July In Corona

A Message from the Editor One the Great things about living In Corona is you get the best of two worlds. On one hand you have the modern Corona with high-tech business, new upscale shopping and retail centers, and new state-of-the-art entertainment facilities.

On the other hand though, you still can find the charm of yester-year In Corona. Nothing beats Corona at Fourth of July with a parade down main street, flags flying, kids being pulled in wagons and neighbors laughing and having a good time. It stirs up warm feelings of summers past, eating watermelon, running in sprinklers, and playing tag. The Fourth of July In Corona looks like something you would see in a Norman Rockwell painting and is about as American as apple pie.

I would encourage everyone as we are celebrating over the Fourth of July holiday to take a moment to remember those both past and present that fought so that we have this opportunity to celebrate our freedom in this country and here In Corona.

I would also encourage everyone to save some gas, stay off the over-crowded freeways, and enjoy all of the funtastic family events In Corona! Visit our Community Calendar to learn more.


July In Corona

In Corona Fun Fact
Did you know nestled in the Costco shopping plaza on McKinley, Corona has it's own Fine Art Gallery? NCH (Nancy's County Hearts) has a fine art gallery in the rear of the store with paintings by world-renowned artists such as Cao Yong, Susan Rios, Vadik Suljakov, just to name a few!

The paintings are incredible and if you are looking for that special piece of art that will have your guests talking, this is the place. Even if you are not currently in the market for fine art we suggest you stop by and take a moment to appreciate the detail of these works of art.

Fine Dining In Corona
Napa 29 brings Fine Dining to Corona and sets the bar for casual elegance in our city. To find this caliber of dining you used to have to travel to LA, San Francisco, or the Napa wine country but now you can experience this level of excellence right here In Corona.

The atmosphere in Napa 29 is soothing with a feel of a fine dining restaurant that you would find driving along route 29 through the Napa Valley. There is a bar area serving light snacks and their Corona favorite fish tacos. The dining area has a warm feeling with high booths to make your dinner intimate. On Friday and Saturday nights they have live music. On the night my wife and I visited they had light jazz being played at just the right level through our meal.

The quality of the food was incredible and you could instantly taste the difference that sets Napa 29 apart from other restaurants. We enjoyed a scallop appetizer that melted in our mouths. We also enjoyed a cranberry pecan salad that was delicious. Some of Napa 29's favorite entree's include Potato Wrapped Halibut, Peppercorn Steak, and Macadamia Nut Crusted Sea Bass. The portions are of good size and we wished we had left room for dessert.

The staff was attentive but not overly attentive. They were knowledgeable of their menu and helped us in the selection of our meal. All courses arrived hot and right on time. Drinks and bread were kept full throughout the dinner.

After our meal Manger. Alfred Katopodis, took us on a tour of the restaurant. The first thing we noticed was a clean, well organized kitchen with only a small freezer and a very large refrigerator. Napa 29 brings their food in fresh several times throughout the week and you can taste the difference.

The large wine cellar you see as you enter the restaurant is well stocked floor to ceiling with up to 600 of the best wines of the Napa Valley and kept at a constant 55 to 57 degrees. Napa 29 offers wine tasting, corking parties, and has separate banquet rooms for receptions and corporate events.

We can not say enough about the wonderful experience we had at Napa 29 and we would highly suggest Napa 29 for that special evening out. To learn more about Napa 29 and to get a map to the restaurant please visit out Fine Dining page at InCorona.com Fine Dining.

Dining In Corona - BRAVA STYLE
Recently on a girls night out, my son and I found ourselves home alone. Being guys, we knew exactly what to do. We hopped in the car and went down to Blockbuster and picked up the latest action movie. We then decided to grab some nachos at our favorite Mexican restaurant Salsa Brava.

The young lady asked if we wanted our nachos "Brava Style". Once again, being guys, we said "Sure, Bring It On"!

I first noticed something was different when I grabbed the bag off the counter and it felt like I was picking up a 5-pound sack of potatoes and not a container of Nachos. When we got home and opened up the Nachos a gleam came to our eyes as we gazed upon layer after layer of chips, cheese, meats, more meats, even more meats, beans, guacamole, and sour cream. Being the men we are, we now had a mission to eat the Mount Everest of Nachos. We made it through about 2 layers before we knew the Nachos had beaten us. The taste was so delicious it was hard to stop.

We shared our Brava Style Nachos with the girls when they returned, and they loved them but still could not finish what we had left. We now get Brava Style Nachos on nights when we have guests over, the kids are entertaining, or when we share them as a family of four.
Brava Style Nachos have got to be the "Best Nachos in the World" and you can't beat the value. Visit the Salsa Brava page at Mexican Foods to learn more and to print your own Salsa Brava coupon!

Temescal Canyon Road Construction and Closure

Each year during the rainy season the Bedford Wash fills and floods the low points of Temescal Canyon Road. The water can quickly rise and be dangerous for cars and trucks. As South Corona grows this problem will only be compounded with all of the new homes and business in the Dos Lagos area. The City of Corona, Riverside Supervisor John Tavagilone and the Dos Lagos Development Group have banded together to correct this problem.

The Temescal Canyon Road will be closed South of Cajalco and North of Weirick from Monday November 28th until Monday, January 9th. This is to allow for the for construction of the four lane Bedford Wash Bridge. During this time all traffic will be rerouted onto the 15 Freeeway.

This joint effort project is scheduled to be completed by January 9th 2006 but this date may fluctuate some with weather or unforeseen factors. Hopefully our new 4 lane bridge entering into the divided streets of Dos Lagos with beautiful majestic oaks down the center will be complete by the first hard rainfall.

Any questions may be directed to the construction hotline at (951) 279-3060 or see the Dos Lagos web site at www.doslagos.net .

PRADO DAM - HISTORY CANNOT BE REWRITTEN

HISTORY CANNOT BE REWRITTEN

There is a move afoot in Congress (H.R. 1152) to change the name of Prado Dam to the Victor V. Veysey Dam. It is sponsored by Congressman Ken Calvert to honor his father's friend.
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN

The Prado Dam has existed for nearly 65 years and was named for the frontier town called Prado, once located in the basin behind the dam. Prado is important because:
  • The area was inhabited for centuries, first by the Gabrielene Indians, then by Spanish settlers of Rancho El Rincon and then by American Farmers.
  • The Butterfield stage stopped at Prado.
  • Besides homes, significant structures in Prado included a railroad depot, a post office, a school house, a hotel, a general store and a garage.
  • Three hundred citizens called Prado home.

If you agree, please contact Congressman Calvert:
E-mail to www.housw.gov/writerep/
Call 951-784-4300 (Riverside office)
Call 202-225-1986 (Washington, D.C. office)

Free 411 Telephone Directory Service

Hi,

We recently ran across a great money saver that we would like to share with you. A new service, 1-800-Free-411, offers free directory assistance to all callers. This service not only gives you the number but will connect you for free.

No more 75 cents every time you need to 411 directory assistance. You can use this service in your car so that you don't have to fumble for numbers or a quick call ahead to save gas. 1-800-free-411 will also give you the last number you looked up just by hitting the #9 key when you call them back.

We highly recommend adding them to your speed dial for quick access!

What's the catch, after you give them the name and city to look up you listen to a brief 15-20 seconds commercial. Sometimes this may even be an offer related to the number you are looking up.
Example: you call for a number for your local pizza restaurant and the commercial tells you about a $2 off special another pizza restaurant is offering and offers to connect you immediately if you hit the number 5.

So far we have found this to be a really cool service and a great way to save some change. Give it a try today at 1-800-Free-411 (1-800-373-3411).

Please forward this email to all of your frugal friends and don't forget to visit www.incorona.com !

Thanks,

The InCorona Team
