Voting in Pomona

[rcmike]

If you are anywhere near the Fairplex, they have like 150 voting machines. About 20 people to sign you in.

There were 4 people voting.

If you are an LA county voter and want to vote with no waiting, go to the Fairplex. Enter off McKinnley, where you would go for the NHRA museum. They take you into the bottom of the horse racing stands, and seriously, so many machines. I was in and out in 5 minutes.

I grew up in San Dimas in the 70's. Pomona is where we would go to score beer on Friday nites.

Back in my day no one admitted they lived in Pomona, “oh I live in Phillips Ranch not Pomona”

I tried claiming Pomona for street cred... everyone told me to shut up because I grew up in Phillips Ranch. I couldn’t win

I grew up in what I thought was a pretty good part of Pomona, (Westmont) we only had three drive-by shootings on our street when I lived there.

Does anybody remember when they blow up the cave and damaged a bunch of homes, I’m thinking this was back in the 70s but I don’t remember I can’t even remember the name of the cave. What a shit show

Good family friends the bordenaves live with there. Spent a lot of times up in those hills

What is the worst area ???

My old shop was one block south of Holt (Crack Whore Blvd) down by the Edison yard and Pomona Auto Parts...sketchy as hell working late nights. Dead hooker across the street one Saturday morning. Stollen cars left in the lot. Cops would always light me up in my F350 late at night on Holt...it was too nice, so I must be selling drugs or pimpin' ho's. It was an adventure...

When I was in high school we would hang at that cave some girl got murdered there then the city hired some jack wagon to blow it up used enough dinamite to blow it to the corona expressway it was like 1970

I always found a cave kind of creepy as a kid, what I remember was kids were up there picking away at the side walls and rocks fell down and killed a kid.

I think it was elephant mountain or something like that

I was thinking it might be that but I thought elephant Mountain was the one where the police shooting range was over by the dog pound.

my first job was at APC, is that place still there?

oddly enough my next-door neighbor in Havasu had an electric auto electric shop on 2nd street.

actually El Unico is very good, give it a try. It's on the s/w Corner of mission and town. chix'n good, mulitas good, food good. haha
I haven't been to Trop/mex in decades, literally. A contractor friend recently mentioned going there for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised to hear it was still open. I'll have to make a point to get over there again soon. In the early 90's it was great food and margaritas, beers etc. Just a bit sketchy for a group of young whities leaving the place on a fri/sat night full, liquored up and happy.

Wildercraft....what a blast from the past. Good group of smart and talented people over there.
Some time after Ross's passing I went over there to inquire about a yellow hull and the mold Mary was trying to sell but she wanted more than I felt it was worth at that time. I ended up buying 2 pop-off valves, a dozen or so Berk C bowls, some just cut, some converted, (still have 2 I think) 8 holley carb bodies, some cables, a bucket seat mold and a bunch of other misc. stuff from his son (david?). I forget his name but he was in rough shape back then. I'd hate to think what's happened to him since. He was a nice guy but he was crashing quickly it seemed. I hope he got saved at some point before he really hurt himself. It was sad.
What was the head porters name there? Ricky Green comes to mind?

to the O.P.
Thanks for the heads up on that, will head over there shortly.

Hey, I was only one decade off. I meant to say I remembered it happening sometime in the 70s but I guess it was the 80s not 1970.
