Redlands was my home for 5 years before I had to move away. I miss everything about it, the friendships, the community, even the oranges. It's where I grew up, and leaving somewhere like that is never easy. Watching this video, giving me glimpses and flashbacks of my childhood made me teary, thank you for this video. Redlands will always be my home and I'll forever miss it. ❤

Overall, how is it right now? I'm thinking about getting a transfer to the Redlands location from Chicago for my work . This place seems too good to be true. Is it truly safe? Lol

[@Erikthetravelguy]

It truly is. Although I love Chicago!

[@MJP160]

Ya it a ever pretty ,I go to school in that city.

Redlands was once an amazing family centered and fiscally conservatively managed city. The democrats and Pete Aguilar have seen to it to reverse the prosperity of our city while enriching himself and his close supporters at the expense of the tax payers. This is a common theme with democrats throughout California and the nation. Call the city and ask what our collective deficit is currently. Good luck in getting a straight answer. Redland can no longer call itself a city that works. We now have become the city of Bell. Fight for what you love or it goes away.

My family first arrived in Redlands in 1926. It is now not at all what it was even up to 25 years ago. Even from 1980 to 2023 is a very completely different world. Thankfully, a lot of the old charm and character do remain.
