Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

It do suck Jack Mah Brutha! But I don't think nobody a THE TOP cares much---appears it is all aboutRead More advertising now. So when dem advertiser's get a Royal Buttfull as visits, and Postings diminish, doncha know another format will be tried---'Course the OLD FORMAT worked pretty good, but that won't be coming back, because...it worked pretty good. Just like Windows 95 was THE SHIATS, and everything since has been a downgrade--Welcome to America: The Land of The Profit, where "function" don't matter much none at all...

The delete comment feature doesn't work. Sometimes you want to change wording a misspelled word. ButRead More NoOOOOOO!

I so agree, other towns will string plastic banners across busy intersections to announce communityRead More events that are taking place in there towns. Our town does not post banners, signage or anything to make everyone aware, isn't this the job of the Chamber of Commerce to promote tourism????
Roberto May 21, 2013 at 03:31 pm
I agree, I don't care for the new format. One good thing though, cyber stalkers like Shane and CarlRead More are having a tough go of it.

No cindy its just hard for your son to be the big jerk he loves to be!

It's hard to have a logical "conversation" when you can't comment (it used to beRead More "reply") another specific comment.

LER: Maybe you need to move then, Melissa Melendez is a huge part of this town and is here to stay,Read More so maybe you should get used to it or just move because it is not going to change.
Barbara Dye May 20, 2013 at 09:50 pm
These are permanent signs that were just installed 2 weeks ago. They are not going anywhere. ThereRead More are 2 at each end of Lakeland Village School and 2 on the North end of Grand. One southbound at Buena Vista.and one Northbound at Deeble Ent.

As a Grand Avenue resident, I thank you for driving the speed limit. Too many drivers do not...

Whatever the reason it is working, I drive this road twice a day everyday and drive the speed limit,Read More this morning I had some Lady riding my butt and then we came to the speed sign and she backed right off, I like it...to many people drive way to fast on this road.

I do not like the new format either :( It was WAY better before!

I don't like the new format at all.

Yes that would be cool!

I like the picture, maybe more mountains, less lake. Right now both look cut off
MLS May 16, 2013 at 10:48 am
The picture on the front page is nice, but it could be better. It is not in-focus, and the lowerRead More part of the image is cut-off and hidden by your header. Maybe search around for a clearer, more vibrant picture, and move the header down a little so that you can see the whole pic...not just the top half. Thank you for trying though. I love the Patch!
Lake Elsinore Resident May 20, 2013 at 10:35 am
Well well well the person in charge of the Lake Elsinore Police/Sheriff's Dept is a highly achievedRead More black woman and she is doing a great job for the City. The majority of personnel in the department are Hispanic which is not considered a minority in Lake Elsinore. We do need our laws to be enforced and I support officers actually doing their jobs. When an officer is not doing the job correctly that is another subject. In the case of Lake Elsinore, I have to say this officer was doing his job and a good job from what I have read.
Roberto May 16, 2013 at 10:13 am
Regardless of what you think of Blacks, Mexicans etc., the fact is being targeted by someone becauseRead More of your race is illegal just like the IRS targeting the TEA Party or any other group for that matter. This can only change through inclusion in the community and mentoring of youth. Will this solve all criminal elements? Of course not but to blame all Blacks, Mexicans or Whites is for hat a minority of La Enforcement does won't change a thing. We don't need anymore stinking laws, we need the law's on the enforced but not arbitrarily.
Jim from Wildomar May 16, 2013 at 08:53 am
This is the most raciest thing I have read in a long time. Is every black and Mexican a victim? ItRead More would seem so, get some statistics on your side. There is a much higher crime rate among blacks per capita than any other group. Political victims, what a joke.

Reverend Smith, people in Switzerland have no religious freedom. They are socialistic robotsRead More controlled by their government. And while there are accidents with guns, there are also accidents with knives, swimming pools, chemicals, medications, and dogs. Putting more regulations on law abiding citizens isn't going to prevent gun violence. Criminals will continue to purchase guns on the black market and im quite sure they could care less about gun safety. But like all liberals you'll continue to believe that a government who controls everything is best. Sad.

EVMWD water still taste like crap...Oh wait, 10% of the inflow to the Colorado river is treatedRead More sewage. Ever wonder why someone would drink water from Canyon Lake? You may make it pencil but with the 10 million dollars in LEAPS funding stolen from the stakeholders the water might have even safer than you would like us to believe.
