From the 500 artworks donated by Cheech Marin to his startup museum in Riverside, about 100 were on view for the first year. Now another 64 are on display, along with 22 holdovers, for the second-year show, “Cheech Collects: Anniversary Edition.” I walk through the exhibit with the curator and sit down with Marin for a chat. The results are in my Sunday column.

Here’s a little backstory: I interviewed Marin in mid-June at the museum’s anniversary event and wrote about the anniversary, intending to return to those notes for a follow-up on the show. It took longer than I intended, with interruptions for travel and a zillion other columns, but finally I pulled it off.

The volunteer group Friends of Mount Rubidoux, around since 1994, isn’t sure what its future may be, if any, as their goals have been accomplished. The last is that the documentary they commissioned to tell the mountain’s story is done and ready for its premiere on Sunday. I write about the film and about Friends in my Friday column.

Riverside’s old Farm House Motel was a charming motor court that has been vacant and fenced off for 15 years. But it’s now the site of construction, as a local developer is converting it into a series of small shops and eateries. I check out the motel for my Sunday column.
