T great impact on the entire country but one of its biggest impacts has been in the In- land Empire. Three years after the housing bubble burst the experts at the In- stitute for Spatial Economic Analysis (ISEA) at the University of Redlands have looked back and forwards to forecast the future of housing. "The news has been somewhat more positive," said Johannes Moenius, director of the ISEA. He and Prof. Mak Kaboudan looked at three counties and three cities within those counties. The study included Irvine, Orange and Anaheim in Orange County; Co- rona, Riverside, and Temecula in Riverside County and San Bernardino, Ontario and Redlands in San Bernardino County. According to their analysis all the cities in Orange County are ex- pected to still see falling home prices over the next two years be- tween 2.5 and 9 percent. In Riverside and San Bernardino counties, however, housing prices are expected to remain flat and in some small pockets to see growth over the next wo years. Though flat home prices and little growth are not the most welcome economic news, it is not the fast downward spiral that the areas have seen in recent years. In fact Moenius says it is a sign that the worst may be behind us. The same is not true for Orange County. "Orange County is still searching for its true bottom," said Moenius. "The Inland Empire has overshot it a little bit." Their analysis is the result of them looking at past patterns of housing data and predicting what would happen if everything stayed along the current course. It does not try to manipulate the data or situations to much to give a more accurate prediction. "It's pretty much a hands off analysis," said Moenius. The only way the forecast could be off is if there is a major change to the economy such as the presi- dent's recent jobs bill having a larger than expected positive af- fect, a significant increase in oil prices, or a natural disaster. The analysis is also unique be- cause it looks at the housing data of each area taking into account Inland Empire Community Newspapers • September 15, 2011 • Page A7 Walk unites community, rekindles hope By Naima Ford experience that is scary and unfa- miliar to most.

Route 66 Rendezvous revs up Thursday - Sunday IECN ARCHIVE PHOTOS The Route 66 Rendezvous re- turns this Thursday to transform downtown San Bernardino into a car lover's mecca. S tater Bros. Route 66 Ren- dezvous is a special event that incorporates nostalgia and family entertainment with an icon of southern California lifestyle. It debuted in 1990 as a one-and-a-half day event at Glen Helen Park and was produced by the San Bernardino Convention & Visitors Bureau (SBCVB). The Bureau created and owns the Route 66 Rendezvous name and registered trademark. The event has grown each year and now at- tracts over 500,000 spectators. The SBCVB's primary objective is to have a positive impact on the San Bernardino region through tourism by creating special events that encourage overnight stays. With the Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous the goal is to develop mutually beneficial relationships with corporate sponsors that share our vision and values while bene- fiting from their association with the event. Designed as an economic devel- opment project, the Rendezvous now generates over $44 million for local economy. Vehicle participa- tion has grown from 300 classic cars, hot rods, customs, muscle cars and sport cars to the limited 1,700 vehicles with each partici- pant receiving a reserved parking space. Many local non-profit edu- cational and charitable organiza- tions are given the opportunity to participate, earning dollars for their respective community proj- ects. San Bernardino is centrally lo- cated as the transportation hub of Southern California. Prominently mentioned in Bobby Troup's im- mortal 1946 hit song, Get Your Kicks on Route 66, San Bernardino embodies the Southern California spirit with orange groves, beautiful mountains and palm trees. The mystique goes back to San Bernardino's legendary "E" Street, which was also designated as US Route 66. During the cruisin' era, "E" street was hopping with cool cars and great music. During the Rendezvous, the nostalgia contin- ues.
