Together with Radiant Face Aesthetics
I have a question for you.
Earlier this year we hosted a Dinner Club — where you took a quiz about yourself and got matched with 4-5 other locals to share a dinner table. We had 5 different restaurants host folks, and then after dinner, all of the tables around town met up at a bar for a combined afterparty.
the first inaugural crew of The Chino Chew Dinner Club
But I’ll be honest. The conversation & company shared was great, but the logistics itself was a disaster. The booking was handled by a coordination firm not in the IE, so they had chosen these kind of shoddy restaurants that locals actually are not excited to go to (no shade to said restaurants). I as the organizer tried to tell them, but the booking tool actually didn’t allow me to choose the places manually…
So some folks got sent to less than exciting places for dinner, and The Chew personally covered some of their meal costs to make up for it.
But they just updated their tool. The Chew can now better control where dinner reservations happen, and we can now purposely choose places that folks are excited to try.
And a lot of you love our in-person events, and have asked for our next one.
So, the question is: do we want to bring dinner club back??
If we had a monthly-ish dinner club, would you attend?
Let me know your thoughts. With 91708 expanding quickly (fastest in the nation, as a matter of fact), I think it’s a great way to make new friends in the area.
Let’s get into it.
✨ Better Skin, From Within
With summer heat in full swing, if your skin is starting to feel a little thinner, looser, or just not as firm as it used to, Radiant Face Aesthetics has a treatment that focuses less on adding volume and more on improving the skin itself.
Hyperdilute Radiesse is a collagen biostimulator designed to encourage your body to produce more of its own collagen over time. Rather than working like a traditional filler, it targets skin quality — helping improve crepe-y skin, laxity, fine lines, texture, and overall firmness and elasticity.
It can be used in areas that don’t always get as much attention, including the neck, décolleté, upper arms, abdomen, above the knees, and other areas where skin has become thin or lax.
The results develop gradually as new collagen forms, making it a nice option for anyone looking for a subtle, natural-looking improvement rather than an overnight change.
Every person’s skin is different, so Radiant Face Aesthetics recommends an in-person consultation to see whether Hyperdilute Radiesse makes sense for your goals. Chat with Nicole about your skin goals!
And if you’re already stopping by Aspire, BrowBiz Studio is right down the hall. Paige offers brow laminations, waxing, and tinting, plus full body waxing for those looking to take care of a little more than their brows while they’re there. Consider it one less beauty appointment to make somewhere else.

The Digest
Euclid Avenue is officially changing hands. The City of Chino now controls a 6.3-mile stretch of the roadway between the 71 Freeway and Riverside Drive, after the California Transportation Commission approved transferring that portion of State Route 83 from Caltrans to the City earlier this year.
As part of the transfer, Chino received $18.8 million from Caltrans, including an additional 18.5% negotiated by the City. That funding will support both immediate maintenance and larger long-term upgrades. In the short term, residents could see work such as pothole repairs, traffic signal maintenance, weed removal, sign replacements, debris cleanup, and catch basin cleaning. Longer-term plans include pavement rehabilitation, upgraded Omnitrans stops, improved traffic signal equipment, and corridor beautification.
The bigger change is that Chino now has more control over how improvements along Euclid move forward. With less Caltrans oversight required, the City says it can streamline planning and construction, pursue additional county, state, and federal grants, and coordinate more directly with agencies like Ontario and SBCTA on traffic flow and signal synchronization. The transfer is also expected to help advance the Euclid Bridge Project, which would raise and expand the roadway over Chino Creek to reduce flood risk and improve regional travel.
⚾ Tower Buzzers Take the Field
The Ontario Tower Buzzers were back in action Monday night, facing the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in a local matchup that ended 5–1 in favor of the Quakes.
The Buzzers stayed scoreless through the first six innings before getting on the board in the seventh. Vargas was one of the offensive highlights with a triple, while Espinoza brought in Ontario’s lone run. On the mound, Leiter opened with three scoreless innings and five strikeouts before Rancho Cucamonga’s offense took control later in the game.
And there’s more happening around this team than what shows up on the scoreboard. The Buzzers also recently welcomed more than 100 people with disabilities and their families for a special day at the ballpark, giving campers the chance to learn from players and coaches, tour the clubhouse, and even step onto the professional field themselves.
A night of local baseball, plus a reminder that some of the team’s best moments happen beyond the final score.
Staying Safe & Ready for Anything
Anyone feel that 3.1 earthquake near Corona Tuesday night?? We brought back History Corner this week because we happened to be in the Safety & Resilience Chapter, and it was just so timely. Here are some safety hazards relevant to our region, and some info on them from Chino’s General Plan.
Chino sits near several active fault zones (trust me, I’m a geology major 😆; as a matter of fact, the day I signed for my house in Chino, we experienced two mini quakes as we were signing. So we took that as a confirmation we needed to be in Chino), including the Chino Fault and the much larger San Jacinto and Elsinore systems nearby. The General Plan's hazard maps flag areas of higher liquefaction risk and a lot of that overlaps with the flatter, southern parts of the city built on old floodplain soil.
On a disaster note, there is also fire: Chino itself isn't in the highest-risk wildfire zone the way the foothill communities are, but wind-driven fire and smoke from the surrounding hills absolutely reach us. Chino’s General Plan pushes for defensible-space standards and better evacuation route planning. This matters because our biggest real risk in an emergency isn't the disaster itself, it's everyone hitting the same few roads at once. If Butterfield exit already gets clogged with regular rush hour traffic, imagine in a disaster! Knowing a few ways out of your neighborhood is genuinely one of the most useful things you can do.
The plan also leans on something called community resilience, the idea that neighbors checking on neighbors saves more lives in the first hour of a disaster than any agency can. Chino also runs an Emergency Preparedness Fair with the next one coming up in September. We’ll advertise it when it’s closer.
Personally, being a homeowner in the region made me really appreciate our first responders & fire crew — thank you for your service!

🐾 Meet Poppy, August’s Pet of the Month!
This month’s Pet of the Month is Poppy, a determined pup who has recently discovered that standing on cans comes with one very important perk: treats.
With a little patience and practice, Poppy has been learning to balance like a pro, especially when her favorite Pet Wants Duck Sticks are involved. Safe to say, if there’s a Duck Stick waiting at the end, Poppy is ready to give just about anything a try.
Congratulations to Poppy on being our August Pet of the Month! Stop by Pet Wants Chino Hills this weekend to pick up your reward and celebrate your new title.
🐾 Keep Their Minds & Bodies Busy
A happy pet needs more than physical exercise. Mental stimulation and enrichment can help keep pets occupied while you’re away, while also reducing boredom, unwanted behaviors, and stress.
Pet Wants Chino Hills recommends creating a simple “Pet Wants Enrichment Station” at home. Natural chews can satisfy the instinct to chew, lick mats offer a calming and rewarding activity, and snuffle mats turn treats or mealtime into a fun seek-and-find game.
And don’t forget one of the easiest forms of enrichment: a good walk. A little exercise before you head out can help your pet burn off extra energy and settle in for some well-earned downtime afterward.
An easy routine to keep in mind is MOVE → HUNT → CHEW → REST — exercise their body, engage their brain, satisfy their natural instincts, then give them time to relax. A little variety can go a long way toward keeping your pet happy, healthy, and entertained.
*Always supervise pets with chews and enrichment items, choose appropriately sized products, and remove items when they become small enough to swallow.
