Love Letter to Riverside

We were overwhelmed with joy during the opening reception of 60 Miles East, a new exhibition at Riverside Art Museum curated by The Riversider ’s own Zach Cordner and Ken Crawford. The exhibit focuses on Riverside’s underground punk, hardcore, and ska scene from the late 1980s through the early 2000s.

We were amazed that over 1,200 people attended our opening! The exhibition was crammed full of people; it was hot and sweaty just like a real Showcase Theatre show. We saw so many faces we hadn’t seen in decades. The opening was truly like a massive high school reunion for many of us!

We would especially like to thank the exhibition sponsors Travis Barker of Blink-182 and 98 Posse’s

Bill Fold. Their support and generosity is what got this show up and running. We hope this exhibit connects old friends and inspires a new generation in Riverside to keep the city’s music scene thriving. It was exciting to see members from Voodoo Glow Skulls reconnecting with the members of Riverside’s Smokestacks, reminiscing over the giant wall collage of flyers from the Riverside area. It was truly a dream come true and a special moment for Riversiders.

Don’t worry if you missed the opening. The exhibition will be open through mid-April, so you must check it out and bring some friends! Be sure to follow our Instagram @sixtymileseast for more information on upcoming events at Riverside Art Museum.

As we welcome the holidays and the upcoming New Year we wish you, our beloved Riverside community, all the best. Stay safe, but get out there and enjoy the season! If you are checking out the Mission Inn lights remember that the 60 Miles East exhibition is only a few steps away, and we are sure you will love it!

Duane Roberts was a Riverside native who found his first success in the food industry. As a young man working in his family's meat business, he developed what is believed to be the first commercially available frozen burrito. By the time he sold Butcher Boy Food Products in 1980, the company was producing a million burritos a day. But his lasting mark on this city came later.

In 1992, the Mission Inn had been shuttered for seven years, surrounded by chain-link fencing, dismissed as too far gone and out of fashion. Coupled with a struggling local economy many saw the Inn as a lost cause. Roberts saw something

else. He and his wife Kelly took on a considerable risk, reopened the hotel, and began the work of restoring it to prominence.

One might quibble about the details of who funded what. But the central facts are not in dispute: the Roberts family had a vision for the Inn when many were ready to watch it die, and they backed that vision with action.

The Festival of Lights, launched a year after the reopening, grew into a nationally recognized holiday tradition drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The Inn became an anchor for a broader revival, helping transform downtown

Riverside into one of the premier civic centers in Southern California. That transformation was not inevitable. It required someone willing to bet on a once model city that hadn't yet found its renaissance.

Roberts was a businessman, a philanthropist, and a central figure in the life of this city for more than three decades. He explored the Mission Inn as a boy. He owned it for 32 years.

We can honor his legacy by continuing to expand the vision of what downtown Riverside and its beating heart, the Mission Inn, might yet become.

Lime Street Bridge Mural

WORDS: KEN CRAWFORD PHOTOS: JULIAN JOLLIFFE

One afternoon, while Juan Navarro and Patrick Barwinski were up on scaffolding painting the Lime Street bridge, a woman showed up with Jersey Mike's sandwiches and water.

"I love art," she told them. "I've always loved art. This is why I love my city Riverside." She had seen them working on the bridge via Mark from Riverside’s Instagram and decided to swing by. It was that kind of project.

The city commissioned Navarro and Barwinski, in partnership with Altura Credit Union, to paint a mural on the pedestrian bridge connecting the County Administration Building to its parking lot. The theme is “Arts and Innovation.”

Creating it meant closing Lime Street for weeks, rerouting traffic through one of Riverside's busiest corridors. Rather than grumble, residents embraced the disruption. People drove out of their way to check on the progress, treating the work as a destination.

"People are cheering it online, kind of following that journey," Navarro said. He received a message from a woman now living in Fresno who recognized the stairs on the bridge. "Those are the stairs I used to work out on so long ago," she wrote. "I can't wait to see how it turns out."

Barwinski, who Riversiders may recognize from his work on Mariposa Alley near City Hall, understood what it meant to add color to something already woven into the city's memory.

"To be part of history, history that was already made, and now after painting it, it's going to live even longer," he said. "The chances of them blocking the street and repainting it are slim. It's going to live for a long time."

For Navarro, the project is personal. A friend pointed out that the bridge is visible from the 91. Drivers passing through Riverside will see it without even trying.

"Big cities do this type of stuff," Navarro said. "Like San Diego. But we get our own bridge now, all custom. It gives a sense of culture to the people that live here. It's not just gray buildings. There's a sense of color and a sense of joy in that."

The Lime Street bridge joins a growing collection of murals that have become part of downtown's identity. Walk through the arts district on any given First Thursday and you'll see residents pointing them out to visitors, posing for photos, treating them as landmarks rather than backdrops.

There's something to be said for a city that invests in color, that sees public art not as a luxury but as infrastructure. These murals give downtown character that can't be replicated by development alone. Riverside is building that reputation one wall at a time.

Festival of Lights & ArtsWalk

Happy holidays from The Riversider Magazine staff. We’ll be spending plenty of evenings downtown with our families this season, enjoying the Festival of Lights, walking around, and taking in everything that makes this time of year special in Riverside.

We wanted to give you a heads up about an extra ArtsWalk happening December 18. The Riverside Arts Council collaborated with the Festival of Lights to add this event, which means another opportunity to support local artists and vendors while you’re finishing your holiday shopping or just browsing.

“We’re super excited to be a part of it this year with the Festival of Lights ArtsWalk,” Rico Alderette, president of the Riverside Arts Council, said. “It’ll be a bigger and better footprint with more local artists and vendors.” The extended hours and new layout should give you plenty to explore while the festival crowds are already out.

If you haven’t made it over to the Riverside Art Museum yet, make sure to catch 60 Miles East before it closes. The exhibition documents Riverside’s punk and hardcore scene from the 1990s through photographs, flyers, and oral histories. It’s a good chance to see that piece of local music history all in one place.

See you downtown. Buy locally this Christmas, and Happy holidays from all of us at The Riversider.

Local Hustle

The Riversider | December 2025

Patrick Maloney

Riverside has been a longtime destination for entertainment from concert venues and nightclubs to open mics and karaoke nights at local coffee shops and bars.

While these venues may only provide a casual night out for some, they have also given artists the opportunity to showcase their talents and launch the careers of countless musicians. What some may not realize is that without the hard work and dedication of promoters like Patrick Maloney, our local music community would not be what it is today.

Born in Riverside in 1980, Patrick grew up watching his father play keys with local bands at several residencies around town. At six years old, he learned to dub cassette tapes from his older sister’s collection of bands from Iron Maiden to Oingo Boingo. By eleven, he was watching bands like Morbid Angel play at Spanky’s and his mother even took him to see Johnny Cash perform in Oceanside in 1992.

“I’d get this huge mix of cool music, and that’s where I got my love for music,” Maloney said. “It’s just in my blood.”

Surrounded by music and with access to a number of instruments at home, it wasn’t long before Patrick started learning to play music on his own.

“I started wanting to play it as well, but as a kid, it seems like a dream that can’t come true. It seems like something you have to be really special to do.”

Regardless, he learned to play piano, guitar, and bass before switching to drums for his metal band in high school when they couldn’t find a drummer. Despite becoming a multi-instrumentalist, “I’m very limited,” he admitted with a chuckle. “I think that's why I decided to become a promoter, because I realized, hey, maybe I’m not as good as everybody else.”

After promoting live shows at a number of local venues throughout his twenties, Maloney was hired as Hospitality Manager at The Fox Theater and Riverside Municipal Auditorium in downtown Riverside in 2010. This position allowed him to meet and host artists from Jerry Seinfeld to Motorhead and learn about the music business, but his passion remained with the local music community.

In 2014, he was given the opportunity to organize a weekly open mic every Monday at The Fox Theater’s “Preview Bar” which was met by enormous support from the community.

“The opening night, there was a line around the block. We actually had to turn people away,” he recalled. “We had so many great musicians come in there and it was always packed. There was never a dead night.”

Despite its success, when ownership of The Fox changed hands the following year, Patrick was forced to move his open mic night to several venues before finding its longtime home at Back to the Grind coffee shop on Wednesday nights from 6-9pm.

“I love supporting that venue. They literally have a sign that says, ‘Leave your labels at the door’, and that’s the truth,” Maloney said. “I want to show that a sixteen year old and a 68 year old

are playing my open mic. We have people of all walks of life perform, and it doesn’t matter because we’re all the same.”

Patrick also hosts a karaoke competition every Tuesday night at The Hideaway in downtown Riverside, as well as open mic and karaoke nights on Fridays at Euryale Brewing and every first and third Saturday at Packing House Brewery.

The sheer volume of events Patrick has consistently organized for over a decade is a testament to his dedication and love for supporting local music.

“I love watching open mic nights. There’s nothing more amazing than watching an artist put their heart and soul into their music and play it in front of strangers, which can be terrifying,” he explained.

As a musician, Patrick understands the importance of providing a quality experience when producing his events.

“I’m all of it,” he explained. “I can’t afford to hire a crew, so I run the sound, I bring the PA system, and I MC most of the shows.”

This attention to detail truly sets him apart from other promoters and is worth all the effort. “It’s not a job. The job is setting up, maintaining the equipment, and putting the show together, but the show is not the work, it’s the cherry on top.”

Patrick Maloney is a proud Riverside native and recognizes the city’s support for the arts.

“A lot of other cities don’t have the community that Riverside does. We have a community that actually cares about each other and a city council and mayor that live up to its name as the ‘City of Arts and Innovation.’ I’m very lucky to be here and just be a part of it.”

Create

Willis Garcia Salomon’s art feels like stepping into a memory—familiar foods, iconography from the ’80s and ’90s, lived-in textures and experiences stitching themselves into place. His work sits somewhere between painting, installation, and personal archaeology— familiar, playful, and deeply rooted in the Inland Empire.

“I’ve always been crafty, figuring out how things work,” Willis says. “I’ve been creating since I was a kid.”

up drawing in the margins of school notes and studying the world around him. A second-grade coloring contest gave him his first spark of confidence, but curiosity was the real catalyst— tinkering with photocopiers and experimenting with any material he could get his hands on.

“I’VE BEEN CREATING SINCE I WAS A KID.”

A Filipino immigrant, born in Manila and raised across San Bernardino and Riverside, Willis grew

That instinct carried him through art school, and eventually fashion school for visual display. He created window installations for Macy’s, styled photo shoots, and art-directed campaigns for clothing brands. Without realizing it, the years he spent problem-solving, composing visuals, and shaping environments laid the foundation for the immersive art he creates now.

A shift occurred during the pandemic. Willis left fashion, drifted into photography, and slowly found himself pulled toward his own work. Joining Eastside Arthouse in 2021 became the breakthrough. “Seeing artists side by side, blending styles, learning from each other… I needed that kind of community,” he says.

Today, Willis is pushing deeper into installation and mixed media, creating pieces that blur 2D and 3D. Strings hang from his work—part street-art drip, part conceptual thread tying his experiences together. Each piece feels like a memory assembled in real time, proof that the things we create often reveal who we’ve been all along.

Outside the studio, Willis is a committed advocate for IE artists. He spent nearly five years with the Arts Council of San Bernardino County, co-owns All Eyes Gallery, and continues pushing for artist equity, access, and opportunity across the region.

For Willis, creativity is both a compass and a mirror—something that guides you while reflecting who you already are. “Don’t stop creating,” he says. “Whatever you’re looking for will show itself. You’ll find yourself in the things you bring to life.”

Willis Garcia Salomon: You Are What You

TRAVIS BARKER’S RIVERSIDE MUSIC ROOTS

Travis Barker wasn't born here. He didn't go to high school here. He doesn't live here now and hasn't in over twenty years. So, why does he get to be on the cover of The Riversider Magazine? Because he still sees Riverside as home. The time spent here was the genesis of much of his success. The connections made here, the skills learned, the community he was a part of, combined with a work ethic and talent, made Travis Barker.

Full disclosure: Travis eagerly contributed to 60 Miles East , our exhibit at the Riverside Art Museum. As is true for so many, Travis was forged in the hot fires of the Riverside punk scene in the '90s. When Travis talked about supporting our exhibition, there was no hesitation in his voice. “When Bill Fold brought up the idea to me, I just said yes. Of course, let's do this."

WORDS: KEN CRAWFORD

Working Class Roots

To understand why Riverside mattered so much to Barker, you have to understand where he came from. Growing up in Fontana, he watched his father work 60 to 70 hours a week at Kaiser Steel, then come home and build their family house with his own hands. They didn't have running hot water for years.

"We never had money,” Barker said. “We were always struggling. And to come from a place like that, where I come from nothing, there's always this deep rooted fear of going back there. I never want to go back there, and I want to make sure my family and my parents and everyone's taken care of."

From the time he was five or six years old, Barker had the same answer when teachers asked what he wanted to be: a drummer in a band. That answer never changed. When a high school counselor pressed him about college plans, he was direct. His family didn't have money for college, and he was going to play drums for a living. The counselor told him it wasn't possible.

"My mind was made up," he said.

He started playing pots and pans at four years old. He would watch Animal from The Muppets on TV religiously, then graduated to watching Van Halen videos and The Police on MTV. Everything from Headbangers Ball to Motörhead to Slayer shaped his musical education.

Barker also played snare drum in the marching band drumline at Fontana High School. The experience became a deep dive into rudiments and marching style.

Those drumline chops became forever ingrained in his drumming vocabulary. You can hear it in Blink-182 songs like "Going Away to College" and "All the Small Things," where he'll drop marching snare patterns into the middle of pop-punk songs.

Once he started getting tattooed, his father warned him: if you get so many tattoos, you're not going to be able to get a job. Barker took that as inspiration, "I don't want a plan B."

The Riverside Years: Where Everything Connected

After graduating from high school in Fontana, Barker's father gave him an ultimatum: work 60 hours a week and pay rent, or figure out the music thing on his own. Barker chose music, becoming what he calls "a drum escort," playing in any band that would have him. That hustle led him to Copacetic Cafe in San Bernardino, where Chad from BHR (who also played in The Aquabats) approached him about joining the ska-punk group. They had a show with Fishbone in a week.

Of course, he was down for the cause.

When Barker joined The Aquabats, he moved to Riverside and started staying with Bill Fold on Pachappa Drive. Fold was managing the band, but his impact went far beyond that single role. For Barker, Fold became a second mentor, someone who embodied the same relentless work ethic his father had shown him.

"Bill Fold was my second mentor in my life," Barker said. "He would work nonstop, and he was always creating and building something. I applied everything I learned from my dad and Bill to my own life and my own career, not even knowing they were so inspirational to me."

Barker did everything for The Barn, the legendary venue on the UC Riverside campus that Fold ran, including taking tickets at the door and passing out flyers. At the 98 Posse office in downtown Riverside, he listened to demo tapes to help decide which bands would play. He was learning how a scene gets built from the ground up.

"I also raised hell at his house," Barker admitted with a laugh. "I was young. I was crazy. Bill would just come home and be like, ‘oh my God, what are you guys doing?’ I was such a nightmare."

It was while living in Riverside that he bought his first Cadillac, a beat-up 1963 model with cancer holes in the body. The engine blew up a few weeks after he bought it, but that didn't matter. His father had a broken-down Cadillac in their backyard that he never had the money to fix. For Barker, owning one, even a junker, represented something.

The call that changed everything came while

he was living in Riverside. Blink-182's drummer bailed 40 minutes before a show. Barker learned twenty songs and played the next three shows with the band. They offered him the full-time spot.

"In a perfect world, I would have also stayed in the Aquabats and never left them because it was so hard to part from my friends," he said. "But I just knew it was time for the next chapter."

The Scene That Built Him

When Barker lived in Riverside in the mid-'90s, the local scene felt like a movie. The same 30 to 100 people showed up, there were no micro-scenes, and no fragmentation into exclusive subcultures. You had white kids playing reggae, weird funky metal bands, and hardcore punk all sharing the same stage.

"There was a real community. That was a scene where you showed up to The Barn and you would see the same people at every show," Barker said. "Man, that's the best feeling in the world."

That scene, built at The Barn on the UC Riverside campus and sustained through countless shows at venues across the Inland Empire, represented something important. A community of people who showed up for each other, who created opportunities where none existed, who refused to let geography or circumstances define their limits.

Travis Barker took those lessons from Riverside and carried them around the world. But he's never forgotten where he learned them: living on Pachappa Drive, taking tickets at The Barn's door, and watching Bill Fold work nonstop to build something that mattered.

When he needed food and had a few bucks, the answer was simple: Baker's Drive-Thru or Alberto's. "I never had any money, so I would eat at Baker's a lot," he recalled. "I literally was raised on Mexican food. I had never even heard of sushi until I moved to Los Angeles."

The Riverside and Inland Empire scene deserves recognition, Barker insisted, even if people have historically dismissed the area. "I think when you

tell people that you’re from Riverside or grew up in the Inland Empire, there's a tendency to just badmouth it. But, we had a lot and we did a lot. We were responsible for making the scene out there."

Some of the best shows and bands came through Riverside in those years. That sense of shared purpose shaped how Barker would approach his career. The loyalty that was built then still exists 35 years later.

Still Building

Travis Barker could easily be dismissed as a reality show star, someone who happened to be on MTV at the right time. But it's hard to ignore the things he's actually built. Transplants. Angels & Airwaves. +44. Famous Stars and Straps. Run Travis Run. The list goes on, each project a testament to the

same relentless work ethic he learned in Fontana and refined in Riverside.

"I don't know if you've ever read that book Relentless by Tim Grover, but there are closers, coolers, and cleaners,” Barker explained. “I learned I'm a cleaner. Idle time isn't good for me."

His most recent venture is Run Travis Run, a running club born from his own need for mental health maintenance. After surviving a plane crash in 2008 that left him with third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body, Barker found that running became therapeutic.

"Between some things in my childhood and my plane crash, I feel like running was the closest thing to recreating [the trauma], but now I was controlling it," he said. "I'd rather run towards it and create it than have it attack me or bombard me."

Coming Home: The 60 Miles East Exhibition

The new 60 Miles East exhibition at the Riverside Art Museum brought together many of the characters from the Inland Empire’s heyday in the ‘90s punk and hardcore scene. Travis visited the exhibition on the opening night celebration, reminiscing over old photos and greeting fans.

Hopefully the attention Travis is bringing to the Riverside Art Museum, and in turn Riverside, lingers for a bit. We believe in what the city has to offer and to see people coming to the museum for the first time is amazing. If Travis Barker (who has played stadiums around the world and collaborated with everyone from hip-hop legends to pop stars) still considers Riverside home in the ways that matter, maybe it's time the rest of the world paid attention, too.

City Hall Turns 50

Five Decades of an Architectural Icon of the Riverside Skyline

WORDS:

PHILIP FALCONE

It was a day many years in the making in downtown Riverside on October 2, 1973, as a couple hundred eager Riversiders along with the media and elected officials gathered on the Main Street Pedestrian Mall for the cornerstone laying ceremony of what would become the “new” City Hall. Several months earlier a groundbreaking ceremony was held in the same location.

With the steel beam framing of the building erected, this ceremony began the final two years of construction that would deliver Riverside a modern, spacious, consolidated City Hall. “New” City Hall opened its doors on Monday, October 6, 1975—now celebrating fifty years of operation in 2025.

One of Riverside’s first City Halls shared the Loring Building at Main and Seventh Streets (Mission Inn Avenue) with the opera house, library, and jail starting in 1890. Come the early 1920s with Riverside’s burgeoning population, it was clear that a standalone City Hall was quickly becoming a necessity.

In 1923, Riverside voters approved a bond measure to construct the City’s first municipally owned City Hall. This Spanish Renaissance Revivalstyle building, located at the southeast corner of Orange and Seventh Streets, was designed by San Bernardino architect Howard E. Jones. The building served as City Hall from July 1924 until September 1975.

Once again, come the early 1970s amid another city population boom, City Hall was bursting at the seams and even had city departments and services patched in various locations around town in makeshift offices due to lack of space in the municipal headquarters.

Local architect Herman O. Ruhnau was known for his civic buildings including the Marcy Library, Riverside City College’s Cutter Pool and Cosmetology building, and the Main Street Mall. Ruhnau was asked to design a new City Hall as a southern anchor to the Mall at Tenth and Main Streets—the Raincross Square (Riverside Convention Center) would later become the northern anchor in 1976.

Ruhnau’s design architect E. Kurt Steinmann presented an initial rendering that embraced modern architectural design principles anchored by a central, rectangular edifice with varying cantilevered levels on either side all cladded in white. Community backlash over the design caused the city council to direct Ruhnau and Steinmann to go back to the drawing board. They returned with a design that utilized the architectural styles of New Formalism and Brutalism while implementing modern arched arcades on every floor. The entire building was cladded in 999,000 locally sourced brown bricks atop steel framing and concreteskimmed walls.

An inscription on a postcard of a watercolor rendering of City Hall reads in part, “Its unique design and open office landscaping allows for future expansion and maximum flexibility. The

The City Hall Raincross

Based on a late-1960s prototype in the Riverside General Plan by Livingston and Blayney, the reimagined Raincross appeared in plan drawings by Ruhnau and Steinmann in 1972. An accomplished artist himself, Mayor Ben Lewis’ many trips to Riverside's Sister City, Sendai, Japan, may have also played a part. Notably Asian inspired, the columns of a squared arch support a wider double cross, and a separate, round clapper centered at the base of the bell is reminiscent of the rising sun on the traditional Hinomaru Japanese flag.

massive brick columns symbolize the strength of the city; the beautifully carved arches, its Spanish and Mexican heritage and the exterior landscaping, the rich quality of its cultural background.”

Following the October 2, 1973, ceremony, construction on the City Hall complex—including a three-story parking structure, City Council Chambers, and seven-story office building—took nearly two years to complete. The fifth, sixth, and seventh floors were constructed with walls that were readily moveable to expand building square footage by 21,145 square feet.

Opening day was Monday, October 6, 1975, with a ceremony full of local, state, and national pride. North High School and La Sierra High School provided musical entertainment, guests from every level of United States government and Riverside’s four international Sister Cities were

present. The keynote speaker was United States Senator from California John Tunney who spoke about the importance of local government and the dedication of the new City Hall to the people of Riverside as their “house.” Guests were invited on tours of the building and were provided pamphlets with the floor plans of each level. For the first time in decades all the city departments were once again under one roof except the police department who had their own respective headquarters constructed years prior.

Over the years, much has changed on the interior of City Hall. In 2008, a multi-million-dollar renovation gutted the interior of the building, which was the first significant renovation since 1975. A second cornerstone was laid to commemorate the renovation. Despite the size constraints, City Hall still serves its purpose well and there are no plans for another new City Hall.

As for the exterior, little has changed since 1975. Modernist architecture has always been controversial compared to the classical revival styles and this building is no different in Riverside. Irrespective of one’s loving or loathing of this bricked and arched building, there is no denial of its iconic nature. Nowhere else will one find a building that resembles this City Hall and for those reasons it has become both synonymous with Riverside and an icon of the local skyline.

Monday, October 6, 2025, marked 50 years to the day that City Hall opened and was dedicated to the people of Riverside, a year-long series of events and programming are planned including the dedication of Riverside City Hall as City of Riverside landmark number 152, which will protect the exterior of the building in perpetuity. As well as a Riverside Historical Society-published book with greater depth on City Hall’s architectural history and what this building has witnessed over the last five decades.

As tours of the building were popularized in the 1970s, a new series of tours entitled “You and Your City Government” are designed specifically for students in Riverside and will welcome fifty tour groups in one year to teach about local government and Riverside history.

Riverside’s seat of municipal government has come a long way since the 1890s—both literally and figuratively—from a small portion of an opera house, to a quickly outgrown corner across from the Mission Inn, to a modern-designed locale, the physical manifestations of the strength of local government are in both the people and their places. And Riverside’s place is ready for the next fifty.

WORDS: PHILIP FALCONE

Riverside is known for the contributions by many of its founding mothers and fathers—all of whom envisioned and designed the city that exists today following settlements in the 1870s. Perhaps the most influential and well-known of these earliest residents is Frank Agustus Miller.

Settling in Riverside with his parents and siblings in 1874 at the age of seventeen from Tomah, Wisconsin, many would not have imagined that this teenager would go on to be a transformational leader for Riverside—especially since he was not all that fond of dry, barren Riverside in those early days!

Miller is most commonly known for being the mastermind behind the Mission Inn Hotel, as its creator and operator from the late 19th century until his death in 1935. While his most expansive and beloved project, the Mission Inn was one facet of Miller’s vast impact.

A successful Mission Inn required a successful and vibrant downtown area surrounding it. Miller was instrumental in the realization of multiple local landmarks including the Loring Opera House, First Congregational Church, Sherman Institute, March Air Field, University of California Citrus Experimentation Plant, 1923 City Hall, Riverside Municipal Auditorium—and Mt. Rubidoux.

Coming from flat Wisconsin, Miller and other relocated Midwesterners found Riverside’s hilly terrain unusual and intriguing. In an 1878 map of the Jurupa land grant, what is known as Mt. Rubidoux today was then identified as a “high detached hill.” Much of its use or appreciation is relatively silent in historical records for the subsequent nine years.

However, a vision for the mountain materialized in 1887 when investors were called upon by the group who owned the mountain to pledge money to finance “The Rubidoux” hotel. This hotel was planned to be an elaborate structure overlooking the city. A bust in the economy caused the hotel stock to go unsold and the early concrete and stone remnants of The Rubidoux were abandoned to later be toppled by strong winds wrapping around the mountain.

Miller was not part of The Rubidoux hotel venture but did have an interest in the mountain. Realizing the views and access to nature in the heart of a bustling city was not only uncommon but also a commodity started a series of ideas Miller conspired to ensure public access to this space.

First, Miller sought to have the City of Riverside purchase the mountain and make it a city park—that failed. Second, and successful, Miller went to two of his most devout supporters, Charles Loring and Henry Huntington, to join him in purchasing the mountain, planting its hillside with trees and constructing a winding road to the summit.

By late 1906 this road was constructed and subsequently named Huntington Drive. The road allowed Miller to send excursions of hotel guests from the Inn, seven or so blocks southwest to the mountain to take in panoramic views of Riverside. It also became a popular place for residents to leisurely tour.

Over the next two decades the mountain was lively with events, visits from notable leaders, and plaques installed to mark special occasions.

In 1925, Frank Miller, his wife, and sister were abroad in Japan, China, the Philippines, and Hawaiian Islands for approximately six months. This was Miller’s first major trip throughout Asia and he quickly fell in love with Asian cultures—particularly Japanese—and design.

From this trip the Millers brought back hundreds of items to be utilized and displayed in the hotel. The trip was also brimming with tours from various government officials and JapaneseAmerican societies. Frank Miller had quickly made a name for himself in these countries.

Upon arrival back in Riverside in late November 1925, Miller was welcomed with several notices of good news. The voters of Riverside had passed a bond measure to construct a Municipal Auditorium about a block east from the Inn, Miller would have influence over the size, design, and architect of

the auditorium as it lined the famed Seventh Street roadway which ushered guests from the train station to the Mission Inn. The voters had also elected a new mayor, John T. Jarvis, whose home at the base of Mt. Rubidoux at 12th Street and Redwood Drive made him a frequent patron of Miller’s mountain.

An event more surprising to Miller was when he learned Riverside residents had donated funds to construct a peace tower and friendship bridge on the eastern side of the mountain in his honor while he was away. A December 13, 1925, ceremony was held to dedicate the tower and bridge to Miller. John S. McGroarty and David Star Jordan were speakers at the wintery ceremony. They spoke of the local to international impacts Miller had made—in particular his dedication to world peace and harmony among nations. Miller had held peace conferences at the Inn for years to encourage attendees and government officials to foster peace among nations through understanding and a commitment to a

common humanity.

The tower and bridge were designed by Mission Inn architect and friend of Frank Miller, Arthur B. Benton, who was a master of the California Mission and Spanish styles. The design of the Peace Tower presents features from various architectural styles and has elements reminiscent of several European countries such as Scotland, Britain, Spain and others with its rough, Medievallooking stone and conical tower shape.

Arched openings puncture the upper portion of the tower, a monumental bell was installed inside before completion and the cone top was then stoned-in around the bell mount with a wrought iron cross perched at its highest elevation. Beneath the chamber holding the bell, the exterior is lined with simplistically carved shields with the names of foreign countries.

The base of the bell tower, adjacent to the entry door, is a bronze plaque with a profile view of Frank Miller surrounded by olive branches and

inscribed with “Peace with justice for all men. Anno domini 1925. This bridge was built by neighbors and friends of Frank Augustus Miller in recognition of his constant labor in the promotion of civic beauty, community righteousness, and world peace.”

The rugged stone branches off from the tower base and transcends the mountain trail before spilling stone staircases in either direction to a lower terraced portion of the mountain with matching stone retaining walls. Carved in the stone at the center of the bridge is a simple “World Peace.”

It is shocking to many that a man as influential to Riverside history as Frank Miller, was never elected to public office or held a position of authority in the City of Riverside. Instead, his business savvy, service-minded approach, and love for his city enabled him to influence people and bring projects to life that many could only dream.

On December 13, 2025, the Peace Tower and its accompanying bridge mark a century of gracing the eastern slope of beloved Mt. Rubidoux. Dedicated to a man with an imagination that was larger than life, this historic structure represents an ideal that may seem larger than life, too—peace on Earth.

No matter how lofty, this ideal was lived each day at the Mission Inn. It was the lessons taught at Miller’s peace conferences, the greater cultural understanding inculcated by experiencing foreign art and artifacts first-hand, and the behavior exhibited that justice and peace are cornerstones to a humane world.

When analyzing the many small and several large ways Miller promoted peace, it makes what seems out of reach, a goal that all can assist in accomplishing: together toward peace.

The Riversider | December 2025

Flabob Airport Cafe

The Riversider is so proud to share that the Flabob Airport Cafe is getting a much needed upgrade!

Just a few months ago the owners of Flabob reached out to our good friend Leimamo Taylor, owner of the wonderful Riverside Airport Cafe (RAC), to ask her to help them with their cafe. Those smart guys knew that Leimamo had the expertise as she has turned the Riverside Airport Cafe into a thriving community hub.

She also brims with the high energy and Aloha spirit needed to restore and invigorate the Flabob cafe. Frankly, they were smitten and so was she, so they offered her the keys to the cafe. Leimamo immediately took it over and is bringing it back to life! We are so proud of her and have given her the honorary title of Airport Cafe Queen that she completely deserves!

We were lucky to sit down with Leimamo to chat about her newest venture and she quickly shared that this all came about because she was bored. The RAC has become such a well-oiled machine and her staff so well-trained that there wasn't much left for her to do. Even though the RAC is still her OG baby, she even got a little teary talking about it. She wanted something new to inspire the community, so when they offered her Flabob she jumped at the chance!

Leimamo shared that in talking with the

community and owners they wanted her to rinse and repeat what she has done for the RAC, so she’s done just that! The Flabob menu was quickly converted to the high quality, high flavor food offered at RAC and she has brought some of her team members over to help work with the staff at Flabob. Several of the past staff are still there and happy to see these new changes and new folks coming through the doors. As usual Leimamo hit the ground running and is making it all work out for all of us!

Flabob is such a cool and unique location, you are literally on the tarmac and Mount Rubidoux is a stone’s throw away! While we were eating, the DC-3 Flabob Express took off the runway less than 500ft away from us, and it was so exciting!

Now y’all know the food is going to be good, but, holy cow, it was great! We started with the massive Mt. Rubidoux which is a meatlover’s scramble that includes ham, bacon, and sausage on top of delicious crispy tater tots smothered in yummy gravy. It was spectacular and even looked like the actual mountain!

Next was the guacamole breakfast croissant sandwich, and it was huge and perfect. You get your choice of bacon, sausage, or ham, and it’s piled high with two eggs, cheese, and served with hash browns—you just can’t go wrong!

We also tried their Huevos Rancheros and Chilaquiles which were a little spicy, but totally doable, very flavorful, and served with your choice

of corn or flour tortillas. Either item will satisfy your classic Mexican breakfast craving perfectly. The Breakfast Burrito was another classic we tried and loved! It has eggs, hash browns, a choice of ham, bacon, or sausage, but you can upgrade to carne asada or chorizo for a bit more.

If you’re wanting more lunch in your life… you cannot go wrong with their pastrami burger. It was so tasty, I couldn't put it down. It was grilled beautifully with caramelized onions, melty swiss cheese, and topped with a thousand island dressing. Served with garlic parmesan fries, it was to die for! They also have a phenomenal roast beef dip served on a soft bun with a bowl of au jus to dip your sandwich in, so great!

Something that also stood out was their fried pickles. I’d never had them before and they were fantastic! Salty and crispy, unique and bursting with flavor in every bite. These are a must try! They really have a great menu with lots of offerings that will satisfy even your pickiest eater.

We are thrilled that Leimamo and her crew have taken over the Flabob Cafe and can’t wait to see what new changes are coming. Leimamo already told us she will be expanding the seating to the side patio and bringing in live entertainment as well. So, stay tuned for more coming at you from Leimamo’s new baby, the Flabob Airport Cafe.

Be sure to go check it out! We are certain you will be pleasantly surprised and walk out of there full of delicious food and Leimamo’s Aloha spirit.
