Why are they Letting Street Vendors Take Over Sidewalks?

Dear editor,

Why are they are letting street vendors take over are side walks they say the Spanish people are helping people on streets, no they’re not why can't they pop up a building and sell food from there. They have they’re own restaurant instead of crowding our sidewalks. My kids and us have to step out in the streets to walk around, what if blacks Chinese people Muslim and every other race took over the side walks, would that be ok? Pomona is looking like a town that's making people decide they don't want to live here Pomona use to be a place where it's ok to walk to the grocery store are clothing stores are take your kids for a walk, with one baby in the stroller now you can't it's so crowded you can't walk down the sidewalk anymore, and it's starting to get more crowded we're you can barely see the stores are the driveway s to pull in. When is Pomona going to stand up for other residents that been living in Pomona for so many years, please change this before Pomona turns into just a vendor street food town , taking away the beauty of Pomona the reason people come to move to Pomona, right now it's not Pomona it's like Spanish Mexico city, the view is like Mexican.

Vague Idea

Dear editor,

When I heard of the Pomonan, I had a vague idea of what exactly it was. Someone told me it was a newspaper and well needed, but it is far from that. The articles you publish are TRASH! Who do you think you are, Mr. Julian? Publishing an article about prostitution being a part of poverty??? It’s a choice you morons! On top of that have try to incorporate art as if you guys know anything about art!


I am so sick of you people and this “progressive” bullshit! The Pomonan should go away!

Embarrassment to every person living in Pomona.

Dear Editor,

The situation I describe is my opinion, and an embarrassment to every person living in Pomona.

Pomona has been destroyed by drugs for years. The police and the power structure ignored this dire situation to the point drug addicted zombies walk our main streets as they look for their next fix or sit in groups of three or four with needles in their necks or arms. All while the Pomona Police speed past them to the next Lions Club or Community meeting to receive a pat on their backs and and told they are doing a great job, (that’s a crime in itself.)

Whom do we have to thank for the most recent surge in drug addiction sweeping our streets, our Mayor Tim Sandoval who with the help of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) brought marijuana dispensaries to Pomona. They did not have the foresight to understand how bringing more drugs into a already drug ridden city would only make this out of hand situation a whole lot worse. One side note to this Mafia type move by Tim and his gang is that our fine Mayor now owns a home in Santa Barbara for his help in making Pomona the drug capital of LA County!

So when you’re going to Holt Ave to pick up your prescription at Walgreens. You have Mayor Sandoval to thank for addicts freely using crack and marijuana in front of the entrance to the store. You can choose to look the other way or you can choose to fight against Mr. Sandoval and his Mafia in the next election!
