My latest: Asian American leaders reflect on history, civics in the Inland Empire. Says @Jocelyn_Yow: "1 in 10 residents identify as Asian American. AAPI is the fastest-growing group in the IE.” Yet she is one of only a handful of AAPI elected officials. https://t.co/3uz2AwVuBJ

Unlike In-N-Out, @GustavoArellano is NOT overrated

L.A. Times Guild 🦅 @latguild

Congratulations to @latimes columnist @GustavoArellano, a finalist for the 2024 @PulitzerPrizes for commentary! We are proud to be your colleagues today and every day.

What I read in April: Mysteries by Rex Stout, John Dunning and Ray Bradbury, interviews by Denis Brian and a tie-in novel to TV's "The Prisoner." https://t.co/S1ff5RiMwr https://t.co/YnDexos04A

My latest: Lots of intrigue in San Bernardino. The City Council hears about Treasure Ortiz's $2M claim and, to make progress on hiring a city manager, goes around Mayor Helen Tran. Also, several individuals claim to speak for "the community." Enjoy! https://t.co/nq0wH28J8s

My latest: At the Ramona Bowl, a 1940s fresco (overseen by famed painter Milford Zornes) has been uncovered for the first time in decades and restored. The 16-by-18-foot fresco can be seen by anyone attending "Ramona," now through May 12. https://t.co/Vw2VBOnvQR

My latest: A quick tour of the @lacountyfair offers a glimpse of what to expect this year. The fair starts Friday evening! Also: Elsewhere in Pomona, the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon was commemorated Sunday. https://t.co/hDwX5cVHEV

AT THE DENTIST Hygienist, entering room cheerfully: Is anything in your mouth causing pain or discomfort? Me: Not yet. That’s where you come in!

ODE TO AN UNANSWERED CALL Who'd be calling from Placentia? They will find me in absentia

My latest: Developer invests $8 million to resurrect two vintage buildings in downtown @CityofOntario, a Bank of Italy branch (1923) and former bike shop (1912), for new uses. "Everyone said it couldn't be done," developer Alex Baroian says, beaming. https://t.co/ZWrz6g6pK7

My latest: A family of geese feels at home near (honk!) San Bernardino City Hall. They swim in the reflecting pool and nest atop an elevator shaft. https://t.co/knQVAaRX14

My latest: San Bernardino council member Treasure Ortiz alleges police illegally ran her name through criminal databases and sought to sway the 2024 election. She's filed a legal claim seeking $2 million. Others push back. https://t.co/jCZ91bWpiP

My latest: Carlos Cortés has been at the forefront of cultural diversity for decades, including advising the Dora the Explorer creators. Now the retired prof, 91, is donating his archives to @UCRiverside ... that is, once he assembles it all. https://t.co/vdUzgXfdQV

My latest: Pomona pride as @CityofPomona will be first-time Olympic venue in 2028 at @Fairplex. "We look forward to welcoming athletes and spectators from all over the world,” says mayor. https://t.co/bycpeLMqWu

My latest: Stories from Riverside's Eastside barrio are showcased at @TheCheechCenter in a new exhibit, "Hecho en Park Avenue." In researching community figures, the local artists came away inspired. https://t.co/WHM2FlT1qo

My latest: New York-style bagels out in Twentynine Palms? NYC transplant Richard Lee started baking during the pandemic under the business name 29 Loaves. Says Lee: "I don't know how I went from tech to baking, but it's very exciting." https://t.co/JBvFMRKdWS

My latest: P-E journalists of the '70s recall Dennis McDougal, who started his career in Riverside before going off to LA and the bestseller lists. Also: more items from around the IE, including a couple from Pomona on "The Amazing Race." https://t.co/ClIEzsCTvi

My latest: Val Kilmer performed his Citizen Twain one-man show in Ontario in 2013. The show was a hit, but Chaffey High's theater director found the actor as difficult as his reputation in Hollywood. Whatever you do, don't make eye contact with him! https://t.co/MXhGATnM96
