Grand Ave, Part II. The Real History behind the stories.
One thing is for sure...You can drive on Grand Ave in Corona and no matter how many red light signals you hit, or how fast or slow you go, you always end up at the same place you wasz....The street is a 3 mile circle around the city center built in at time when all they had were measuring sticks....Today as then, hundreds of historic homes lined both sides of the street and memories of a time when over 100,000 people stood at its woodened curbs to watch an historic race....The only one of its kind in the world, built long before the Riverside International Speedway, Ontario, or present day California Speedway, Corona's Grand Ave, was for a time, and briefly at that, a Mecca of the auto racing world.

Grand Blvd in Corona was built in 1896 as a one of a kind road for a one of a kind city, Corona....Known as the Circle City, the City Fathers of Corona envisioned there city as the crossroads of the Inland Empire.....and they wanted something that would remind citizens around the area of that image, so they hired an Anaheim Engineer by the name of Kellogg, to build the perfect round road, and he did.
Grand Blvd is a perfect circle, built at a time when there were no helicopters or airplanes to survey the area, it was all done by trianglezation of Longitude and Horizontal lines on the maps of the time....He succeeded in building a perfect circle, exactly 3 miles round, measured by driven cars for measurement.
