Happy Wednesday, Chino!
I moved to Chino to be closer to nature, but one thing I did not expect was that nature would also be close to me. I feel like I’ve seen so many dead birds in Chino that I never saw in the city. Never fails to still give me that mini panic.
me when i see yet another dead animal on the sidewalk
If you’re like me, well, we’re in good hands — the Animal Resource Center of the Inland Empire recently opened and you can call them for assistance! We called and they were there promptly the next day. Thank you ARC!
As always, we have an action-packed issue just for you.
Let’s get into it.
Here are some things that happened around us, in 60 seconds or less:
(I know this has been getting longer, cuz we’re getting better at finding news. Maybe we keep growing the list but keep saying “60 seconds” and all of Chino become speed readers?)

🍁 Chino Hills fall recreation guide is live!
🐂 Did you hear about the bull that… went to school?! There was a sudden bull appearance in Jurupa Valley School but these teens lassoed him in!! See the amazing video here.
🏈 High school football season is starting! Who will you root for? The Chino Hills Huskies, Chino Cowboys, Ayala Bulldogs, Don Lugo Conquistadores, or the Ontario Knights?
(don’t worry, this section isn’t sponsored. you’ll always know when something is sponsored.)
🍔 This week, the Ultimate Burger Smackdown returns for our second candidate, Kenwood’s Kitchen & Tap (see their menu here)! We’re on the search for Chino & co.’s best burger around.
I know I should’ve gotten the regular burger to give Farmer Boys (our first candidate) a proper comparison, but I had the Chino Chew company card and I couldn’t resist 🤣 So I got the Bourbon Bacon Blues Burger - bacon jam, bacon, blue cheese, garlic aioli, and grilled onion. I think it was around $18.
The burger patties were juicy and cooked slightly over medium, and the bourbon bacon jam added a sweet savory taste that really was nice with the punchy blue cheese. BUT some parts of bacon were rock hard and overcooked, which was not great. Fries were standard.
Final verdict: 4/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑. Post on IG coming soon.
