In Exploring Riverside’s Past, we also look back, delving into the events and people that shaped Riverside’s rich history, often drawing comparisons to life today.

A prompt to encourage your practice of creativity this week from Riversider and local author Larry Burns.
This week's creative nudge should be easier for you to find unless the squirrels have beaten you to it. It's time to go into the woods (or maybe just a community park) to gather inspiration from the fascinating world of pinecones. These intricate structures hold the seeds of future forests and provide sustenance for a variety of creatures, including our furry feral friends. Surely, they are up to the task of supporting our creative expressions for a few minutes today.
Pinecones come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures, from the long, slender cones of the Sugar Pine to the compact, prickly cones of the Ponderosa or Jeffrey Pine (the most common kind you'll find in holiday decorations). Their scales, arranged in mesmerizing spirals, offer a tactile and visual feast for the senses, inviting us to explore their patterns, textures, and hidden secrets.
