That brought back some memories. I had many breakfast croissants at that Jack in the Box, walked every morning to Bradley Elementary school. I was told not to enter the housing area that was there or we would be kidnapped and killed. Lived behind that Bargin Thrift store for.most of our Elementary years on olive st in a 1 bedroom apartment. . We were dirt poor. My only goal when graduating HS was to leave. I live in Iowa now, so I guess goal achieved!
Did you ever try the Monterey roast beef from Jack In The Box back in the day? I still love that sandwich! Wish they would bring it back! It was on flatbread with a chili relleno and roast beef
We used to ride our motocross bikes through the wash all the way to glen Helen and hesperia. My buddy Mike owns the Taco bender and another landmark is to the left on Est and baseline was Sages dept store. They had their toy store in an area outside separate from the big building best toy store anywhere!
I had fond memories of both Baseline and Mt Vernon Drive Ins. Spent SO many Saturday nights there in our lawn chairs in front of the van parked near the back row (I think in the Back Rows was required - so the tall roof wouldn’t block the view for others). Wouldn’t trade those memories for the world!!
I lived in Rialto in 70s, having graduated from Ike in 1979. Been down this road countless times. It has hardly changed. Been to Amapola's many times. There used to be a place called "Jim's What-A-Steak" on Baseline. They had the best grinder sandwiches. Seems like the bridge over the 215 freeway is relatively new. I honestly don't remember how it was before. Good to see that Alfredo's Italian is still there. Great food! Snow-covered San G in the background is spectacular. We used to go to the Studio walk-in movie theater on Baseline, and the Baseline Drive-In theater. They both evidently are gone.
Thanks for the upload. I was there in 87 & 88. Graduated from SBHS class of 88, joined The Marines, retired and never returned to the IE. I see few changes..... glad I left though.
@@ronaldtenayuca4418 they have rebuilt on the property after they tore Waterman Gardens down its now called Arrowhead Grove ..looked good last time I drove through but still section 8 housing and lots of homeless near it
@@chiefrocka6983 OK!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I ALWAYS HAD THE IMPRESSION THAT WATERMAN GARDENS WAS GOING TO BE THERE TIL THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S A GOOD THING THEY DID!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS ONE OF THE PILLAR BLEMISHES OF SAN BERNARDINO. I'M SURE IT MAKES THINGS FEEL LIKE THERE IS A FRESH START IN THE AREA. IT'S ALMOST LIKE A MAJOR CORPORATION CHANGING ITS LOGO AFTER ALMOST GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. WATERING GARDENS EPITOMIZED EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO SAN BERNARDINO IN A NUTSHELL. IT WAS A SYMBOL OF THE PAST EVEN THOUGH THE PAST HASN'T GOTTEN BETTER AND POSSIBLY WORSE.
I was stationed at Norton 67-70 San Bernardino was a great town then People were friendly. Met my wife there she was going to College there met at a dance on the Base. I see videos of what it’s like today makes me sad. Many Cities in California and the country have declined .
Haha! Taco Bender is old school! Remember Taco Tia??? I figured out one day that kia dealer stole their old jingle... ka-ka-ka-Kia! instead of Ta-ta-ta-Tia! Taco Tia! Diabolical!!!;)
Thanks for makin this Video,,,alot of memories off of aseline,,I only lived in SB for 2 years but so. many things happen there...youd never know jus driving down baseline,,a few stories to be told just from me....Thanks again..anywhere in SB is interesing to me!!
It makes me sad to see how run down San Bernardino has gotten. I was born and raised in San Bernardino in the Del Rosa area. My father worked at Norton AFB. I graduated from Pacific High School in 73. San Bernardino was an "All American City" back then.
Thank you for the video! Do you know any places where there are a lot of tall palm trees and orange? Looking for a mountain view with these two combo trees(farm) . Thank you~
I remembered Baseline St. when I was a little kid back in 2009. I used to take the OmniTrans to take so many buses to different destinations such as Walmart and other restaurants because we didn't had a car. I had some okay/good/bad memories living on Baseline St. with my grandmother and my brother. I remember everything changed so drastically when stores closed down permanently such as Smart & Final. I did see they demolished 2 thrift stores that were near to each other in 2018 or 2020. It's a good thing I moved out of there in 2015 because it was out of control of fighting and conflict.
What, no gunshots heard? Twenty plus minutes without hearing one is special. I graduated from Rim of the World in 74 and we hated coming to the flatlands to do track meets.
clear skies .... wow . I worked at the TB association office off e street between baseline and highland ave. Used to do volunteer work every summer while in high school. remember coming back to visit in 69 and staying at the old California hotel in downtown San Bernardino. is solar observatory still up at big bear lake ?
Thank you for watching. I’m glad I brought back some memories. Yes, the observatory is still there in big bear. Not sure if they’re still doing tours though.
Yes on top of the snow covered Mountain at the far east end is Mt San Gorgonio and the Baseline for all of sothern california is set off that allthe way south the the mexico Border that and foothill Blvd go all the way to the ocean amd all cities west and south are all laid out off of baseline pretty cool fun fact
Spent 5 years at Norton (87-92). We all tolerated “Scum-Bernardino” but it was one of the most deplorable places to ever be stationed. What’s amazing about this video is that the sky is clear! Air shows at the base were awful because no one could see any aerial displays.
I talk to everyone all through the city in ally’s, behind stores, in fields, parks etc. I don’t record people unless they want to be on camera. You can record driving but up and personal I try and respect.

Cool. Went to San Bernardino HS late 80s left in 93 never went back. I live in Destin Florida where I absolutely love it!!
Yes unfortunately SB has declined a lot glad you made it out.
Beautiful clear day for a drive. Snow looks great on the mountains!

Yah taco bender is really good. 👍
Love taco bender, supported it during 2020 before I left
It’s the best.
Our city alway been bad even when i was at riley elementary shool in 85❤😊
One of my favorite places as a kid was going to the Baseline Drive In. Then later in high school on dates.
The drive in was opened in 1948 and closed down in 1985.
I had fond memories of both Baseline and Mt Vernon Drive Ins. Spent SO many Saturday nights there in our lawn chairs in front of the van parked near the back row (I think in the Back Rows was required - so the tall roof wouldn’t block the view for others). Wouldn’t trade those memories for the world!!
They made United/Linland Vans park on the back two rows, but it was like reserved parking for us. Back doors opened all the way down the aisle.
@@markbrenneman5219 I remember the tri-city, bel air and one that started with the letter " R " also.
Pacific High School graduate 1980, Baseline looks the same. My Uncle owned the first RV sales lot located on Baseline. Its been gone for decades now.
Yes baseline hasn’t changed much at all .

From what I hear G st. near Baseline is now the stroll.
Yes it is.

Yes very sad it’s got so much worse since the two years that I filmed these. Thank you so much for watching.

Baseline used to be the main way to drive into the mountains before hwy 18
POV: you turn into a car on your 15th birthday
the town is a little warn down, a lot of the farmland has gone away. but the people are great in the IE
Yes I agree a little warn down. Thank you for watching.

You're welcome. It's great that you drove into Baseline, past Pizza Hut where my family and I get pizza and wings for parties and birthdays.
I’m glad I brought back some memories.
Baseline baby here…lol 😭🙋🏿♂️
Btw I wonder if Baseline the streets name came from Norton Air Force Base???..hints “Baseline”???🧐🧐🧐🤔🤔🤔
Me too 👍
Not sure I’ll have to research it good thinking 🤔
What, no gunshots heard? Twenty plus minutes without hearing one is special. I graduated from Rim of the World in 74 and we hated coming to the flatlands to do track meets.
Born and raised off Perris and 13th right before going up the baseline bridge to the left
I know the area very well, thank you for watching. 👍
@@The.Official.Journey thank you for all the videos that you have done it's always good to see the positive side of San Bernardino
Your welcome 🙏
Tough neighborhood. An acquaintance owned a business on 14th and Massachusetts. A couple of shootings, stabbings, and clubbings as I recall.
clear skies .... wow . I worked at the TB association office off e street between baseline and highland ave.

@@The.Official.Journey thank you. used to love driving to big bear, buying beef jerky nuggets and sitting by the lake near the observatory
What happened to your Jeep?
Jeep is in the shop getting some work done, I’ll be in my truck for about a week. It’s a gas guzzler.
This is my side of town
🙏👍
Does anyone know how the street was named?
No I don’t, hopefully someone does .

@@nascars007 Wow that is interesting. Thanks!
@@nascars007 San Bernardino peak is point of intersection between the grid lines
Remember the iconic Mug ?
I remember going there as a kid, the mug was definitely iconic loved the place.
Been along time since we ate at amapola Rico taco
One of my favorite spots since I was a kid. And taco bender across the street. 👍
Too bad you drove by so fast! I couldn't see what you were passing by!
👍👍
SLOW down the playback to 1/2 or 1/4 speed, it helps.
Anyways hello
Hello, thank you for watching. 👍

😃
Baselines not as bad as one would think. Just on occasion.
Hey Derek, thanks for watching your right about baseline . I enjoy your videos keep um coming. Thanks for the comment.
@@The.Official.Journey Cheah !

I was Stationed at Norton 67-70 it was a great town
You should get off your car on water and baseline and shoot video, talk to the addicts walk down the allys
I talk to everyone all through the city in ally’s, behind stores, in fields, parks etc. I don’t record people unless they want to be on camera. You can record driving but up and personal I try and respect.
Country like a lot gangs no
SAD ITS LIKE L.A NOTHING BUT BUMS & TWEEKERS
