CITYSPOON

Recently I took a trip to Pomona to visit one of my favorite friends and Tattoo Artist Nickhole Arcade and it was a complete suprise. Growing up in LA the one thing I knew Pomona for was the LA County Fair. I never realized what kind of scene that city has. She tattoos at a Tattoo Shop called Ink’d Chronicles. But that’s a whole different story.
The real story is the town of Pomona. Just 3 hours away from our home base in Las Vegas. Pomona was incorporated in 1888. It has a rich past and exciting future where at times we don’t expect to find these gems glistening if you don’t stop to take in the sights. What was exciting was pulling into town and seeing all the people out and about, not all dressed up just being themselves. Music all around. Arts and culture everywhere. That’s what drew me to love this city. What really gets me too are all the antique shops. I wish we had the time to go to every one. Arg. Another time.

Pomona’s got this great Artwalk that we were fortunate enough to check out. It occurs every second Saturday of the month. It’s just like Las Vegas’ First Friday.
The moral of this story is: Don’t count out the diamonds in the rough. I can’t wait to have cityspoon.com there.
