Hometown Buffet. You are missed.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

Yes definitely missed 👍

Well......we almost made it to Lida M. Henry Elementary School but turned left instead. But, thanks for the video. Things have changed since I lived there 53 years ago. But the railroad tracks never changed! LA Freight conductor so I've crossed Riverside Ave a few times ! Belongs to Metrolink now but we still have track rights.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

Thank you for sharing and watching, Yes made a left on sage right before Henry one of my subscribers wanted to see there old house. 👍

Foothill Blvd. (Route 66) was the main route we used to take between San Bernardino and Pasadena to visit relatives. That was before there was a highway 10.

@@Journeytoaddiction. Never buy gasoline from the new union 76 , Beyond on Riverside and Randall. The owner is corrupt and in collusion with corrupt city mafia. He builds his empire on top of the chattered dreams of poor people . Dreams that he has chattered. He thinks that he is the only one that matters.Please tell your friends to do the same. Thank you.

[@patjimenez3958]

Thank you for driving up Riverside Ave. I like that there is a old downtown.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

Your welcome, thank you for the comments.

Windy today! Cold? Sunny at least. Sorry your Jeep must still be in the shop.

I graduated from Eisenhower, Rialto, in 1979. Rialto used to be a clean, quiet town. Not so much now.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

lots of homeless now in Rialto due to so much drugs.

[@marthagomez7335]

Now the Rialto city government has become corrupt and only interested in money , a mafia. Their code enforcement are bullies, they walk into people’s property without permission and yell and disrespect. They are a waste of taxpayers money and need to be fired and replaced. They threaten and harass property owners with fines. They accept bribes from unscrupulous businesses owners.

[@stephenmartinez9355]

Just past the Rialto Downtown shopping area, there's a couple of points of interest. On the Northwest corner of 1st and Riverside is a building that used to be the Sheriff's office and jail (circa 1900). On the Southwest corner is the parking lot for Cuca's Mexican Restaurant, which was converted from an old Train Station. The tracks are still there. Just past the railroad tracks are small white cottages that used to house railroad workers. And just past that is the Old Church (now home to Rialto Historic Society) that was built in 1907. And past the Church is the Women's Club, probably dating from the 1930's, that is rented out for receptions and events. My family rented it out for a reception after my father's funeral. There are also numerous vintage houses, some of which have been converted to offices. The median with trees and flowers, is a classic design for many towns in the early 20th century. Cities of Ontrario, Upland are 2 towns in the region that have a median on Euclid Ave. I was on the Eisenhower HS cross-country team. When I trained by myself, I used to run up and down these streets. Acacia Ave. was my favorite. I would start in South Rialto, straight up Acacia to Frisbee Park (it was a lot smaller then), cross HIghland Ave., through the wash and into Rancho Verde Golf Course (which is no longer there and now the sight of tract homes).

[@Journeytoaddiction]

Wow good info, I never knew any of that thank you for sharing this. I do know frisbee park I used to play Little League baseball there.

[@marthagomez7335]

Cuca’s restaurant went belly up during the plandemic. It was the train station then it was a radiator shop for many years. Now it’s just another abandoned building.

[@SctyGrpPowers]

I just rewatched the vid you did past my old home. I've saved that one. Thanks again for doing that and for driving past other subscriber's requests. It means a lot to so many of us. Thanks so much!

When I lived in SB Rialto was just a tiny rural town. It has obviously grown up. It's a shame there is so much crime everywhere.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

[@kittitas18]

Not sure if you've tried the Fontana metrolink station. There are many people wondering that area early in the morning. You might catch some interesting interviews.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

No I haven’t, I’ll have to make my way over there and check on the people. Thank you 🙏

[@lesliemonroe1258]

Yes that little bit of downtown Rialto is a beautiful spot

[@Journeytoaddiction]

Yes nice area. 👍

[@robertbarrasa1018]

Not all real Rialto is like that there's some more there's some ghetto parts of it but of it is clean!

[@Journeytoaddiction]

The city keeps up on most parts.

[@jfs1988]

If only San Bernardino had a nice downtown like its neighbor cities.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

Yes so true, Downtown S.B used too be a nice place and kept up when I was growing up.

[@stephenmartinez9355]

there used to be an old downtown San Bernardino, but much of it was torn down to build the Central City (later Carousel) Mall. The Harris Department Store was a remnant of the old buildings that used to be in San Bernardino.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

👍

[@johnking6252]

The old downtown! Used to hang out there at the old keg&cue , long long ago. Thx. Don't like what they did to the rest of the street.

[@Journeytoaddiction]

Yes it’s not the same anymore.

[@bengreedy1088]

I wonder what they are going to do with the old Wal-Mart building.. One thing Rialto has that not many cities around them don't is undeveloped land.. The only place that has had a lot of development lately is the north side of Rialto..

[@Journeytoaddiction]

They added other stores to that building, Ross, auto zone, dds thank you for watching.

[@robertbarrasa1018]

Yeah any any other cities clean compared to San Bernardino San Bernardino is a little more ghetto!

Many of the older Rialto residents are gone. They have been replaced by lowlives from L.A. that have ruined Rialto. Rialto was a nice town, too much corruption . Not nice anymore.
