Welcome

RC Hot Spots is Rancho Cucamonga Hot Spots. A directory of the hottest spots and "best of" Rancho Cucamonga CA.

With a variety of catagories and criteria (admittedly a little silly at times) submitted by ourselves and you!

Rancho Cucamonga is a city in San Bernardino County, California, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 127,743. By July 1, 2002 Census the fast-growing city's population had reached 143,711. By 2008, the city's estimated population had reached 174,308 people.[6] In 2006, Money magazine ranked Rancho Cucamonga as the 42nd best place to live in the U.S.
Dr. Donald J. Kurth was elected as mayor on November 7, 2006. Jack Lam is the city manager.
The city was incorporated in 1977, as a result of a merger among the unincorporated communities of Alta Loma, Cucamonga, and Etiwanda.

In popular media, "Cucamonga" has been recognized as a funny-sounding place name. One of the catch-phrases of the radio show "The Jack Benny Program" involved a train announcer (Mel Blanc) who said over the loudspeaker, "Train now leaving on track five for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cuc... amonga," taking progressively longer pauses between "Cuc" and "amonga." Part of the joke, for the Los Angeles audience, was that no such train route existed, although all three cities (or at the time, towns) do exist. As a tribute to this 'publicity', the city of Rancho Cucamonga built its minor-league baseball stadium on a street they named Jack Benny Way, and erected a bronze statue of the TV host outside of the building's entrance (Coincidentally, Jack Benny Way intersects with Rochester Avenue, which is not named for the character portrayed by Eddie Anderson on "The Jack Benny Program", but was named in 1889 after the hometown of three investors[citation needed], all of whom were brothers from Rochester, New York). In one of his many popular media crossovers, Blanc used that same catch phrase in Daffy Duck's voice in the 1948 Merrie Melodies cartoon "Daffy Duck Slept Here" and later in Bugs Bunny's voice in a 1960s Looney Tunes cartoon.

Rancho Cucamonga is home such nogteable celebrites as KFRG-FM's Donald Jump & Aaron Frogovich. Jump, in the spirit of the Jack Benny jokes, often mentions on his radio show that he has a weekend home at Rancho Cucamonga Beach and spends weekends on Rancho Cucamonga Pier.

Donald is also a well know for his nationally syndicated radio programs, commercial voice work and living in lovely Rancho.

Please suggest catagories and add your input to our posts!
