It lies at the bass of the San Bernardino Mountains. That gives you access to some killer terrain. Hiking, mountain biking, camping in the summer/fall. Snowboarding in the winter/spring. You're about an 1 hr to 1.5 hours to the beach from there.

Frank has a song about it.

Frank Zappa - San Ber'dino Lyrics

She lives in Mojave in a Winnebago
His name is Bobby, he looks like a potato

She's in love with a boy
From the rodeo
Who pulls the rope on the chute
When they let those suckers go
(Yeah-hey! Suckers!)

He got slobberin' drunk at the Palomino
They give him thirty days in San Ber'dino

Well there's forty-four men
Stashed away in Tank "C"
An' there's only one shower
But it don't apply to Bobby

You may think they're
Dumb an' lonely
But you're wrong
'Cause their love is strong
Stacked-up hair
An' a cheap little ring
They don't care
'Cause it don't mean a thing

Looka there . . .
They don't care

Best-est way that
They can feel-o
Out on the highway
Rollin' a wheel-o
He's her Tootsie
She's for real-o
Trailer park heaven
It's a real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o

The rest of their lives
In San Ber'dino
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
In San Ber'dino
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
Down in San Ber'dino
Come on with me
Come on with me
Come on with me
Down in San Ber'dino
Just 60 miles, 60 miles
Down the San Ber'dino freeway
They got some dark green air
An' you can choke all day
That's right!
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
Rest of their lives
Rest of their lives

Say now,
Ain't talkin' 'bout Fontana
Ain't talkin' 'bout uh uh
Ain't talkin' 'bout uh uh
Ain't talkin' 'bout uh uh
Ain't talkin' 'bout the Redlands, no no
ZULCH is the auto works
I'm tellin' you
That's where they take
All the cars that they hurt
Come on and let's all go down to San Ber'dino
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Let's-a go down down down
Down in San Ber'dino
Wouldja b'lieve it
Wouldja b'lieve it now, come on
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
(Got to call it)
San Ber'dino
(C'mere)
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
San Ber'dino
(Oh, God, they all stay there)
The rest of their lives
In San Ber'dino

Oh Bobby, I'm sorry you gotta head like a potato
I really am
(Ketchup!)

Where Ozzfest is held. San Bernadino county contains Ontario which contains the Ontario Mills Mall which contains the last remaining Kenny Roger's Roasters in the USA.

In a recent thread I read that you can't drink in public in most places around California. Assuming that San Bernadino follows this horrific pattern, I'd say it sucks like all the other places in California where you can't drink in public. I'm now going to turn to my bartender and tell him I need a go cup for my pitcher and head out.

I know that Ken Griffey, Jr. played minor league ball there. I only know that because I still have some of his minor league card sets from San Ber'dino. I lived near Seattle his rookie year and I was a nut about him. Not so much anymore.

I think it was jonathanD that promised/threatened to leave. Not sure if he/she/it is going to San Berdoo.
And I believe they have construction there.

I like the Eagles of Death Metal song of that name.

Edit: it's actually called San Berdoo Suntan

Tapping time with one good finger
I got this girlfriend and she's a swinger
We make plans and then
We head out to San Bernardino
We get gas at the local P & M
Buy a coke in a can made of tin
We drink fast because
We're headed out west to San Bernardino

And we shall miss Carolina
And the east coast as opposed to the west
But we won't shed any tears though
Nor even be sad because we know
The western desert is the best

I filled a bag with cigarettes and apple wine
We'll hit the road again at 10 minutes to 9
Me and this girl I think she's pregnant
And we're headed to San Bernardino

And then when we hit Texas
We'll stop in Amarillo for a bite to eat
We'll stop on over in Dallas
And visit my friend but we can't stay
For more than a week

I've got the south in my veins
But California in my mouth
And that's the simple reason
Why I'm leaving the south
Me and this girl and she's so foxy
And we're heading to San Bernardino

That was close
We crossed the Tennessee state border
They would've locked us up by the sheriff's order
Yes we're freaks, but they can't touch us
Out west in San Bernardino

And we shall miss Carolina
And the east coast as opposed to the west
But we won't shed any tears though
Nor even be sad because we know
The western desert is the best

I filled a bag with cigarettes and apple wine
We'll hit the road again at 10 mintues to 9
Me and this girl and she's so foxy
And we're headed to San Bernardino
