As it is back to school time around here, I thought to submit a report card on my hometown.
It's been six years this month that our family settled in Corona. Moving from the Cincinnati area, we didn't know what to expect. We came at a time of skyrocketing housing prices and jumped right into a faster pace of living that California can be known for.
Looking back on those times it seems so long ago. Our children were still very small so school and safety were huge considerations when choosing to settle here. We became a part of this community with little effort and haven't looked back since. It has always been our home it seems. It's a great family community with so much to offer when you slow down that faster pace.
The South Corona area of town has Crossroads Community Church as a neighbor. This 4th of July, I was able to sit in a back yard and enjoy the music and a beautiful fireworks display to celebrate the holiday. Just a few minutes from there, we can enjoy the outdoor summer concerts at Dos Lagos.
There's every sport league imaginable for families and kids to participate in year round. Museums, parks, Big League sporting events and amusement parks are all within easy reach and beaches too. I guess you can tell by now I am a fan of my hometown.
Running a small business, even in these challenging times, has been rewarding. Connecting and networking with other small business owners seems easier. I have made friends and found fellow business owners chatting at the counter of Home Depot or out in a parking lot, when they see my advertising, wanting to exchange cards and talk about their challenges.
So after six years, when friends and family from other places I have lived ask me to rate my hometown...you guessed it...I give Corona an A.
