Today's riddle: Why do Norway's navy ships all have barcodes? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Redlands' Annual 'Plane-Or-Treat' Halloween Celebration Takes Off Oct. 25 (patch.com) — Families in Redlands can look forward to the free Plane-or-Treat Halloween celebration at Redlands Municipal Airport on Oct. 25, featuring candy and family-friendly activities. The city is shifting festivities away from Olive Avenue to ease traffic and safety concerns, and will still close that street briefly on Halloween night for public safety. Residents are encouraged to enjoy the new airport-based tradition while helping reduce neighborhood impacts.
2. Redlands Chamber's Annual Dog Jog Returns Oct. 25 (patch.com) — Redlands residents and their dogs can hit the path together when the Redlands Chamber of Commerce's 9th annual Dog Jog returns Oct. 25, starting and ending at Smiley Park. The event blends fitness with community spirit, with half of ticket sales supporting the Redlands Animal Shelter, giving locals a chance to help local pets while enjoying a fall morning outdoors.
3. Domestic Dispute Turns Violent In Redlands (patch.com) — A violent domestic dispute in Redlands led to a Mentone man's arrest on attempted murder, domestic violence, and vandalism charges after he allegedly rammed his ex-girlfriend's car near the Redlands Temple and later crashed into another vehicle. Police say he abandoned his car near Moore Middle School before being arrested at home, and they're asking anyone with information to contact Redlands Police or use the city's online reporting tools.
4. Redlands Public Market adds 53 free parking spaces for customers (communityforwardredlands.com) — If you visit Redlands Public Market, you now have 53 new free parking spaces at the former LOOK Cinemas lot, plus short-term pickup spots on Third Street and nearby city parking options. The change comes as Redlands officials rethink a shelved new parking lot and plan for fewer spaces once the former Redlands Mall site is redeveloped, keeping downtown access a key concern.
5. Family of California Cruise Passenger Who Jumped to His Death Breaks Silence in Heartbreaking Post (pulptastic.com) — A Redlands family is mourning 56-year-old Thomas Gigler, who went overboard from a Carnival cruise ship last month during an anniversary trip and is presumed dead. Relatives have launched a GoFundMe to help his widow, Michelle, cover memorial costs, household expenses, and future education needs for their three sons while she navigates legal and financial delays.
