Claremont v. Pomona, Again

Pomona City Councilman Stephen Atchley was none to pleased by all the youngsters joking around about Claremont's proposed Anschluss of Pomona land for the sake of a new Claremont police station. I feel his anger, but...

Let me moderate this debate.

Is Claremont laughably arrogant? Yes.

Is Pomona embarrassingly insecure? Yes.

There. Everyone happy?

I'm surprised that no one has paid much attention to the fact that we caught some Claremont gadflies planning their next move on the homegrownbud online forums:

it wont be hard to put a damper on them with our big sign outside as they walk in. plus, when you wave and say high with a big smile, really tweaks the straights. our plan is to make them so uncomfortable, it drives them nuts. it is a very rich college town, and they don't like anything that disturbs their perfect order.

And by the way, despite the fact that the city quickly filters out our emails as spam, it does appear that we get some visitors from Pomona City Hall regardless. Go figure.
