Progress takes time
Today marks my third year covering Rancho for the Daily Bulletin. Back then, the city had just one library, one Macy's and one Chipotle.
Maybe I'm egotistical but I'd like to think that I've had a visible presence in this community, at least in places I cover like City Hall. Imagine my surprise when I got mail from the city's building and safety division today that was addressed to the Progress Bulletin.
The Prog, as you might know, was the Pomona based paper before it merged with the Daily Report to become the Daily Bulletin in 1990. Either someone at City Hall made a typo or they haven't changed their address labels in more than 18 years.
By the way, before the Prog, there was the Pomona Weekly Times, which first went to publication 126 years ago this month. History columnist Joe Blackstock wrote about it last year. If the PWT was still around, I wonder if it would have bloggers.

Happy third anniversary. Keep up the good work!
