Happening in Upland: Sneaky Politics and Hot Air
<p>Dive into the "City of Gracious Living" with Mark and Joleen as they unpack a week of political sleight-of-hand and high-tech surveillance in Upland. This episode breaks down the local outrage surrounding a "sneaky" 25% rent hike for mobile home residents, the Upland Police Department's latest drone deployments, and the $210 million infrastructure backlog leaving residents' tires at risk. We also explore the surprisingly elegant Persian-Italian fusion at Giuseppe's Restaurant, the early start of UUSD's summer assignments, and a look at the Inland Empire's aggressive real estate market where median prices are as volatile as the weather. From Upland Pride and the Grim Readers book club to a blistering 90-degree heatwave, we cover the headlines, the headaches, and the community highlights that keep this city moving--all while waiting for the next pothole to swallow our sanity.</p>

Happening in Upland: Upside Down Wings and Cocaine K-9s
<p>Join hosts Joleen and Mark for the June 16, 2026, edition of Happening in Upland, where the city's promise of "Gracious Living" is put to the test by a week of high-flying chaos and high-stakes crime. In this episode, we break down the latest headlines, from a Cessna flipping over at Cable Airport to a K-9 hero sniffing out 66 pounds of cocaine during a routine traffic stop. We provide a balanced look at the local landscape, checking in on the $32 million lottery winner at Circle K, the reality of $850,000 home prices for the Class of 2026, and the hidden gems like 2nd Avenue Saloon that make the heat bearable. Between Foothill Boulevard construction updates and a Father's Day weather forecast that might actually stay under 80 degrees, we offer a witty, slightly edgy, yet informative guide to navigating life in the Inland Empire. Tune in for the news you need and the cynicism you crave as we explore why Upland remains a beautiful, expensive, and unpredictable mess.</p>

We dive into the $855k median home price, the "permanent" orange cones on Foothill Boulevard, and why Upland is becoming the capital of high-stakes MMA toddlers and beige Hawaiian BBQ. From cynical takes on city council meetings to the 1-in-34 chance of package theft, join us as we explore the fine line between suburban bliss and perpetual irritation in the heart of the Inland Empire.</p>
