmas lights displays in the Inland Empire. The light displays are usually on beginning just after Thanksgiving and stay up only until Christmas day. They light up around dark and to keep the neighborhood sane, are usually turned off by 11pm.

The scariest and most haunted house in Alta Loma is just north of Hillside, east of Hermosa Ave. in an area known as 'The Woods' of Alta Loma, only a few streets from the base of the mountain.  This haunted house story is more interesting than your average 'haunted house' story because it's not about some 100 year old home or winery, it's about a fairly new home built in 1989 and everything is verifiable.  These things all happened in the mid to late 1990's and any of the neighbors can confirm the details and the incident was actually reported in the Daily Bulletin newspaper.

Almost hidden from view, Tio's Mexican Food in Alta Loma is one of those little "hole in the wall" restaurants that is easy to miss.  Snuggled away behind the gas-station and next to the liquor store, you've probably driven past it a dozen times and never even noticed it (if you frequent the Haven / Lemon Ave area).

Excellent customer service and a well run store. Far better than the giant hardware warehouses.
