James Turrell Skyspace is in the Draper Courtyard, Lincoln and Edmunds Buildings, Pomona College…read more which is at the corner of 6th & College Way in the city of Claremont. It can't be seen from the street. You have to keep your eyes open while you search for this hidden site.  I went during the winter break so I parked in their restricted permit only parking lot which is located about 500 feet north of the Skyspace. Not sure if you can park there during the regular school year.  The light show starts about 25 minutes before sunset and ends about 30 minutes after the sun goes down. Also happens at dawn for a longer time period. There is polished, hard marble, long row banquette seating around the perimeter of this art installation to look up at the ceilIng with a square cut out to expose the sky above. There is a multicolour lighting system that tints the ceiling creating a color contrast to the color of the sky.  Depending on the color of the ceiling, the same sky takes on a subtly different color tone. Keep lookIng up, and your mind plays tricks on you so you start to imagine different colors especially along the edge of the rectangular hole.  Also, your perspective of the ceiling & hole changes so illogically the hole and ceiling meld into a unified whole.  I'm sure people will perceive the Skyspace differently due to their mood, physiology, upbringIng, etc. It's meditative, serene, calming. It's incredible like communing with infinity where there are no bounds at the same time so very personal connecting to your inner self.  Unfortunately, an ADHD family that couldn't shut up and stay still and a clueless young couple who didn't even look up at the Skyspace and blabbed throughout the performance ruined the meditative atmosphere.  When attending the Skyspace, SHUT UP, do some introspection, go deep into your psyche in order to find serenity & peace. Many of us Americans are so much into the hype and being "hip" that we lose sight of what gives us health and sanity. Being in a meditative state allows us to heal and recover from life's stresses and anxieties.  Even with the disruptions, I still got snippets of quality time. I can imagine how incredible this art piece would be if silence reigned.  5 stars for a transformative experience.

I booked the Best Ever Food Tour in March 2026 and was very disappointed in the whole experience…read more Our tour guide was unprofessional, unorganized and very frustrating. He not only spoke negatively about AJT but gave the wrong information about the places we visited and skipped some of the itinerary. His directions on where to meet and at what time were so confusing, I couldn't find the exact meeting spot at Tokyo Sky view and was left there. It took him 45 minutes to call me back after I texted him and he actually laughed at me when I was trying to figure out the train system. Don't waste your time, money or energy on this tour company. You're better off figuring it out on your own.

I reached out to Barbara in January to start planning my trip to Cancun to Hotel Xcaret 9/28-10/4…read moreWe were very adamant about the place we wanted to stay at but she gave us cheaper and variety of different resort options. My boyfriend and I took a gamble on the dates we wanted even though she informed us that it would be hurricane season and strongly advised that we include travel insurance. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and was so helpful that I recommended her to my cousin who ended up going on the same trip with us. Barbara even called us months after we put down the deposit to look for a cheaper rate for us. The week before the trip, she mailed out our travel documents and Itinerary. She also made all the reservations at the resort and parks so we didn't have to do anything when we got to Mexico. As a thank you, Barbara even gave us a thank you gift, which was the absolute sweetest. I will definitely be using her again on the next trip, and have already given her information to friends and family.

I heard about the Walking Tours on NPR and decided to check them out this month since it piqued my…read moreinterest. I've been trying to do more local things just to get more acquainted with the IE. I sent out an email to uplandwalkingtours@gmail.com to get more info and Ann (she's the guide) responded very promptly. All I had to do was show up at the steps of the Cooper Museum by 10 am on the day of the tour (which is usually the 2nd Saturday of every month). The day of the tour I arrived 20 minutes beforehand because I was worried about parking, but there was no need to worry, there is plenty of parking there. There is street parking and a lot next to the Museum. You can also bike (it is near the Electric Trail), or take the Metrolink (the station is across the street from the Museum). Getting there is very convenient. The weather was slightly overcast, so it was a perfect day. We walked for about a mile making stops at various locations to get historical information and for some minor reenactments that we all got to participate in. What I loved the most was learning about all of the people. Ann had put together some quotes with a picture of a person. We each picked one out and read them aloud. It really brought the history to life. The stops included a very beautiful Victorian house, the Carnegie Library, a historical fire department building, a bakery (where there is time to grab a snack), and various other locations. I enjoyed all of the gardens and architecture I saw while walking. Ann pointed out a beautiful stained glass window in an empty location that just screams for restoration. After the tour I enjoyed walking around the Cooper Museum. It's small, but has a lot of good exhibits. They had a comic book superhero one that was pretty awesome. I'm definitely going back again and explore some more.

I searched online for local classic limousines and found Byrd Limousines (who is the under the same umbrella as Claremont Vintage Limousines in Rialto so they have the same vehicles). I sent a price inquiry four weeks prior to the event including all the details to the text phone number listed on their Instagram bio and website and spoke to Shelonda over the phone who was pleasant from the start. She made the process quick and easy, including offering mobile payment options which made it even easier to pay the deposit due to make the reservation and eventually the balance the day of service. Based on the options available, I ultimately decided on a 3-hour rental (which includes the driver) and it was more than enough time for the ride there and photos of my teen with the vehicle (note: the 3-hour rental includes travel time for the vehicle to return to their lot which was disclosed from the start, so keep that in mind). I was able to text Shelonda with any questions I had and was promptly responded to. Then on the day of service we met our driver, an older gentleman by the name of Mark, who arrived way before our start time and was also very friendly. He confirmed his arrival via text, rolled out a little red carpet for us to get into the vehicle, offered some snacks and beverages (soda/water) adorably stored in a picnic basket, then asked what music we'd prefer to listen to on a Bluetooth speaker until we agreed on oldies. We chose the yellow Ford Phaeton convertible with the roof closed but it doesn't have windows (this was also disclosed from the start) and for a 45-minute freeway ride, we knew it wasn't the best idea before a major event due to wind but we used a throw blanket to protect the hair and makeup and all was well and definitely entertaining. We arrived safely and on time, and Mark was accommodating every step of the way, asking how we were doing during the drive, and even with moving the vehicle since the venue did not want it stationed near the entrance. Mark happily drove around the roundabout and parked in different spots for the photoshoot we booked and even offered to assist with opening the door as part of the photo ops. He was so kind and so pleasant. He answered questions regarding the vehicle and his personal experience, making everyone (including family that drove in a separate car) feel comfortable which was no surprise due to his warm demeanor. We finished the photoshoot a little early which meant we had the vehicle less than 3 hours but that was no bother. It was not cheap by any means but the investment was worth it because of the service and the once in a lifetime memories I was able to create for my child. Life is short and it should be enjoyed. Thank you to Shelonda and Mark who were both wonderful and I will return for other limo services in the future because of them!
