Downtown Upland

  

click photo to enlarge		 I have been living in Upland for over 9 years now and have never taken any pictures of the downtown area. It was a beautiful winter morning with snow up on the mountains so why not. Sunday mornings in downtown are pretty empty as shown in these pictures. Upland has about 70,000 people and was once named North Ontario, it was incorporated in 1906.
