‘Living On the Dime’ will tell stories of the people and the land from San Bernardino and Riverside, two counties that make
up the region popularly known as the ‘Inland Empire’. Specifically, a stretch of Interstate 10 that runs through the population center of one county and the rapidly changing rural fringe of the other, from Rialto to Blythe, California.

It is also a story of sacrificing rivers of earth, stone, and water to construct a new ‘river’, a river of technology, concrete, and steel that has served to increase wealth and centralize development, replacing and in some cases obliterating communities, and altering migration and transportation routes throughout the region.

Many residents including descendants of the earliest inhabitants and the most recent arrivals will relate their stories. These stories will form the basis for a narrative looking at perceptions of the region, its people, and the physical landscape, a narrative that will be incorporated in project activities and presented to the public throughout the region.
