The Community of San Bernardino, CA:

Nestled in a beautiful valley in sunny south California, San Bernardino provides easy access to all of southern California.  Within an hour’s drive, you can easily get to mountains, desert, the ocean and beaches, and the major international metropolis of Los Angeles, San Diego is just two hours away.  As a transportation hub that includes the historic Route 66, major freeways, railways and an international airport, other communities are readily accessible.  The business economy of the community is growing, and an intensive downtown revitalization will bring more housing, entertainment and dining opportunities to the urban center.  Active community programming offers something for everyone, from sports leagues for all ages to dance classes to community education for adults.  The great outdoors are at your doorstep, with winter sports in the mountains, hiking and water sports in area parks, and the Pacific Ocean all in a short drive away.  Each September nostalgia settles in San Bernardino as the Route 66 Rendezvous, a weekend-long festival celebrating the historic highway, comes to the city.  And for the history buff or entrepreneur, the original McDonalds opened in San Bernardino.
