I came up here after living in Moreno Valley 30 years. You mountain folk don't know how good you have it no matter where you live

As per usual the point has been missed. To clarify, no matter where you go in the San Bernardino range. Or any where else for that matter. Issues exist, of one kind or another. No one town is better than another, we are all mountain folk.

Wow... I guess the fire updates are too boring and the little eagles have flown so now it's snarky time! Whoo hoo!

To set the record straight, however, the woman killed for the sign was in Cedar Glen (at least the flag and the shop were). And no pun intended with the "straight" comment.

Look at nws data on upper atmospheric temp and humidity conditions and see that contrails creation follow the data. but conspiracy theorists still insist that it is a secret govt program that universally 100% of fuel industry hourly employees would have to all be in on to keep it secret.

Occams razor.......

I remember in the 80's when big bear had a big meth population. glad thats mostly evaporated. Not happy about the covid airbnb influx that skyrocketed property values and rents, but plus side is it helped lower crime(so it seems).

My dogs better than your 🐕. People please.

Come on Walkermuggz, Running Springs has a Beautiful lake, active nightlife, a good choice in places to eat and great events for people who like to get outdoors. Oh wait, that’s us.

Lmfao! Running springs has no crime. And the bears aren’t fishing. Absolutely hilarious. 👀 Bears are omnivores. They will find the easiest meal they can. And woman was killed in running springs for a FLAG!

Jet spraying? Wonder if Charlotte wears a tin foil hat?

Bear sighting on my street. In running springs. Going through all the trash. Fishing must not be that good in Deep Creek...

Charlotte I hear ya!
It was the rude, drunk tourists and the rising crime rate that got me.
I sold my house in Big Bear in 2021 when the market was red hot and moved to Running Springs.
I absolutely LOVE it here. No crime whatsoever and no tourists!
Same climate (I love the four seasons) and everyone is friendly, but if I HAVE to get down the hill it's a quick 15 minute drive.
