Just left the Arcadia Mall and its dependable ranks of asian shoppers--no bookstore, 10 cellphone places.

If Detroit can do it....if the Inland Empire can do it, there's nowhere that can't do something:

Foreign companies are setting up manufacturing centers, attracted by cheap land and a weak dollar. Shoppers are trickling back to malls, with the latest figures from the state showing both San Bernardino and Riverside counties outpacing Los Angeles County in growth of taxable sales.
The region's unemployment rate fell to 13.4% in September, down from 14.1% in August, the state reported Friday. The Inland Empire added a net 4,700 jobs in a month when the state overall gained 11,800 positions.
Lytle's company, Rancon Group, has bought 3,000 residential lots in Riverside County over the last three years. The plan is to sell them off to home builders as the housing market recovers, which Lytle predicts will happen by 2013.
"We really believe we're at the bottom," he said. "We're already seeing pockets of strength in some of these locations." |

Funds received by the Department of Corrections three times as much as the UC and CSU systems--with the former still rising, and the latter declining:

Chevy tries the Disney model:

| Quote: | They will learn such rules as a prince or princess never smokes in public. That takes the magic out of the Magic Kingdom. They will also learn that sometimes it's better to be a little bit like Dopey. The silent dwarf doesn't have to say anything to make people feel good. When it comes to purchasing cars, customers remember less about what the sales staff said than they do about the experience they had at the dealership.

Belies the fact there's probably more Midwesters there any given day than Californios. You want CA? How 'bout you shrink the logo and pull the plug on the grand ol' names, like Regal! To think it proper name is "Insignia." That's a name CA can identify with.

"Crazy Famous" RE agents go to facebook for trendiness--and confidentiality.
| Quote: | | "Traditionally this business had been done people to people, by agent-to-agent referrals," said Ben Kinney, author of the e-book "Soci@l" and owner of Keller Williams brokerages in Washington. "In this market, where people are in distress, they may be more likely selecting an agent online." |

| Quote: | Nearly 40% of all domestic visitors to the state last year took part in at least one type of outdoor activity, according to statistics released this month by the California Travel and Tourism Commission. That adds up to 75.6 million visits to the state and $44 billion in direct spending in 2010, according to the commission.
The importance of the outdoor economy has been especially apparent as the state looks to emerge from the economic downturn.
With the state budget crisis worsening and unemployment topping 12%, California officials hope to seize on its balmy climate, 840 miles of coastline and more than 9 million acres of state and national parks to generate more revenue for the state and create jobs.
"If there is a silver lining to a poor economy, it is that more people are spending more time in the outdoors," said Rob Southwick, president of Southwick Associates and author of an economic analysis of the state's outdoor activities. |
