Why is THIS still here?! | Moseyin' to RIVERSIDE, CA! 

I live in Riverside. At the library, I overheard a rumor that the Spanish and Indians built a long tunnel from the Mission Inn all the way to MT. Rubidoux.

As a Riverside native, I thoroughly enjoyed your video and upbeat personality. You definitely hit some of my favorite places . True that about the roads and the fact that they can change names several times without you ever leaving that street. Keep up the good work!

You totally inspired us to go to the Heritage House! It was really great. Beautiful place and lovely docents.

Very cool you covered Riverside. I moved here from LA back in 1983. I have a home downtown near the mission, and mount Rubidooux. It was built in 1910, and many of the homes close by date back to the late 1800’s. It is definitely changing for the better.

I'm a lifelong resident of Riverside - when I was a kid in the 60s, that was the white Lily Tulip cup with little green leaves around the top edge!

You walked right passed Tio’s tacos. They have nice art around and more in the back. Hidden gem

Another Riversider here. I am a docent at Heritage House, and we docents have done historical cosplay (1890s clothing) there for years before cosplay was much of a thing. There is a reservation system but walk-ins are welcome. As you said, open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays 12 noon to 3:15 when the last tour begins. The house is gorgeous! In October we will be having the house themed to be a place of mourning in an exhibit called "Behind the Veil". At Christmas we go all out for a Victorian Christmas with an open house day and music and activities The "catacombs" at the Mission Inn had various purposes but a main one was to funnel customers from the train stations a few blocks away to the inn out of the weather. The proprietor, Frank Miller, was known to get on the train from San Bernardino and talk riders into stopping in Riverside to stay at the Mission Inn. After many years of neglect late in the twentieth century the inn was rescued by a millionaire named Duane Roberts, retrofitted for earthquake safety and is now again a hub of Riverside. During Christmas time the whole building and grounds are lit up by the Festival of Lights with animatronic figures and thousands of lights. As was mentioned we now have a new main library, but the old library isn't going to waste. Actor and comedian Cheech Marin has housed his large collection of Chicano art in the revamped building, now known as the The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture or simply "The Cheech". We are so lucky! It is a vibrant place.

Lived here all my life and never heard about the giant cup :) Good video, young lady! You have a good style. Keep it up

Excellent video! My daughter went to school down their at UCR and has decided to stay in Riverside for obvious reasons one being somewhat more affordable than Palo Alto. I am a tad bit jealous of their new main library and all the other new stuff the city has added. It is unrecognizable from the last time I was there in 2010.

That last post regarding ingress and egress points for Riverside was incomplete. I left out the North section of Riverside which only allows for 7 ways in or out. Those are Market Street, Main Street, Orange Street, West La Cadena, Iowa Avenue, and Mt. Vernon.

Originally the giant paper cup had the “sweetheart “ brand name on it. Thanks for doing the video. Riverside is a surprising place with some wonderful history.

I love my city!

You missed a beautiful park in Riverside called Fairmount Park and a nice amusement park with golf course called Castle Park very nice too for the whole family to enjoy.

Because of the topography of Riverside (Box Springs Mountains/Santa Ana River), the city has few ingress and egress (entering/exiting points) points! There is only Mission Boulevard, and the 60 Freeway to allow traffic to go due West toward Los Angeles or due East towards Palm Springs. And although the 91 Freeway does go West, it only does so after a slight bend South through Orange County. From the South West, there are only four ways in or out of Riverside. They are from Collett Avenue, the 91 Freeway, Magnolia Avenue, and Indiana Avenue. On the Eastern section of Riverside there are very few ingress and egress points as well. They are the 60 Freeway, the 215 Freeway, Box Springs Road, Eastridge Avenue, Alessandro Boulevard, Cactus Avenue, Van Buren Boulevard, Harley Knox Boulevard, and Cajalco Expressway! The only other ways in or out of Riverside are from either Arlington Avenue on the Central West portion of the city leading to Norco or from Van Buren Boulevard also near the Central Western approaches. Whatever the case, it appears that Riverside is in a de-facto "commuter spider web!" Traffic congestion will only increase if we cannot solve this problem! DS

The street system of Riverside is unique as the main thoroughfares like Magnolia Avenue, California Avenues and others follow the contours of the Santa Ana River. Because of this most roads do not run true north or true south.

My brother worked at Lily Tulip back in the 70's.He would always bring home over runs and damaged tubes of all kinds of paper cups.

My hometown and you miss the alley at RCC where there was a murder that police thought was link to a well known serial killer know as the Zodiac Killer.The murder of Cheri Jo Bates occurred in Riverside, California, on October 30, 1966. Also, the corner of Arlington/Magnolia was a ballpark where the Anaheim Angeles played

This episode makes me smile so much. Riverside is my hometown. Moved away 10 years ago. I knew exactly where you were every segment ive been sll those places and sorry to say .. probably took it for granted. Riverside is an amazing town and i should have enjoyed it more.

I like this story it is so amazing to see all of the history our country has. People need to know the history of their town

My hometown of Riverside yep when I was a kid in the '80s and a little bit of the '90s there was a tunnel open you will enter from the back of the hotel and you can go in the tunnel pretty far but it will take you to the rubidoux mountain but too many people found out and they closed them

Thankyou for the interesting tour! Nice place to visit if stuff is open. Lol.

5:53 *UCR Bontanical Gardens 🌱🌿🍃🌳 looks like a great place to visit.* *Great Video!*

I just moved to Riverside from Europe!😃I am slowly discovering the city and the surrounding area!Thanks! ....new sub

That giant paper (cement) cup was actually built when it was “Lilly Tulip cup corporation”. My father worked there as one of their top sales persons.

Thank you for sharing this video I loved it .

Thanks for video,born and raised,in Riverside I have been to every one of your sites,used to play in mission Inn as a kid back in the 60s as we walked to movie theater "s the Golden State ,The Fox ,the Deanza Theater,

The Mission Inn is one of my favorite places to go downtown! Great drinks at the bar and I always explore and find different hidden staircases and pathways that are so fun

The first Mexican house was built in Rubidoux. The area was named after him. That house stood where the stater brothers grocery store is on mission Blvd. He even fought in the Mexican American war.

Thank you for sharing this video about riverside California. A lot of cool history.

great job. love it. it would be cool it see some underground riverdise, i hear there are many tunnels but dont know much about them

There are catacombs below the mission and most of down town, but they sealed them up some years back due to safety concerns.

RIVERSIDE,# 1

I miss the Inland Empire, awesome video!

There is an old Victorian house off the 91 freeway at 14 st. So north of the 91 and west of 14th. It was moved there by the city to save it from demo. Also check out if not the Fox Theater and down the street is a eclectic restaurant your camera will love the place.

I was born in riverside I can give you a guide tour of everything out in downtown if you'd Ike even heck out the places that are closed

you missed the circular staircase in the mission inn. itw in the back, on the left, its beautiful.

@6:38 it’s the tallest overpass too.

So many things I didn't know about the city I grew up in, and in just the downtown area. There's a whole lot more you didn't get to, though not quite as historical. I didn't even know about the World's Largest Paper Cup until about a few months ago when I started driving past it on my way to work 😅

Julia Morgan was the architect

I was born here in 1956 and I love ❤️ Riverside. My son was born here also.I would NEVER live any where else..Tamsen Robert's

Lilly Tollup

It is a very beautiful city. Is there anyone who can help me with a work contract in this city??, Thank you

Way to crowded now .

I guess riverside is a nice city once you pass your neighbors selling drugs, and having homeless living outside your house.

It used to be where they manufactured Dixie cups you know the little paper cups you put in the bathroom. that’s a giant Dixie cup I live down to the same neighborhood. It’s right there next to Highgrove. I live in grand Terrace..
