Historic Perris...? Well...?

Not really much there... But, Old Pasadena was skid row for a while....

A good cowboy bar, and a decent restaurant or two, wouldn't be a bad start...and who knows?

You got to work with what you got....

What they got is the depot, the trains, and people willing to pay money, to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, with a parachute....

I have no problem with turning the Depot and OERM into a better marketed "tourist attraction". One where folks come down to pay good money to ride trains and trolleys, if it can help generate a business model, that will make enough money, increases community and public support to generate financial sponsorships, and donations, that can sustain these collections, and public interest, for future generations.
