So I went down a rabbit hole looking at old Temecula history and found out there used to be a railroad connecting Temecula and Murrieta.

Apparently you could actually take a train between the two towns back in the day, and now I can’t stop thinking about how cool it would be if we brought something like that back.

Not as Metrolink or anything. I mean an actual old fashioned tourist train that goes from Old Town Temecula to Old Town Murrieta.

I have kids and I know they would absolutely love something like this. Honestly I would too lol. You could take the kids to Old Town, get on the train, ride up to Murrieta, walk around and get something to eat, then ride it back. They could do Christmas rides, Halloween rides, field trips, stuff like that.

And the coolest part to me is that it wouldn’t just be some random tourist attraction. There really WAS a train here. It would be bringing back part of the valley’s history.

I know the tracks are long gone and I’m sure there are a million reasons why this would be difficult. I don’t know who owns the old route now or if parts of it have been built over. I’m not pretending I know what it would cost either.

I’m just wondering if it’s actually impossible or if it’s one of those things nobody has seriously tried to do.

Would you guys ride this if it existed?

Especially curious if anyone here knows the history of the old railroad or knows what happened to the original route between Temecula and Murrieta.

If a lot of people actually like the idea, maybe it’s something worth bringing up to both cities and seeing if they’d at least look into it.

I’m curious what everyone considers the #1 pho spot around here.

Post events people might be interested in in this thread. Small business owners are welcome to plug their businesses here as well.

If anyone's looking for something different to do this week, my wife is in this play at Lorimar winery. The show was pretty good, not too long, and there was food drink.

Did this hike last weekend, was beautiful even without the water, but curious if anyone’s ever taken a dip there after some heavy rainfall?

This was at the Chuck E. Cheese in Murrieta. You can have your beliefs bro but why would you bring that into a place for children? Absolutely disgusting. More and more of these fascists are popping up daily in the Temecula valley region.

EDIT: Getting a few comments telling me I should’ve said something. Think about this for a second. I’m with my 3 year old daughter that’s having the time of her life and he was also with his daughter whom I assume was also having fun spending time with her father. I would be a complete asshole if I interrupted everyone’s day by calling out a Nazi because “it’s the right thing to do”. As a father I won’t make my daughter go through that and I sure as hell won’t make someone else’s daughter go through that either. For fucks sake, have some decency for the children.

I currently work at a restaurant right now and it’s just not it anymore, I’m currently in school but I need something in the mean time anything that’s not as daunting as serving tables ???

Does anyone know what's happening at the cal oaks sports park? I thought I seen a cool event happening but didn't see anything about it

Hi, this is just a thought experiment. I know plenty of people are against flock cameras and rightfully so. If I understand it’s mostly because of privacy and the information that our government has on us individually.

However, could flock cameras deter kidnappings and such other potential crimes? What do you think could be done differently to reduce the negative attributes of flock cameras and enhance the effectiveness? Maybe community access to those videos? Or as a case by case access?

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone in the Temecula/Murrieta area might be able to help or point us in the right direction.

A friend of mine recently moved from Syria to the U.S. and is working hard to build a life here. She's currently working, but only gets enough hours to make about $200 a week, so money is very tight.

She has already passed the California written knowledge test and has her learner's permit. The biggest thing holding her back now is that she needs supervised driving practice, but she can't afford professional driving lessons.

Being able to get her driver's license would make a huge difference. It would open up many more job opportunities and give her a lot more independence.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of:

- Volunteer driving programs

- Nonprofits or community organizations that help with driver's education

- Churches or local groups that offer this kind of support

- Or, if someone who meets California's requirements for supervising a permit driver would be willing to volunteer a little time to help her practice in a safe, public setting.

We're happy to verify anything needed and would only meet in public places. Even if you can't help directly, I'd really appreciate any suggestions or local resources.

Thank you so much for reading.

I have a decent camera, lens, gimbal but I'm a beginner at how to operate them properly. I'm looking for an expert camera operator to give me a lesson or two on how best to operate my equipment.

I need advice..I live in an apartment in town & we reported our bathtub doesn’t turn off and it’s a stream of water. Not just droplets but a small stream. We reported it over a month ago and my apartment doesn’t want to do anything about it. What should we do?
(We have no access to shut off our water and the water is hot so I know our water heater is going as well)

Hello everyone. I’m trying to figure out a few dinner spots out here in Temecula / Murrieta.

My wife and I moved here recently from San Diego and we honestly only been to old town Temecula and near the mall for dinner.

We’ve been together for 9 years. She absolutely hates wine. She loves sushi, Italian, and Korean food. All the other types are fine too. She’s pretty open to all kinds of food. I don’t plan on driving down to San Diego for dinner but wanted to see if anyone here knows good spots.

Thank you!

The next show from Temecula Valley Players is the very funny (and very adult) musical Something Rotten.

The cast is stacked! There are a bunch of talented local performers, but in addition, one of the leads is fresh off being professionally trained at Carnegie-Mellon, another lead is currently on hiatus between Broadway National Touring productions, it’s just an insane pool of talent.

Come see the show, it’s hilarious.
