Happy Wednesday Chino!!!

One of the first things I learned when I moved to Chino was to never confuse Chino vs. Chino Hills… Ever made this rookie move too?😆

jokes only, we’re just built different. we love all our sister towns 🫶🏽

But in the end, we all fam.

As always, today we’re gonna cover events & updates from 91708, 91709, 91710 and beyond. One big thing upcoming soon? Some of our kiddos in Legacy Academy are going back to school (*sigh of relief from Track D parents😮‍💨*)

In this issue we have:

  • The not-so peaceful “Eden” development & other community updates

  • Recap of our first Night Market

  • …and as always, your weekend event guide.

Let’s get into it.

True to the name, this newsletter loves to highlight food, especially if it comes from a cart. The Chino Night Market opening night was a great success. If you missed it, it’s held Fridays 5-10 pm at 📍 Chino Town Square, 5459 Philadelphia Square. Watch the recap here, and follow our Instagram if you haven’t yet! Tag us with #thechinochew for a feature.

Here’s what else happened in Chino last week, in 60 seconds or less:

  • 🏗 Eden Development, a 9.82 acre project with 20,800 sqft of retail, 264 multi-family units, and 132,000+ sqft of self-storage, was green lit by the city after a much heated debate that has been going on.

  • 🍅 Galleria Market opened in Chino Hills, 4050 Chino Hills Pkway, Chino Hills. Stop by for your Asian grocery needs, and enjoy the opening perks.

  • 🏪 If you’re a local business or organization, start gearing up for the Halloween Spooktacular hosted by the City of Chino. Sign up on their website to host a booth.

  • 🎇28,000 lbs of fireworks were confiscated by the SB Taskforces. More than 100 citations issued.

I know we’re only wrapping up July and we have just a little bit more until summer fades. But I’m a sucker for fall as the anticipation for the Holidays build.

Well guess who already has their fall decor out and on a deal?! Hobby Lobby. It’s like Michaels and HomeGoods had a baby, then added some Kohl’s prices. It also has Back to School supplies on sale, rejoice parents & teachers

look at all this fun fall decor & school supplies on sale!!!
