Friday, May 9th, 2008There’s a million things I’d love to write about. Sadly, the sun goes down (and comes up) much too quickly. So, here’s 9 (count ‘em, 9!) links you really should take a look at…
Xavier Alvarez: Guilty and a Claremonster
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008This is a story that I’m woefully behind on noting, but better late than never. As the Insider notes:
KABC Channel 7 news had a story today about Xavier Alvarez, the Three Valleys Municipal Water District boardmember who was in a downtown Los Angeles federal court this morning to face a misdemeanor charge of lying about […]
Claremont Folk Festival on Saturday Poorly Described
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Ryan Colditz blogs for LA Weekly about the upcoming Claremont Folk Festival:
Get the folk out of the city on Saturday and mosey on over to Clarmont (just a few miles past the Glass House in Pomona) for the 28th Annual Claremont Folk Music Festival, held at Sycamore Elementary School. Sounds boring, right?
Actually, when you put […]
City of Claremont to Establish Secret Ganja Vendor for Police Chief
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Or at least that’s what I got out of reading the first two grafs of this story:
The city released a draft today of the ordinance that would allow one tightly regulated medical marijuana dispensary to open in the city.
The ordinance would allow dispensaries to sell marijuana only to Claremont residents, establish strict security controls, and […]
Claremont Insider Mans Up
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008The best blog based out of Claremont tells the Courier to man up, then tells itself to man up. Expect Pam Gann to come out publicly criticizing the blog for employing sexist terminology that artificially reinforces archaic gender stereotypes. To the Insider, we say, “Gender-neutral-person up.”
Speaking of Claremont, there’s another laughable chapter in the affordable […]
Free Frozen Yogurt in Claremont
Friday, April 18th, 2008There’s free froyo at Cefiore this afternoon, along with a sweet giveaway. Details after the jump.
Claremont Graduate University Endorses Ken White for CA State Assembly
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Okay, so maybe it’s not an official endorsement, but their news archive has a story on him that begins like this:
Ken White has a common-sense approach to government. Education reform. Renewable energy. Inalienable rights. Neighborhood security. What seem like such straightforward issues aren’t being met at the top level, so he’s decided to run for […]
Claremont to Restrict Beauty
Monday, March 31st, 2008Francisco Vara-Orta’s article in the Los Angeles Times comes out of nowhere:
There may be a little less beauty in downtown Claremont if the City Council pushes through a restrictive ordinance on salons.
Under the proposed ordinance, any new hair, nail, skin care, and tanning salons and day spas in Claremont Village would be restricted to second-floor […]
Cookie Monster Becomes Claremont Mayor
Thursday, March 27th, 2008Full city council meeting roundup over at the Claremont Insider. I’m going to go ahead and cast my vote now for Grinch of the Year Award: Ellen Taylor, would you like a cookie?
This Just In: Retailers Follow the Money
Monday, March 24th, 2008In the course of an interesting article on a looming battle of the grocers, in the SB Sun, Wayne Howard, “agribusiness department chairman at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo” is quoted in a most unfortunate way. On the subject of grocers opening stores in well-to-do neighborhoods, Howard says:
“There’s always more growth where people have money,” […]
Claremont Insider, the New York Times, and the Right to Lie
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008The Claremont Insider has an excellent post up on the continuing saga of Xavier Alvarez (our second-favorite government official whose name includes Alvarez). You gotta love the attention our beloved mustachioed water official is getting…

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008The gunman ended the standoff with a self-inflicted wound.
SWAT Standoff in Claremont
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008SWAT teams are outside a home in Claremont where a man shot his wife and, for a time, held his mother-in-law hostage:
A man has barricaded himself in his house after allegedly shooting his wife early this morning, according to officials.
The Los Angeles Sheriffs Department responded to the home on Baseline Road and Towne Aveune around […]
Public Safety Budgets, Joe Romero, Police and Crime
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Robert Rogers’ DB article contains some interesting factoids:
In Pomona, Police Chief Joe Romero is leery about what the future holds.
He’s set to lose 10 experienced officers, including five detectives, to retirement this year.
Add to that an expected budget crunch, a softening economy and the possibility of waves of new parolees on the streets, and Romero […]
