Vandalism Strikes Redlands BMX Club Track

Vandals on electric bikes or motorbikes have damaged the newly installed track at Redlands BMX Club, after $30,000 was spent on refurbishments and two weeks of hard work by volunteers. A big shoutout to the dedicated volunteers who stepped up to restore the track and make it safe for riders again later this week.

Local Business

Good Deeds and Great Food at Bok Kitchen

"I love our community!! My husband, son and I went to Bok Kitchen for the first time tonight (the food was awesome, everyone should check it out). The man who runs it was all on his own and was working like a machine. Which as a business owner myself I completely felt for him.

I wanted to come on here to thank the 2 beautiful ladies/regular customers who helped him by cleaning up dishes, clearing tables, talking to customers and just helping a local business/business owner in need. Also to all the people there tonight who were super understanding. I love this community so much because we come together to help each other out without needing to be asked." — Chloe Maclean
