For this issue, we’re all in with the number 12, which seems appropriate given what year it is. With an assist from several community leaders, we’ve identified 12 things to look for in Riverside through the end of 2012. The list includes building projects, major initiatives, new businesses and the mayoral election. During his recent State of the City address, Mayor Ron Loveridge outlined 12 goals he has for his final months in office. His list squared perfectly with our theme, so we included those as well. Others were kind enough to contribute their 12s: health and fitness expert Karla Adams, private wealth adviser Linda L. Itzen and author Sonja Lyubomirsky. And Allan Borgen, our restaurant writer who has dined out all over Riverside, selects 12 of his favorite places to enjoy a meal. While we’re on the topic of eating, it’s 12, so I’m going to lunch.
