March 14, 2011 by Heidi Franklin
A fun thing to do on the weekends in Corona is to visit Tom’s Farms. Tom’s Farms is located off the 15 freeway, south of the 91 freeway at the Temescal Canyon exit. Founded in 1972 as a fruit stand, Tom’s Farms has expanded over the years. There’s something for everyone! There is live music on Saturdays and Sundays (seasonal) from 12:30 until 5:00 next to the pond where you can sit down and relax. You may see ducks and other birds. Many weekends, there is a craft fair every 3rd weekend of the month, rides for the kids and a Magic Show from 10-2:00. You can also have a party there! There are a few restaurants to choose from and you may even get a free lunch on your birthday. I have tried all of their restaurants. The food is good! You don’t have to go out of town to have a good time in Corona. Just go to Tom’s Farms.

Riverside Goes Wireless
August 2, 2008 by Heidi Franklin
Riverside and AT&T are partnering to provide wireless access to the Internet. The service is currently available at the Auto Mall Area, the Downtown Area and Orange Terrace. The initiative is rolling out in phases as the necessary network equipment gets installed around Riverside.
There are several service plans available– a FREE service, called attmetrofree, with advertising intended for general usage, a PAID service targeted at business and other users who want higher performance (faster data speed) and less advertising, called AT&T Metro WiFi.
To connect to the FREE wireless network, users will select the “attmetrofree” network ID when searching available wireless networks on their computer. “attmetrofree” is the free, ad-based service. Once connected, users will open their browser and see a registration page where they are asked to register. Users will only need to register once, the first time they log on. On subsequent visits, users will be instantly connected to the Internet.
SmartRiverside will be presenting training sessions for connecting to the new Riverside WiFi network.
- Wednesday – August 13 at La Sierra Park
- Wednesday – August 27 at Nichols Park
