Talk:Yucaipa, California

(null header)
''Originally a retirement community, Yucaipa (an Indian name meaning red earth) later degenerated as young families moved in and their children began using too much methamphetamine. The smart ones escaped.''

The above seems strongly POV so I have taken the liberty of removing it--4.232.252.164 17:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC) tyhrh fhhh 2003 of the two peoples

The name Yucaipa does not mean red earth. It is a serrano indian word for "wet lands" the dip than runs through the City used to be marsh lands, and the area that is now known as Dunlap Acres used to be marsh as well. This is fact and they teach us that in school. In addition, you can go to the library on fifth st. and rent a book called "The Yucaipa Valley" and it well tell you the rich history of this city dating back to the 1890's. Maybe some one can do that and make this page a little better. BT

Is this POV? Any reviews/empirical evidence to support the statement?

Just asking...

If you lived in Yucaipa, you'd know that they are!!!...if you need any LITERARY proof, just head over to the Yucaipa Branch Library and check out the pictorial book about Yucaipa(just published by Arcadia Publishing)...maybe that should help...

It might gratify U 2 know that I attended Moore Junior High in Redlands, and have actually spent many a pleasant hour researching in the Yucaipa library! Being a book-reading historian type, I served as a library aide at Moore, and was well known by the reference section ladies at the A.K. Smiley Public Library (indeed, a friend of mine from Moore who got me hooked on writing in a journal, was a reference aide at Smiley his senior year at Redlands High, fetching tomes from the basement...).

SO  -   Ah'm jest ASKIN' !

I live here in Yucaipa, and IMO, you don't need literary evidence to prove that our apples are better than Washington State's...and besides, why look it up in a book when you can go to the Yucaipa Valley historical Museum(where the old Mousley Museum used to be on Bryant Street at Panorama Drive), and look over the apple-crate labels, and buy some apple jelly or apple pancake syrup!...you won't miss a thing!...Michaela92399 02:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Samyael (talk) 03:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC) Well, just to let you know; thought this was common knowledge but i guess it isn't. Oak Glen does have delicious apple, BUT, unless you get it straight from the tree, it probably is from Washington State. Oak Glen doesn't produce enough apples to go with is tourism, so it imports large amounts of apples from Washington. And I do know what I am talking about. My family use to own Snowline Orchards many, many years ago. And resently, about 20 years ago though, my mother worked for Snowline under its current owners.

Born in Redlands and raised in Yucaipa I too believe I am qualified to judge the produce from our valley. The apples are great but the oranges and avocados were amazing. Too bad they took out all the groves to put in housing and a golf course. Sorry if it's POV. I feel the removal of so many acres of orchards is relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandrasalem7 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
