About Redlands' readers have had wonderful ongoing conversations surrounding our article “10 Redlands Restaurants We Miss!” Commenters requested a follow-up spotlight on these 10 restaurants from more recent history. Happy to oblige.

About Redlands is unlike any business you have ever seen before. We are not the City, and we do not fit your typical marketing or community support mold. We are a whole new animal! Let us explain...

Pup’s Parlor, opened in January, 2020, is a unique pet grooming salon.

From supporting local, independent artisans to actually saving money (I know, I’ll explain), there are some serious perks to custom furniture that you might be overlooking!

In 2020, the world as we knew it slowed down and stopped, giving way to a new world of uncertainty and, at times, isolation and loneliness. Our entire way of life has been disrupted. Yet, there lies at least one opportunity amid this upheaval: we now have more time for each other and for nature.

O’Flanary’s Emporium is a gift shop/painting classroom on West State Street, Redlands (a couple doors west of Saverino’s Italian Deli). Judy Coates, the owner and internationally acclaimed art teacher and speaker, named her business after her grandparents.

Hands On Knitting Center is a fiber arts store which opened in 2011. There, one discovers natural yarns and fibers of both animal and plant origin, many of which are machine washable.  There are also patterns, pattern books, and the tools (needles, hooks, looms) necessary to create sweaters, socks, scarves, shawls, hats, gloves, cuffs – you name it. Since weaving looms are expensive, the Center offers looms for rent, so one can try a weaving project without having to purchase a loom.
