(Bob Sirotnik) **Wednesday Gazette: September 25, 2024** Hello Riverside, and Happy Wednesday! The summer heat may still linger this week, but fall is technically here, and we’re excited to introduce something new in this Sunday’s edition. Ken is putting together a “Guide to Riverside in October”\*—a curated roundup of next month’s must-see events, new seasonal menus, and other local highlights. We’re crafting this guide with you in mind, and we want to hear from you! If you have suggestions on what we should include or any questions about Riverside this October, just hit reply and let us know. *\*That is our working title; if you've got a better idea for that, we'd love to hear about it as well.* [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/b3/b2/b3b29e3b-298e-485f-86ca-3034c21e3784/content/images/2023/12/author_banner-justin-pardee.jpg)](https://www.raincrossgazette.com/about/) --- #### [EVENTS](https://www.raincrossgazette.com/tag/education/) ## Frank Miller’s Vault: A Rare Opportunity to See Lost Treasures of the Mission Inn Some of the items on display have been hidden in storage for over forty years, offering a rare glimpse into the Inn's forgotten history.

That’s the feeling I had when I first saw the flyer for the Frank Miller’s Vault event at the Fox Theatre on September 28. The Inn embodies something special for us in Riverside. It’s a treasure saved from destruction. It’s a puzzle with no edge pieces—the more you learn about the Inn, the “mysteriouser” it gets.

(Courtesy UCR Soccer) Crosstown Showdown, Rivalry Match, Riverside Derby, Civil War—these are just a few of the names used to describe the annual soccer clash between the California Baptist University (CBU) Lancers and the University of California Riverside (UCR) Highlanders. For many years, this game was an occasional novelty. CBU played in lower divisions while UCR, able to recruit top talent, competed against higher-level teams. However, since the Lancers’ transition to NCAA Division I, they’ve quickly built a program capable of standing toe-to-toe with some of the best mid-major schools in the country. It’s safe to say there’s nothing friendly left about this rivalry. The last several matches between the Lancers and Highlanders have been intense, physical battles, featuring 30 yellow cards and no more than a single goal separating the teams in their last five meetings.

Riverside considers changes to mobile home rent stabilization ordinance Riverside's Housing and Homelessness Committee debates amendments to the city's mobile home rent stabilization ordinance, focusing on rent increase caps and tenant protections. **Driving the meeting:** The committee discusses proposed changes to the 1992 ordinance, including a 3% annual rent increase cap and new tenant notification requirements. - The proposal aims to address concerns following significant rent hikes in 2022 and 2023. **Why it matters:** Mobile home parks provide affordable housing for seniors and low-income residents, who face financial strain from rising rents and living costs. - Some residents report struggling to afford food and healthcare due to rent increases. **The big picture:** Committee members disagree on the proposed 3% cap, with alternatives ranging from 2% to 5% suggested. - Park owners argue for flexibility to cover rising operational costs. **What's next:** The committee's recommendations will be presented to the full City Council for consideration, likely in November. - Residents and park owners are encouraged to attend the council meeting to voice their opinions.
