Episode Description
Welcome to a blistering edition of Happening in Upland, where the March heat is hitting triple digits and the Tesla Superchargers on Arrow Route are currently doubling as a monument to failed paperwork. Hosts Mark and Joleen navigate the week's highs and lows, from the bureaucratic "rounding error" stalling local EV charging to the $13 million construction headache on Foothill Boulevard that's testing everyone's sanity. It's not all scorched earth and traffic cones, though; the duo celebrates record-breaking graduation rates at UUSD, standout student achievements, and the new "Nashville vibe" at Kings Brewing--even if they can't quite agree on whether a beer slushie is a stroke of genius or a culinary crime. Between sobering reports on local crime and the reality of an $829,000 median home price, this episode offers a grounded, honest look at why life in Upland remains a beautiful, expensive, and currently very sweaty mess.
