Despite Riverside not having an official Turkey Trot for years, the club gathered at 7:30 a.m. Thanksgiving morning at Fairmount Park's center for their own 5K celebration. (Courtesy Riverside Road Runners/Facebook) Condron Coffee is creating a new Thanksgiving morning tradition for Riverside with the inaugural Turkey Trot 5K on Nov. 27, bringing the community together while supporting vulnerable children and families through Olive Crest. **Driving the news:** The event begins at 8 a.m. at Condron Coffee, 3696 Sunnyside Drive, with proceeds benefiting Olive Crest, a nonprofit that has served over 250,000 children and families since 1973. - "Hosting events that draw people together, especially those who might otherwise feel alone on a holiday weekend, is something that is personally very important to me," says Kristine Condron, creative director and co-owner. **Why it matters:** Olive Crest provides safe homes, counseling, and education for children facing crisis situations including homelessness, substance abuse, neglect, and trafficking. The organization maintains a 98% stability rate and serves 5,000 children and families daily across the Western United States. **By the numbers:** In Riverside and San Bernardino counties, Olive Crest provided 120,129 safe days to local families, delivered 36,971 mental health hours, and helped more than 250 children and families receive preventative housing support. **The details:** The inclusive 5K route welcomes walkers, joggers, families with strollers, and dogs. Participants are encouraged to wear festive attire for a celebratory atmosphere rather than competitive racing. - Registration costs $40 for general admission, $25 for children 12 and under, or $100 for a family pack. **What's next:** The Condrons hope to make the Turkey Trot an annual tradition, continuing as long as the community shows support and Olive Crest remains willing to partner.

[![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b3/b2/b3b29e3b-298e-485f-86ca-3034c21e3784/content/images/2025/11/RG-Feat-Image-Template-89-1.jpg)](https://www.raincrossgazette.com/grown-up-punk-rock-kids-document-their-communitys-underground-musical-legacy) Attendees view memorabilia from the Voodoo Glow Skulls and other bands at the "60 Miles East" exhibition opening at Riverside Art Museum on Thursday. The exhibit features concert posters, flyers, photographs and other artifacts from Riverside's underground music scene. (Courtesy of Riverside Art Museum) The Riverside Art Museum draws a packed crowd for the opening reception of "60 Miles East," an exhibition chronicling the city's underground punk, hardcore and ska scene from the late 1980s through early 2000s. **Driving the news:** Co-curators Ken Crawford and Zach Cordner, who attended Riverside Poly High School together in the 1990s, assembled thousands of concert photographs, flyers and memorabilia preserved by community members to document this influential chapter in Riverside's cultural history. - "These things only exist because you guys are hoarders," Crawford joked, thanking those who saved artifacts from the era. **The big picture:** The exhibition's title references Riverside's location 60 miles east of Los Angeles, a distance Crawford says was crucial to developing the local scene's distinct identity that mixed punk, metal, reggae and other genres—unlike LA's segregated micro-scenes. **Why it matters:** All-ages venues like Spanky's and the Showcase Theatre provided spaces where young people "felt they fit in," creating community for those who didn't find it elsewhere. **What's next:** Crawford announces plans to continue 60 Miles East as a platform for documenting Riverside's cultural history and calls for establishing a new all-ages venue in the city. - "Right now in this room, there's probably never going to be again collected in a single room the resources, experience, abilities to give these kids a venue," Crawford tells attendees.

Why do we call it a *glove* box? Its history dates back to before any of us were born, the late 1800’s, when cars, being open, drafty and entirely experimental, necessitated drivers wearing driving gloves for warmth. Cars also broke down all the time and AAA and the telephone did not exist, so every driver was also a mechanic. The box was literally a convenient place to store these accessories—a practical need. Today, that need is largely gone though driving gloves are making a comeback for those concerned about sun exposure and skincare. So, why do we still need a glove box? And why do most of them still have locks? They exist now primarily as a semi-secure spot for essential car documents like registration and insurance, and yes, sometimes an emergency utensil or charging cable. The lock is a nod to its past as a small safe for valuables, but more practically, it’s a way to keep sensitive documents and personal items out of sight, out of mind.
