A Bit About OurLosBanos.com:
Our Humble Contribution To The Los Banos community

OurLosBanos.com is a community resource provided to you by a husband and wife team. Our Los Banos is presented to the community as a free gift, both to our neighbors and to the people visiting our community.

We hope you enjoy 'opinion journalism' with an interactive twist. Though this site is based totally on our own opinions, our goal is to bring a unique community-enhanced approach to local information exchange via community participation on the forums.

We have created a tremendous number of of pages for this site and have spent many hundreds (possibly even a couple of thousand) hours on this 'gift'. We see OurLosBanos.com (in part) as our version of service to our community. We really do love our town and want to help Los Banos by giving something back to our city in our own small way.

Of course, there is absolutely no charge to use this site or to participate on our forums.

OurLosBanos.com consists of two main sections, one is the General Information Section, the other is the Community Forums / opinion discussions section.

The Two Objectives of OurLosBanos.com

Foster & Encourage Positive Community Discussion
Provide Detailed Opinionated Information About Los Banos Ca.

The Los Banos Online Forums -
Your Opportunity to Participate!

Come join the community!

We are pleased to offer the people of Los Banos (and others who are interested) a set of online discussion forums / bulletin boards where people are encouraged to participate and share their own opinions about Los Banos!

Like this whole site, use of the forums/bulletin boards is completely free of charge!

Having a place where people interested in our town can come to voice their opinions, make friends, and help each other is a key concept and the real hope of OurLosBanos.com and our vision for the community. We have already seen some excellent examples of community building via the forums and we hope this will continue.

We invite those who can follow the forum rules to participate on the boards.

Our intention is that the Los Banos Forum Section will provide a place where members of the Community and others who are interested in the city can interact in a positive and cooperative way with each other and discuss numerous topics.

The forum is a place to make friends, talk about events and politics, debate a little and generally just have a good time.

There are also places to post FREE advertisements and want ads on the forum. This is a great resource if you are having a garage sale or are looking to find or sell personal property.

There are discussion boards devoted to politics, 'important issues', Los Banos city events, commuting, real estate, parenting, employment, sales, want ads and more!

We consider the Online Forums to be the real heart and soul of this website.

We encourage YOU to come and participate! Select this link to visit the Los Banos Bulletin Board!

Information Section -
Discover Los Banos Info Quickly

The Informational Section of OurLosBanos.com (part of which you are reading now) is a rich and detailed resource intended to give site visitors an overview of our opinions about the City of Los Banos California and, more importantly, to provide avenues for learning more information about our town.

This general informational section includes hundreds of pages of information on parks, real estate, recreation, churches, public education and schools, homeschooling resources, a guide to moving to Los Banos, government contact points, jobs / employment and some information on public safety. There is also an extensive section on Community Clubs, Groups, Orders, & Organizations

We also provide Los Banos maps, photos, a downtown shopping directory, an overview of Los Banos history, local weather information , dining information and restaurant reviews, and a thorough Los Banos calendar of events.

There is also a portion of the site we call "Our Town" which is a catchall section for neat things that do not fit in some of the other categories.

Of course no site would be complete without direct editorial opinions - and we share our personal viewpoints freely throughout the site but especially on our opinion blog which features an ever expanding "What This Town Needs" series of opinion pieces.

We hope to provide website visitors with a 'one stop shop' where they can find leads, direct information, and importantly links to other sites relating to Los Banos and our community.

To explore our opinions in the informational section of OurLosBanos.com, select any of the links in the above paragraphs or any of the buttons on the left side of this page. Take your time and explore this site! We think you'll find some nice surprises.
