A landmark day for me occurred when I looked up at the "Shop Chino Hills First!" sign and thought to myself how dramatically improved that message became with the grand opening of the first 36 stores of The Shoppes. Another 30 will gradually come on line along with the major restaurants: PF Changs, CPK, and Yardhouse all opening around the weekend of June 14th. Parking will improve gra

I have shared several Graham family chapters in the past and thought it's time for an update on our 22 year old son serving his 2nd tour in Iraq. Brett decided that his job in Iraq was too boring and got transferred into one much more dangerous. So, instead of hanging out with the division command staff, he is now a squad leader of a "Quick Response Force", who responds when another Am

OPINION: Citizens should make their needs known
I really care about Chino Hills and the people that live here. A few years ago, a group of residents wanted to get decent Internet service in town. There was none. So along with the City Council, we rallied around a good idea, rattled the cages of the big companies who saw us as nothing more than a dot on the map, and we made things happen as a group. We are people who care about our community and who are willing to do something about thing >>

Information on SCEs Tehachapi Renewables Transmission Project (TRTP)
We've all been reading about Southern California Edison (SCE) needing to build and activate new power transmission towers through our city. It's a big deal and I encourage everyone in Chino Hills to take the time to see if and how this may affect you. It's quite difficult to really understand exactly where these towers are to be built and how they will look, but the information is out there and I assure you it is worth understanding.
