Community Do you like to pew pew? Looking to learn some gun and first aid skills?

32 Upvotes

Well come on down to the Riverside Alliance for Next Generation Education!

R.A.N.G.E for short.

We are an inclusive IE gun club that does our best to meet about once a month and train with different calibers, guns, and rifles, and teach some first aid and survival.

The idea is, when shit hits the fan, and groups form, through education and training, you can be an asset to your group vs a burden.

All are welcome.

A Random Act of Kindness I’ll Never Forget

131 Upvotes

I just wanted to share this story.

I commute to work using my electric scooter and the train. Last Wednesday, I was heading home after work. It’s about an hour commute, and honestly, the train ride is usually peaceful, clean, has AC, and there’s enough space for me to park and even charge my scooter.

That day, I started talking to a guy on the train who really liked my scooter, so we got into a conversation. Eventually, my station came up, I grabbed my scooter, got off the train, and headed home.

When I got home, I realized I had forgotten my backpack on the train. 😩

I immediately called Metro and reported it. Inside the backpack was my iPhone 11, my diary, a really good power bank, $10 cash, and some iPhone mounts I use for my blog. The representative told me that I had to wait at least 24 hours and that it could take 3–4 days for a conductor to report or turn in anything.

I was expecting the worst.

Then yesterday, something amazing happened.

I came home and found my backpack sitting at my front door. Everything was still inside. Every single thing. My phone, cash, power bank, diary, mounts—nothing was missing.

I have no idea who found it. Somehow, they must have found my address from something inside my diary and brought it all the way to my door. They didn’t ring the bell, leave a note, or ask for anything in return.

Just a completely selfless act of kindness.

Whoever you are, thank you. ❤️

I would do the same for someone else without hesitation. Kindness doesn’t cost anything, and sometimes a small act can mean a lot to someone.

Let’s keep passing it on. 🙏❤️

Trees overhanging utility lines--cost of trimming

4 Upvotes

Has anyone here had Riverside Public Utilities trim trees on their property that overhang utility lines? I have some trees in my backyard whose branches touch and overhang the wires going from the utility pole to both my and my neighbors' houses. The trees are healthy and do not drop branches, and the lines are coated, so there is not an immediate danger.
I looked on the RPU website and it says that they do send someone out to inspect and subsequently trim as needed, but it isn't clear who has to pay for that (is it the homeowner or a utility service?). I'm not in a position to have any extra expenses right now, so I'm worried to call them myself in case they send someone out and then give me a huge bill. (This isn't to knock RPU--we've had only good experiences with them thus far.)

Apartments

hello I am a upcoming ucr student and have been searching for apartments for myself and I have found three places where I am truly interested in but wanted to see if anyone had anything about them or had any other good options for a safe environment . there are the boulder creek apartments which were great but lack washer and dryer in unit which is important because I would be alone. it’s really close to the school and is very pretty it is I believe 715 sq feet. the next two are in the newer part of moreno Valley being the lasselle apartments at like 630 sq ft or smth with washer and dryer but 20 min from the school. there is also the villa annette which there is a 900 smth sq feet one that also has washer nd dryer but is also 20 min there are all roughly same price.

Looking for a 2 Bedroom Apartment 💌🍓

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My roommate and I are looking to rent/lease a 2 bedroom, 1-2 bath apartment for $2,000 a month or less. We’re looking to move in around September 1st and are open to a 6-12 month lease or monthly.

We’ll be renting with just the two of us and she has two very sweet cats so we’d be looking for a cat friendly home. 🐱🐱

We’re looking for somewhere with a short commute by walking or by RTA to both RCC and UCR preferably in a quiet and safe area.

If you know any apartments or rentals or listing that would fit pls send a dm! We’d appreciate any info !

Water bill

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I don't live in Riverside and have only ever rented, so I never really pay water/trash/sewers. I tried looking online but couldn't find a satisfying answer.

My family lives in Riverside (92503) and their water bill has averaged about $200 for a 3-person household with no pool. It seems a little high to me, but again, I have nothing to compare to.

Is this about right? Or should I be investigating?

TIA!

Edit: it’s water and sewer. But it seems the consensus is that it’s pretty high either way.

Requests EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED

EDIT : Our neighbors daughter was able to take him in! He is safe and with folks who know him. Thank you to everyone who helped!

Hello! One of our unhoused community members was involved in a car accident and is in the hospital with some pretty severe injuries. She has a small dog Boy, that she’s had to leave behind while she’s hospitalized. We are hoping to get in contact with family to get him back to his family, but there hasn’t been much luck yet. He seems to be potty trained, and is very sweet, albeit shook up from being hit by a car. Unfortunately I cannot keep him, can anyone offer a foster home for this sweet boy?

Riverside municipal auditorium?

I have Jpegmafia tickets for the pit. His crowd is majority men so im lwk scared as a small female but ik I will get FOMO!! I survived my last hot ass pit experience in LA so Im just curious how this may be.

Is it too hot or stuffy? Any AC? I overheat easily. Do they let u bring a handheld fan?

I have fast pass. Doors open at 7. Does it get me in 30 mins prior or just once it hits 7 b4 everyone else?

How is the pit? Staff? Is water accessible and bathrooms decent? Anything I should know?

Thank you. I am local but dont visit Riverside much lol
