Happening in Upland: Buffalo Wings, Baseball, and Brutal Heat
Upland residents are advised to prepare for an extended period of extreme heat this week, with temperatures forecasted to reach triple digits by the weekend. The National Weather Service encourages everyone to stay hydrated, seek air-conditioned environments, and limit outdoor activities, especially during peak heat hours, to ensure community well-being and safety.
In local development news, the former Buffalo Inn site on Route 66 is being considered for a new housing development, aiming to bring additional residential options to the area while raising discussions about local traffic and neighborhood density. Separately, authorities are investigating a public safety incident at a local ice cream shop where an individual brandished a weapon at an employee. Community members are reminded to remain vigilant as police work on the case.
On a positive note for local athletics, a Upland-based youth baseball team, the Peninsula Senior Division Little League, recently secured the Southern California championship. Their impressive performance earned them a spot in the West Regionals, with hopes of advancing to the World Series. The community also celebrates Kings Brewing Company's 10th anniversary as a local gathering spot. Additionally, the community acknowledges the passing of a long-serving educator and Upland High alumna.
Residents have an opportunity to contribute to community health with a Red Cross blood drive scheduled for Wednesday, July 29th, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on San Antonio Avenue from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
