Riverside, Tourist Destination Too
Downtown Riverside gets a shout out in the newest release from the California Travel and Tourism Commission touting "Where to Shop and Get Pampered in California."
The release specifically singles out the Mission Inn Resort & Spa and the antique and specialty stores along Mission Inn Ave. and Main Street which must feel good for merchants like Mrs. Tiggy-Winkles and Citrus Punch Designs.
Other Inland mentions include the Lake Arrowhead Resort, Big Bear Lake, downtown Lake Elsinore and Redlands, Victorville and Old Town Temecula.
Palm Springs gets mention for its downtown merchants although the release keeps repeating "Main Street." It's Palm Canyon Drive or Hwy 111 if you're coming from I-10 if any tourists are reading this.

Who could have believed that there could be 3 Riversiders in Budapest at the same time! We met by accident, and went out to dinner at a nice restaurant near to the Danube River as well as the giant Basilica.
The antique dealers on Falk Miksa street are having one of their regular open house events this week. Exploring the basement that goes on thru scores of rooms in one of the old building, we saw lots of fine furniture and art. Check out www.designguide.hu for more information.
We were able to share with one of the English speaking assistants how much their basement reminded us of exploring the Mission Inn of Riverside.
