As you wake up to your free Continental Breakfast we invite you to TECH Fest which is held monthly in the East Side Technological Pavilion for the purpose in recycling older technology and buying new tools to help with everyday life. The pavilion is set up very similar to the traditional plaza with shops surrounding the "Concrete Park"  so stop and visit "Robbie's Rock'n Robots." Robbie's has many fun toys for the kids and a kid-at-heart like yourself. After spending some money at Robbie's journey on over to the butcher shop on Paloma Boulevard for the best cuts of beef you could ever imagine!  Have a chat with Mr. Jim Valetto and ask him about the local high school football team and their winning season at State Championships last year (Valetto is the Rio Grande High School football coach). For the best baked goods in the region consider visiting Ole' Mrs. Tobinson on San Jose Street, and getting some of her locally renowned donut holes with her secret jelly. If you are into mystery novels, you may want to visit the Friends of the Library Bookstore at the Loma Linda Branch Library, the bookstore has so many that neighboring community libraries come to buy from them. No visit to the East side is complete without driving by the Army Base and wondering what really goes on inside the fences, many conspiracies theories exist since the base was built in the early 60's. After leaving the East side honk as you cross the Oñate Bridge, because legend says if you do, you can hear it all the way down to Mexico. When you cross the bridge look for the Bradford Building on Central Avenue, though of no interest inside, the sign on the side of the wall makes you giggle at how unique the community is.  Depending what your in town for business or pleasure, chances are it will take you to the historic plaza!
