Friday’s column brings the news that the netting over the six-story Chase Bank in downtown Pomona is gone after two years (!). The picture above was shot by me on Thursday; the picture below was shot in late 2010 by my colleague Jennifer Cappuccio Maher.

After that news comes briefs from around Pomona, a few restaurant notes and reaction from two prominent Claremont women about the lack of women on the March City Council ballot.
