This week, we explore the debut of the UplandConnect app--the city's new digital \"scream into the void\" for reporting potholes--and celebrate a full century of history with the Upland Woman's Club centennial at their North Second Avenue clubhouse. We dive into the City Council's latest $1.1 million budget hurdles, the rebranding of Upland Junior High into a creative arts academy, and the \"Butterflies in May\" nature program that has Joleen checking her catalytic converter. From the Highlanders' impressive CIF baseball playoff victory to a culinary review of the \"Black and Bleu\" burger at The Heights Restaurant & Bar, we cover the high notes and the logistical headaches of our community. Stay informed on the $14 million Foothill Boulevard \"rehabilitation\" project, the shifting $719k real estate market, and why you should probably dodge the Memorial Day crowds at Red Hill Park. It's the essential weekly guide to life in the City of Gracious Living, served with a balanced perspective and just enough edge to keep it honest.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zqugjGLD6iS_VjNqlc5aVa8HWePqX8SwO0L4Hw734mU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMWUy/YTgxMjg0NjA5ZjE3/ZTMyNGE2NzY1YzY2/YzkxOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
