Corona


Book Description

Corona's circular boulevard gave rise to its nickname, "The Circle City." The community hosted three world-class road races on its roadway-racetrack, Grand Boulevard, and became known as the "Lemon Capital of the World" with more than 11,000 acres of citrus crops. Then & Now: Corona shows the city's amazing transformation from a rural, agricultural enclave to a cosmopolitan, suburban community.




Corona, CA


Book Description

Several times in the late 20th century, Corona was cited as the fastest-growing city in California, doubling and tripling its former sleepy-town size of around 25,000 in the 1970s to 150,000 in a matter of just decades. Corona has come a long way from its former offshoot identity as South Riverside in the late 19th century. Incorporated as Corona in 1896, it survived as a dry-farming community until the arrival of citrus crops. Its status as a way station for travelers between Los Angeles and the outlying desert communities was dramatically altered in the mid-1910s when it became an internationally recognized road-racing draw for the likes of Barney Oldfield and other great speedsters of the day. As a bedroom community today for workers in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, it is virtually a prototype of Southern California suburban growth.

His down to earth style and unassuming confidence are everything she's been looking for, and their time together gives her strength and hope. But Ryan falls sick. Will their love survive when Coronavirus strikes? ---- About writing the book - an author dealing with the stress of a pandemic. "I wanted to write a book that would help me deal with what I was feeling... I wrote a few times a week, exploring what magic would have added to my experience of Edinburgh. For example, the duck pond that Ryan mentions is a place that my husband and I loved to visit before lockdown, and I missed it. And the supermarket where Molly and Ryan meet is the same one where we'd get bread to feed the ducks and swans. I also used to love going to Arthur's Seat, the park where Molly spent her homeless nights. But it was now on the other side of town and I couldn't risk the bus ride to get to it. So, in my writing I went to these places. I went there as Molly, a young and brave witch." Dune meets The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, in today's world of a pandemic. Great for lovers of Discovery of witches: A story of love in the time of Corona (in the time of covid), of how to find love behind the mask. Are you a witch?
