My latest: In Corona, the City Council is angry that a developer doubled the 19 homes they'd OK'd to 38 via ADUs. So in a rare move, the council boycotted the groundbreaking ceremony. "I couldn't believe they invited us," mayor says. https://t.co/NGgKjbtszL

My latest: Jimmy Carter and Sam Maloof crafted a friendship, from Georgia to Alta Loma. Carter once said his relationship with the famed woodworker was "almost brotherly." The former president had dinner at Maloof's home twice. https://t.co/C6600Tgn2L

What I read in March: local history books about Milford Zornes and Fairmount Park, two original tie-in novels from TV's The Prisoner and a short story collection by a science fiction master. https://t.co/VfDrcuAMOT https://t.co/CkseIrcGUY

RT @_KennyUong_: I’ll always remember this @metrolosangeles April Fools joke 😅🚈🌊

My latest: Richard Chamberlain of TV's Dr. Kildare caught the acting bug at @pomonacollege. A shy art major, he'd never acted until he was recruited for a school play. He later said: "I got a few laughs... and I was hooked." https://t.co/HX6iXOb8gt

First ankle mosquito bite of the season 🦟 😑

My latest: Watching a 1934 W.C. Fields movie, The Old Fashioned Way, at LA's Vista Theater, I hear Cucamonga cited humorously in a line of dialogue. Could it be the earliest mass media reference to Cucamonga? https://t.co/g3hCp5fDzr

My latest: Gene Hackman was born in 1930 in which San Bernardino hospital? Ramona Maternity. Nearly forgotten today, the facility had no elevator and pregnant mothers had to be carried to the second floor. The name changed in 1938 to Community Hospital. https://t.co/hSrvEEn1dZ

My latest: Route 66 museum in @CityofBarstow set to reopen Saturday under new owner. The museum, in the historic Harvey House, had abruptly shuttered last July. https://t.co/xt5YuTroH5

Vital Farms @vitalfarms

@DavidAllen909 Looks like you've got your priorities straight 😉

Before digging into my local papers, I have to read the national edition of The Vital Times! That’s the paper tucked inside the @vitalfarms egg carton. It’s eggshell-ent. https://t.co/NgygBBZE8D

My latest: Ceremony to mark the rollout of driverless electric shuttles in Riverside was unable to offer guests the promised rides. Technology failure? No: The license plates hadn't arrived. https://t.co/MVfpn4OI4U

My latest: Author, singer Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jollett) meets his bookish fans in Claremont, and most are older than his band's usual demographic. What a fun event. https://t.co/8Tt6vN1iJg

My latest: The grand jury does a deep dive into Upland potholes. The City Council responds Monday with humor and irritation. Then I produce a slightly silly column. (You could read it while listening to Pavement.) https://t.co/8EOJF1RXue

My latest: Remembering Joe Wambaugh, crime writer and Chaffey grad (high school AND college). He went out of his way to give me an interview in 2006 about his teen years in Ontario. https://t.co/DRzBj4DJum
