Purchase your next gift at Falcon Ridge Town Center and sample some of the diverse cuisine offered at local favorites such as La Tapatia Mexican Grill, Nokki Thai Kitchen, and Spice Jar. You can swing by the largest library in the San Bernardino County Library System, catch a musical at Center Stage Theater, or watch a NASCAR race at the Auto Club Speedway, all right in your own backyard.
