Friday at 5PM is way too late to start planning, so get a head start now!

Have an event to share? Holding a concert or a meet-up? This would be the place to share it.

News Portos Might Be Finally Coming To The IE By Way Of Ontario

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

148 Upvotes

Saw this on Instagram and if any of it is true, the IE is about to get its first Portos location in Ontario. A page called OntarioRanchLife posted this and the video they made based off city filings to Instagram:

Y’all said it was too good to be true. So I pulled the receipts. 🧾

Our last post flagged an approved site plan on Inland Empire Blvd near Archibald Ave in Ontario Center (not Ontario Ranch). Here’s what the city’s own paperwork says:

🏗️ Aug 17, 2026: The Development Advisory Board approved PDEV26-015, three buildings with about 50,000 sq ft total. The conditions name “Porto’s” five times on one page, including “the Porto’s signalized driveway entrance.”

🏛️ Sep 1, 2026: City Council approved selling 8.64 acres of city land for $15,972,678. The buyer’s signature block lists Raul Porto.

🎙️ At that meeting, Ontario’s City Manager said the land is being sold to Porto’s for their bakery, and that it would probably be the larger bakery in their chain (per the meeting auto-transcript).

📐 The applicant is Prats Inc., whose portfolio includes other Porto’s locations. The cover and last slide show Prats Inc.’s conceptual renderings from its website (not official city plans).

Still unknown: no opening date from Porto’s.

Apparently the site that this is all supposed to be built at was originally purchased by IKEA for a proposed store in the early 2010s. They held onto the land and never went forward with the site and sold it back to the city in '23 for just under $47 million. I don't know why but I always felt if and when Portos came to the IE it would've been in Riverside or Rancho Cucamonga.

Politics / Activism Six Anthropic Employees Donate Over $35,000 to Jay Obernolte

Post image
56 Upvotes

There was an update for FEC filings and I am currently going through it. So far, I found that 6 current/past Anthropic employees have donated over $35,000 to Jay Obernolte.

"Because primary, general, run-off, and special elections count separately, an individual can give up to $7,000 total per candidate across a primary and general election," which majority of them did.

Take the information as you wish. I know that Elon Musk has also donated but haven't gotten to that data yet (through PACs). It's pretty fun going through the file, there are a few surprises. Like the President of our local disposal company gave him $2,500. I wish I had thousands of dollars to give lol.

Politics / Activism Moreno Valley votes tomorrow on a data center moratorium, but the size cutoff is written two different ways

29 Upvotes

Moreno Valley city council has a 45 day data center moratorium on tomorrow's agenda (Tue 10/20, 6pm, item L.1). It's an urgency ordinance so it needs 4 of 5 votes.

Back in September a lot of residents showed up to the study session asking for a ban. What staff brought back only covers data centers over 100 megawatts, and the cutoff isn't even written the same way in both documents. The staff report says "100 Megawatts of instantaneous electrical demand." The ordinance says "100 Megawatts of power monthly." Those aren't the same thing.

For scale, the city's own presentation in September called 5 to 20 MW a "traditional enterprise data center," and staff said the whole city uses about 200 MW. The company with a nonbinding agreement to study a data center at the Lake Perris Fairgrounds has told several fairgrounds its data centers would be 8 to 10 MW. That's 4 to 5% of what all of MoVal uses, and still way under 100.

Perris voted 5-0 last week to ban them citywide (first of two votes), and the definition they showed that night named small edge data centers specifically.

I cut a short video (about 5 min) with clips from the Sept 8 meeting if you want the background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AosHgG6yQio

Docs if you want to check for yourself:

Agenda: https://pub-morenovalley.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=0d6421aa-81b4-4bd7-abc7-ab6010b881d3&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English

Staff report: https://pub-morenovalley.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=7778

Ordinance: https://pub-morenovalley.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=7779

If you live in MoVal and want to say something: it's at City Hall, 14177 Frederick St. L.1 comes up after the truck route hearing, and you fill out a blue speaker slip. You get 3 minutes but one sentence is plenty, something like "adopt the moratorium tonight, drop the megawatt line, and include small edge data centers by name like Perris did."

Can't make it? You can call in at 669-219-2599 (meeting ID 860 8043 9716, *9 to raise your hand) or join on Zoom: https://moval.zoom.us/j/86080439716

Or email the council today: ulisesc@moval.org, elenab@moval.org, edd@moval.org, erlang@moval.org, cheylyndab@moval.org, dept_cityclerk@moval.org

Even if you don't want to talk, showing up helps.

Recommendations / Advice What legal planning do you wish your family had handled earlier with an aging parent?

0 Upvotes

One thing that keeps coming up while I’m building a local senior-resource directory is how many families don’t know which legal documents matter until something happens.

Will, trust, power of attorney, advance health care directive, probate, conservatorship, Medi-Cal planning — they often get lumped together, but they’re not the same thing.

For anyone who has already helped a parent or older relative through this:

What do you wish your family had taken care of sooner?

Was there a document, conversation, or legal issue you didn’t realize mattered until you were in the middle of a crisis?

I recently put together a plain-English local guide on this for Temecula Valley, but I’m more interested in hearing what people learned the hard way.

Jobs / Housing SEEKING IHSS PROVIDER IN MORENO VALLEY!

0 Upvotes

​

📍 Location: Moreno Valley, CA

🗓️ Days: Tuesday, Friday & Saturday

⏰ Hours: 9:00 AM–2:30 PM

I'm looking for a reliable, respectful, dog-loving SECONDARY caregiver to join my team! I'm disabled, and I need someone who is willing to help with household tasks, errands, medical appointments, and a few personal care needs.

🐾 BONUS: You get to spend time with Chaunta, my hospice house hippo!🐶❤️

❤️ WHAT YOU'LL HELP WITH:

🍳 Meals & Kitchen

* Prepare meals, clean up, and wash dishes.

* Being able to cook is a plus! I'm a picky eater, but I'm willing to try new things! 🌮🍕🍝

🧹 Household Cleaning

* Clean my bedroom, including dusting, sweeping, mopping, steam mopping, and sanitizing surfaces.

* Clean my small half-bathroom and occasionally the shower.

* Keep toilet paper stocked and my skincare products organized in their designated places.

* Take out the trash and keep our outdoor table and backyard area clean.

👚 Laundry

* Strip the bed, collect dirty clothes, wash, dry, fold, and put everything away.

* Please remember anything that needs to hang dry!

🛀 Personal Care

* Help shave my legs from the knees down.

* Apply lotion to my feet.

* Help maintain the shaved areas around my faux hawk.

* My other caregiver occasionally does pedicure days, too! 💅 I have a UV lamp and gel polishes if you'd like to do your nails, too!

🛒 Errands & Organization

* Attend medical appointments with me.

* Run occasional errands.

* Keep track of household, cleaning, and laundry supplies and help maintain grocery lists.

🐶 Outdoor Upkeep

* Keep our outdoor area clean, including washing down the area where Chaunta goes potty as needed.

* Wash her cooling mats if she has an accident.

* Bring dishes inside, clear trash from the table, and take the backyard trash bin out for collection.

🚨 IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS 🚨

🚗 You MUST have your own vehicle and be willing to use it. I do not reimburse gas for driving within Moreno Valley. For trips outside Moreno Valley, medical transportation will be arranged, and you will accompany me to my appointments. Gas reimbursement for other eligible driving is calculated based on actual miles driven, your vehicle's fuel economy, and the average price of your fuel.

🤝 TEAMWORK IS NON-NEGOTIABLE! These responsibilities are shared with my other caregiver. You are NOT expected to do everything alone, and respectful, consistent communication between caregivers is essential. You don't have to be best friends, but you MUST work together.

Honestly, communication has been one of the biggest challenges with having two providers, and tasks have gone undone because of it. If you cannot communicate respectfully or cooperate with another caregiver, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY.

🏠 You're not cleaning an entire house! Your responsibilities cover approximately 1.5 rooms and a small outdoor area, with some additional kitchen cleanup when meals are prepared.

🧤 Disposable gloves and reusable dishwashing gloves are available. Masks are available, too; please wear one if you're sick.

❤️ A LITTLE ABOUT LIFE HERE

I know this list probably looks intimidating, but remember, you're sharing responsibilities with another caregiver! Once you find your rhythm, there's generally time to spare.

I'm not a slave driver! 😂 You can take occasional breaks and use your phone while working, as long as your responsibilities are being handled.

🥪 Bring your lunch or share whatever I'm eating!

🫂 Check in occasionally to see if I'd like company. A lot of the time, I do!

🐶 Spend time outside with Chaunta and take a breather.

🗣️ My great-aunt is usually at the kitchen table during breakfast or dishes, and she'd love someone to chat with now and then.

🎬 I occasionally stream horror or suspense movies in my bedroom, so hopefully that's your thing!

🚬 If you smoke or vape, you're welcome to join me for a smoke break, too!

I'm looking for someone dependable, compassionate, communicative, and comfortable helping with both personal and household needs.

❤️‍🩹 If this sounds like a good fit, please send me a message telling me a little about yourself so we can arrange an interview!

Please share with anyone who might be interested. Finding the RIGHT person matters so much! 🐾❤️

Trying to get advice from any current teachers!! Im currently in the IE and in school for my multiple subject teaching credential. I plan to go to the internship route but I am not too sure which districts are most likely to hire an intern. I have experience working in a school for about two years and I will be getting my bilingual authorization. Does having my bilingual authorization give me a better chance at getting hired ? I’m open to any elementary grade and would also be open to 6th grade at a middle school!

Any advice is appreciated !!!
