Is there anything to do in downtown Riverside, CA on a Sunday night?
I will be traveling with a group of college students this Sunday night and I am looking for activities or events in/around downtown Riverside or near the UCR campus. We are looking for something that is not food or alcohol related.

riverside is a dump the only thing you can do there is meth and get an std
2 :
the first guy was correct.. you can visit one of the many local meth houses.. the 909 sux excuse me the 951.... riverside is still a shit hole even with another area code
3 :
Well first of all, Riverside isn't the 909, so I wouldn't necessarily listen to those guys. I'm not really sure what goes on near Mission Inn on Sundays, but it is always nice to see the Mission Inn. Also, off Central Avenue, there is the Riverside Plaza, with a movie theater and shops. Normally on the weekends they have bands playing as well. It is always nice to go and hang out there in the evenings :]
4 :
The only non-food or non-alcohol related would be a movie and the theaters are not in the downtown area. There is a somewhat older theater complex at the shopping center on University near the campus, just west of the 60/215 freeway.

To be competitive for intercampus transfer, you should complete the general education and major prerequisite requirements at UCR prior to the end of your sophomore year. The UC reciprocity agreement allows you to use the requirements from UCR to fulfill the requirements at UCD. Transfer admission is selective by major and Biochemistry is a very popular major at UCD; therefore the admit rate is a bit lower compared to other majors. When you apply, be sure to specify an alternate major outside of College of Biological Sciences to ensure successful transfer.

Yes it's feasible - it's not that big. I was quite disappointed when we visited it last year, to be honest. Morro Bay is the closest town to stay in and it's boring as hell. The whole town closes up by about 8:00 at night except for the theater - which plays ONE movie. ((((yawn))))

*_~ So glad that you're considering San Francisco for your vacation. Try to stay in Union Square. When you arrive at the airport, take the SFO air train that goes around the airport, then you’ll get off when you see Bart, take Bart to Powell Station (should be about $6-9 and it takes 20 mins ) that’s Union Square. http://www.bart.gov/ for schedule.. I just love the weather and the diverse culture here!! Traffic can be hectic but still bearable. Public transport is great! You can always take Bart, ferries, bus, taxi or cable car etc. However, if you don’t have much time or want to travel beyond the city – I think a car would help a lot. Yes, you have to pay for parking, but save you time to go more places faster.. Try the “City Sightseeing Open Top Bus Tour†which is about $30. “This unique open-topped bus tour of San Francisco includes four different routes, the Downtown Loop, the Golden Gate Loop, the Park Loop, and the Night Loop.†You're free to hop on and off as often as you want on the downtown loop. Embarcadero is wicked nice, and it's not THAT far, so you could really just walk down it to the Ferry Building. http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/ On Saturdays they do a nice farmer's market and you can get lots of good stuff. Walk down to Pier 39. Check out : Magowan's Infinite Mirror Maze- very cool at Pier 39. GET THE San Franciso POPOUT Maps— I loves these POPOUT map- you get to see where you are- =) No Thinking required, especially on vacation. (Look at the pictures.)

I would stay while you visit Hearst Castle, located in Morro Bay near the water. It is quiet. If you want more activity, you can find a motel in San Luis Obispo. http://www.thetwindolphin.com/
4 :
Driving up from Riverside and getting back in one day would be a long haul, especially given the time it takes to navigate the slower stretches of Hwy 1 along the coast and weekend traffic jams through LA County. The drive alongside the ocean north of LA is beautiful, especially when you follow Hwy 101 north of Ventura to Santa Barbara and take Hwy 1 from San Luis Obispo to Hearst Castle (don't miss a quick detour along Moonstone Beach Dr in Cambria). To stay overnight near the castle, the motels in San Simeon is boring. Cambria is an artsy community of mostly retirees, with more expensive hotels by the beach. Morro Bay has the cheapest motels around, as well as a pretty harborfront and a few good eateries. But for the liveliest scene, stay in the student college town of San Luis Obispo, from where it's just over an hour's drive or so up to the castle. Whatever you do, make castle tour reservations in advance! Tickets often sell out in summer. If it's your first time visiting the castle, take tour 1. The other specialty tours are for repeat visitors mostly.

Riverside Transit Agency Routes 1 and 149. Route 1 goes from Dwtn Terminal in Riv to the Corona Metrolink via Magnolia Ave. This route has a frequency of every 15 minutes on weekdays. Route 149 goes from Dwtn Terminal to the Village at Orange(O.C. Co) with one stop at Corona via 91 freeway. Metrolink tickets are accepted as a Intaeragency Transfer on RTA routes that connect with it at the station. Corona Cruiser and RTA accept each others bus passes at transfer points. Bus fare is $1.50 each way and day pass is $4. Its too bad Sunline Transit Agency no longer does the Sunlink Commuter Service. It used to go from PS to Riv early in the morning and late in the afternoon.

About Where is a cool place to have a big party thrown at here in Southern California
Where is a cool place to have a big party thrown at here in Southern California?
My wife is turning 30, and we want to have a big party. Maybe 50 people. We are trying to think of having it at a different and cool place. We live in Riverside, CA, but would travel as far as maybe 45 minutes to have it. Our budget I guess would be under a $1k. Whether it's just a cool place to hang out and eat, or just drink and dance.

That's actually not a lot of money for fifty people so the higher end places might be out of the question because you can't really control what people are going to order. You might try Ketchup on Sunset, or Rush Street in Culver City (you can rent the entire upstairs which has a beautiful heated balcony), Shanghai Red's has a great view of the Marina and so does Port O'Call which has private rooms and is located in San Pedro.
2 :
You've got Ontario Mills and Victoria Gardens. You can go online and find out which restaurants can hold that many people at one sitting. Then search for clubs in the area. After dinner some will want to leave so the group will be smaller and easier to manage if you go to a club. Plus if you don't want to drive home you can get a room close by. Sound like the perfect evening to me!

There is this huge castle in the IE (Riverside) to throw parties. I'm not sure on specifics. And I think its a bit pricy. But its gotta be cool to have a party in a castle. http://www.benedictcastle.com/events Mission Inn is pricy too. But I think you can throw events at one of their restaurants. And the Mission Inn in Riverside is really beautiful on the inside. http://www.missioninn.com/rooms-virtual-tour-restaurants.htm For dancing. The Sevilla night club in Riverside allows you to throw birthday parties in their club. I am not sure about the price though. I don't know if its expensive. I'm sure it is though. http://www.sevillanightclub.com/riverside/index.php Dave and Buster's at Ontario Mills is a pretty cool place to throw a party. Eat, drink, play arcade games, watch sports on the millions of tvs, play pool.. its really fun there. http://www.daveandbusters.com/specialevents/default.aspx I've seen birthdays at Mi Tortilla in Riverside. Mexican food is pretty good there too. http://www.mitortillamexicangrill.com/locations/ I've also seen parties at Castle Park in Riverside, kind of a kids thing though. http://www.castlepark.com/groups.html Hope that helped. Good luck with everything.
