Until this year, I really paid no attention to the grade schools in California. My little boy started Kindergarten 3 weeks ago, at Lindo Park School.
I have to admit, this school is a lot different than any other school I have had any dealings with, at any grade level.
Never before have I met such a great group of teachers, teachers that truly do care about their students. Ones that take the time to get to know the students and their parents.
The Principal of this school, Ms. Ginger Van Zant, is wonderful! She's eager to get to meet the parents, students, etc. She shows a true interest in the children and families attending classes at her school. She's always looking for ways to make the school better, and making the school safer and more enjoyable for the students there.
The school is well maintained, quite safe, peaceful, and well run.
It is mainly run on common sense, not a lot of over the top rules as so many other schools are.
My son is having the time of his life at this school. He adores his teacher, Ms. Nicki Lustig, and he adores Ms. VanZant.
This school also thoroughly enjoys and welcomes parent volunteers, which I plan to do very shortly. And the PTA is wonderful. I can remember no one wanting to be a pta member back when I was in school because all they did was ask for money and never did anything for the school or its students...but this PTA is different. And I can happily say that my fiance and I are proud members of this schools PTA!

Have eaten their a few times and the food has been fairly good. It is a very close location to the freeway, but the return is slow. Good for families as it has a play area for the kiddies.

Large selection of simple and compound bows and arrows. The prices are very reasonable and there is also a class you can take to sharpen your skills. The personnel are very knowledgeable and will help you find the right bow for you. There are also some quick reference books to teach you the basics for beginning archers. Don't forget to pick up some targets; they have both stationary and portable ones depending on how serious you are about archery. Overall, a great place with a large selection of bows and arrows for both beginners and serious archers.

Last year my cat had an emergency- all of a sudden his foot and leg swelled up to twice the normal size, and was painful. It was so sudden, we though he may have been bitten by a rattler (we do get them in this area) They told us to bring him in right away, they saw us immediately upon arrival, and treated him very well. He is usually a very nervous cat, and hates to go to the vet, but for some reason, he was totally calm while they examined him, and determined it was not a snake bite. They never could determine what had caused the swelling, but gave him antibiotics ( a shot and then pills for at home) and observed him for awhile. The swelling did go down after a day or two, and we have never had the problem again. They only charged us $100 for everything, which seems fair to me- I have been charged much more for a lot less treatment at different vets over the years.

This little family owned chinese food restaurant is a great place! They only have a few little booths inside, but they do have a pick-up counter. Everything we've tried from here has been very tasty and cooked just right. The only drawback to this restaurant is they only accept cash, so be sure to stop at the ATM first. They are very quick with completing orders.

I recently visited Allie's Gifts, and I can say I wish I had stopped in sooner. They have a wide selection of gifts, as well as shipping services. The store is well organized and clean. I have been to some gift shops that were really cluttered, but Allie's, despite the wide selection of your standard(and some not so standard) gifts, did not feel cluttered. The service was really friendly and attentive as well. I have noticed they occasionally have coupons in the Pennysaver as well, usually offering discounts on gifts, as well as discounts on shipping.

We have done business with Lakeside Water District for about 4 years now. You don't get to choose what water district you get your water from, but I can't really complain about this one. The customer service is reasonable. The main office is fairly easy to get to, and close, so you can drop your payment there, and save yourself a stamp. I had a time when my payment was late by a few days, and I wrote them a letter asking if they could waive the late fees, which they did since it was the first time. They will waive the late few if you are not late more than twice in a 24 month period.

It was nice to get personal attention at this salon. I went in for a haircut, and came out just like I like it. They listen to you and what you want. I loved the small town feel and the chit chat that went with it. Often at big chain stores they rush you in and out pretty quick. Golden Touch is more than just a haircut.

Leo's Lakeside Pharmacy carries a variety of items- not just medicine and stuff. Party goods, gifts, candy, among other things make it someplace you can make a quick stop with things to browse while your order is being filled. The prices on over the counter medications seemed to be lower than the national pharmacies and grocery stores, too. Service was fast and friendly.
