Riverdale Acres to Riverside

I had an interesting email from Loren Meissner this past week about how his family got to Riverside from Riverdale Acres back in the 1930s before Limonite Avenue was built from Van Buren through to Riverview Drive. Here is what he said:

 I seem to remember that Limonite was extended east of Van Buren (at Pedley) and up over the hill toward Mission Blvd by WPA labor, mostly shovels and wheelbarrows – nobody wanted to bring in big earth moving machinery, cuz the whole point was to make jobs.

Before that, to go from Riverdale Acres to Riverside (vicinity of Mt Rubidoux) we would go N on Etiwanda to Jurupa (part way to Bellegrave), then E all the way to Mission Blvd at Sunnyslope. But now we could take Limonite all the way from Etiwanda to Mission Blvd.
