I <3 Pomona

Really, I do. It's a cool, screwed up city (Recall the Bulletin's "Troubled Town" logo for Pomona stories) that -- during my two years at the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin -- seemed to suffer a chronic lack of leadership.

Pasadena and Pomona share some historical parallels, but whereas the Crown City rode a wave of gentrification to financial prosperity through effective development policies, Pomona has just kind of languished. Pasadena Denver Lane, the local Bloods gang franchise, even has a presence there.

This brings me to today's story by Frank Girardot (Dude, hands off me sources! D:<) about Foothill Cities blog getting a lawyer-gram from P-town's City Hall.

Given the blog's moxy, I was surprised when they immediately complied and pulled down the posts regarding rumors behind one city employee's departure. Everyone knows such things are to post and ridicule.

Apparently anonyscribes Publius and Centinel were getting lawyered-up as well.
