[edit] Winternats

Would it be too much to ask to name the raceway, rather than the event? Trekphiler 13:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commentary in Demographics Section

"Encyclopedic content must be verifiable". This phrase is strategically placed at eye's veiw when you are editing, as to prevent the type of unverfiable babble that plagues this article, particularly the Demographics portion. Such phrases as "There is a historically significant concentration of blacks in the northern part of town, although many of them have continued to move east to places like Rialto and Riverside" is just the type of unfounded and arrogant assertion that I am referring to. It reads like a conversation with the town "know-it-all", full of pointless misinformation spouted off as if they are facts. If it cant be verified, it will be deleted. 69.225.127.48 06:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Claim about prostitution

• Pomona is known as the "Pimpin Capital" of California due to its significant prostitution industry.

^ this is true, please stop editing it to make Pomona look more child friendly. Prostitution is rampant. --24.69.9.116

Although it sounds like you may be an expect on this topic for something like this we'll need an independent reference. MarsRover 07:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Pomona has had problems with prostitution, but plenty of cities do. What makes Pomona the "capital"? I see more prostitutes in Fresno and Riverside (just for example) than I do in Pomona. Find a source for this, and perhaps then it will be appropriate for the entry. --ThePOWERtoRULE 20:27, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I have lived in Pomona my whole life (im 26) and it is well known that Holt Ave. is infamous for prostitution, and I would frequently hear about police busts there. I have ever only seen a prostitute on the street once, but then again, i'm not out looking for them. (Viewport 19:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] EDUCATION?

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't there a Devry Institute in Pomona, Ca.? --Camel20

next to Cal Poly Pomona --MarsRover 03:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Two sections full of trivia is too much. "Narcissism is the pride of Pomona." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.131.66.162 (talk) 21:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
