San Bernardino City,
I have been a San Bernardino City resident for 30 years. I was born in St. Bernardine’s hospital and I
love this city very much. It really breaks my heart to see it falling apart. I would go to the Carousel
Mall frequently as a child with my family. I remember riding the train that would toot around the
lobby of the mall, and of course that magical Carousel. I will never forget riding that carousel with all
members of my family, even my dad would hop on to enjoy it with us. It was a huge form of joy in
our lives and the lives of the families in our community. Our city has always been humble, not having
much except each other and these incredible views of the mountains and trees that surround us.
Nothing would make me happier than to see this mall restored to its fullest potential with its original
name and with a beautifully restored carousel. Our community deserves this, we deserve a new
chance at an abundant and happy life here.
