Welcome to Happening in Upland, the local podcast that delivers an honest, unfiltered look at life in the heart of the Inland Empire. In this episode for February 2026, hosts Mark and Joleen navigate the "concrete hellscape" to bring you the latest on the Pipeline Upland Memorial Skate Park, a fascinating piece of local history involving clandestine Bible smuggling, and the reality of the city's recent crime reports. We balance the scales with essential updates on Upland Unified school trips, a spotlight on Highlander sports, and a much-needed guide to surviving the Santa Ana winds and the perpetual construction on Foothill Boulevard. Whether you're looking for weekend plans at the Downtown Farmers' Market, craving a schnitzel at The Stein Haus, or seeking a reality check on the local real estate market, we provide the insights you need with just enough edge to keep it real. Subscribe for your weekly dose of Upland news, served with a side of grit and a hint of caffeinated cynicism.
