In today’s Scoop:

🎄 La Verne Lights the Season
✨ Where Craft Coffee Meets Holiday Spark
🎁 Jolly Happenings Around Foothills
💫 Glendora, Go Get Your Cheer Fix
Classic Coffee is that rare coffee shop where every detail feels intentional: from artisan-roasted beans to a menu that spans turmeric chai, Scottish Caramel Pu-Erh, and even sugar-free stevia white chocolate mochas.
Their holiday drinks bring extra cheer, with peppermint mochas, gingerbread lattes, pumpkin crème brûlée, and the festive Holly Jolly drawing steady crowds.
Add in their beloved coffee flights, community-driven events, and rotating discounts for locals, and you’ve got a place where great drinks meet genuine heart.
The kind of café that invites you to settle in… and somehow you don’t mind staying longer than planned.

🎢 Dollywood Buys Raging Waters San Dimas
The Gist: Country music icon Dolly Parton's entertainment company just acquired Raging Waters in San Dimas, plus Boomer's locations in Irvine and Industry and Castle Park in Sherman Oaks. This marks Dollywood's first expansion into Southern California and makes them the nation's fourth-largest theme park owner.
Why It Matters: Your favorite local water park and family fun spots now have some serious star power and investment backing behind them. No word yet on changes coming to the parks, but expect potential upgrades and maybe some Southern charm mixed with SoCal vibes.
🎄 La Verne Kicks Off Holiday Season with Tree Lighting Magic
The Gist: Mayor Tim Hepburn flipped the switch on La Verne's 25-foot Christmas tree earlier this month at City Hall, officially launching the holiday season. Bonita High School Chamber Singers filled the air with carols while Santa and Mrs. Claus surprised families by arriving on a city fire truck.
Why It Matters: This beloved annual tradition brings the whole community together to celebrate the season and creates magical memories for local kids.
