Sunday Gazette: January 25, 2026
Hello Riverside, and Happy Sunday! The weekend's winding down, but there's still time to enjoy it. If you're feeling a bit anxious about Monday, try this: step outside for a walk, prep something simple for tomorrow (lunch, your outfit, or a quick to-do list), move your body with some light yoga or stretching, or create a cozy evening doing something you enjoy. You've got this.
See you tomorrow!
🧡

A series by Anthony Solorzano exploring Riverside through the eyes of a transplant, as the memory of a hometown slowly fades.

Sometimes all I want is a burrito. But where are all the good spots in Riverside? I turned to Reddit to ask the question and was overwhelmed with answers. I settled for Taco Bell.
Sometimes I am too tired to cook for myself. In Pomona, I had a rolodex of reliable quick bites that never disappointed. (If you're under 30, take a moment to look that word up.) A hamburger spot, which I already found a substitute for, a pizza spot and a few taco spots were my choice of poison.
When I moved to Riverside, I didn't realize I was going to become a restaurant free agent - but here I am salivating over a computer and thinking of what my next meal will be.
This week’s creative nudge typically reaches your attention with a sound.
Drip. …drip. ……drip.
You guessed it…a dripping faucet. Easily one of the most effective ways to make a perfectly reasonable person unreasonable. It’s been a method of punishment that predates indoor plumbing. It’s not loud enough to demand action, not destructive enough to justify a crisis, but persistent enough to burrow into your nervous system. It’s the sonic equivalent of someone tapping you on the shoulder and then pretending they didn’t do it.
Correction: In Thursday, Jan. 23's story about candidates' positions on the Riverside Transmission Reliability Project at the La Sierra forum, we incorrectly attributed a quote about community safety and underground transmission costs to Oz Puerta. The quote "Here's the bottom line, even if it does cost more money, the safety of our community is worth that money" was said by Luis Hernandez, a candidate in Ward 6. The correction has been made and we apologize for the error.
