This home was right next door to where my great grand-parents lived, and their home was just liked this one reversed.
Our next stop was in Redlands, CA, where my great-grand parents lived. Their home was a beautiful two story with a root cellar. Out in back was a two or maybe three car garage and workshop. And right next door to their home was the Redlands Bowl, a wonderful community venue where outdoor concerts are held all summer long and to this day it is used frequently. I used to go over there as a youngster on my skates and had a blast roller skating all over the stage, aisles, and where ever else struck my fancy. It’s nice that the bowl is still there, even though my great-grand parents home was torn down to make way for a parking lot for the doctor’s offices on the next street. Across the street from their home was the Library, and it is still there, expanded and very nice looking.
The best in free music and Dance concerts
The history of the Redlands Bowl goes back nearly a hundred years to 1923 when Grace Stewart Mullen started the Redlands Community Music Association. She believed that music should be for everyone. Her idea to build the bowl and not charge an admission to anyone has been retained for its entire history.
The schedule now runs from late Spring to early fall, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and includes all kinds of music and dance. There is even what is called "Community Sings" prior to the main show on Tuesday evenings.
