  • Moving to Corona CA area-Can you help me?

    Hi Southern CA Friends!

    We are moving to the Corona area very soon.

    I was hoping to get some help in the form of suggestions, hints, etc about the area.


    One thing I am wondering about is a good place to work out or take classes in the area as far as exercise. Presently I attend a very reasonably priced club through our park district.

    Also, are there any favorite parks or trails that you like?

    And any hints about the area? Best places to shop for groceries, places of interest, etc. Fun things to do. Roads with too much traffic to avoid at certain times? Still waiting for the final word on the house we placed an offer on, but it will probably be near 15 and 91. Most likely east of 15.

    Just a little story...

    Last year we ended up on Cajalco Road, didn't "plan" on it, and had no idea where we were or where we were going. We were laughing so hard, that we would never find our way back, and even the GPS wasn't recognizing our location. Not knowing the area, we felt like we were on a road to eternity...LOL. FINALLY, we found a place to safely turn around and get back. After looking at it on a map later, we felt better about the whole adventure.


    Thanks for any help you have to offer...and don't worry. I promise not to ask you to help us move in...LOL!


    Also, if you do not want to publicly divulge where you live on the open forum,
    please Private Message me instead. Thank you.

    Ha ha--I'm pretty familiar with Cajalco Road and yeah, it can seem like a road to nowhere. Sorry I can't give you any advice on Corona, but welcome to SoCal!

        LOL not that I know of. It's a boring road, unlike Route 66, lol. Nothing on that road to speak of.

            Too bad we are not driving...we could have taken Rt 66. The east end begins in Chicago, about 8 miles from where I was born.

                Yes. I live in Goleta which is about 5 exits North from Santa Barbara.
                My oldest son lives in the Clairemont/Upland area so I visit down south frequently.

                Have a safe trip/move!

                        I feel very fortunate to live on the coast. The only bad thing about living here is the shopping sucks!! I have to go to Ventura or Santa Maria to get a Target and other good shops. It takes about an hour, so it turns out to be a full day trip.

                        But the beach is nice and the weather great!

                              Good Morning All!
                              Hoping to find someone who lives in Corona today.
                              Monday I will try to find time to call the Park District. I know I won't be there for several weeks, but just want to plan ahead for what choices I will have for exercising outside the home when I get there.
