Visible damage to the sitting areas, which…read moreappears to be relatively recent (the tile work is damaged, possibly abused by skateboarders or rollerbladers or finally succumbed to the elements over time). I did not spend too much time here to explore, it was just a terminal bus hub to transfer between different SoCal bus services I utilized on my last trip flying to Ontario Airport (the lesser known one in California, not the one in Canada) and heading to LA County. Going on a tangent: So from my personal experience and also to prove that it can be done frugally, I booked the cheapest flight I could find ($20 on Frontier and opted out of all of their up charges for a one-way flight from LAS to ONT) with just my half empty backpack, then $2 for Bus 61 from the airport to this location to catch a transfer on Bus 482 ($1.75) to get to Puente Hills Mall. Time in the air about 50 minutes, and almost 2 hours riding on the buses and waiting for the transfer. The total opposite of glamorous travel, but it is definitely doable. Never did the broke college backpacking overseas routine when I was younger, but I think this qualifies as a similar experience with the aid of apps to plan and navigate your way around. So 3 stars. As a terminal stop for multiple bus lines and routes, this place is definitely A-Ok. And is a scenic location for modeling photoshoot as you can see from the Yelp photos uploaded for this "business".

Pomona station is served by Amtrak's Sunset Limited/Texas Eagle and the Metrolink Riverside Line…read more This is one of two train stations in Pomona, the other being Pomona-North station, which is served by Metrolink's San Bernardino Line. If you visit the Amtrak website and look at the page about Pomona station, you'll see that it describes the station as "Train Station - Platform only (no shelter)" which is strange because when I visited, there was definitely a station building! I peeked through the window and saw a waiting area with benches and a drinking fountain. I tried the door, and it was locked, but then a security guard noticed me and asked me what I needed. I asked if there was a bathroom I could use, and he hesitated and said no and that the station was currently closed, which leads me to think the station does indeed open but probably only right before there's an Amtrak train scheduled to depart or arrive. I was there on a Wednesday at around 8:30 PM whereas the Amtrak train only departs Pomona thrice weekly (on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) and not until 10:41 PM. Anyway, the security guard then told me if I really needed to go, "honestly, I'd just go in the bushes over there." I had a good laugh about this, and I eventually did find a restroom and did not have to go in the bushes. The building itself looks nice from the outside. It's built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with red clay roof tiles and stucco walls, and it feels very southern California. More eye-catching, though, is the pedestrian bridge, which allows you to get from one side of the tracks to the other. There are teal domes adorning either end and similarly colored wrought-iron gating throughout. My research shows that this bridge was a $1.3 million project! In terms of the layout of the tracks, if you're taking a Metrolink train, you actually will NOT be waiting station-side. All Metrolink trains (inbound and outbound) board on the opposite side by W 1st St. Amtrak trains board station-side. Also by the station is the Pomona Transit Center, which is served by several Foothill Transit buses including Silver Streak.

Always feel like there's something new to discover every time I go back.

The race venue was at this dragstrip. It was a nice venue for a race as it was quite spacious and puts you in the mood to run a race! There were several restrooms located underneath the bleachers. The adjacent parking lot was also large enough to accommodate all of the cars of race participants, friends, family, and spectators. However, I wasn't too keen on paying the $17 for parking as I was only there for a few hours.

In my day, a station was a place of sweat and soot, where the air reeked of coal and the ground trembled beneath the weight of industry. Here, however, one finds a charming relic of 1927, its arches and tiles whispering of old Spain while inside dwells not the clamor of baggage men but, of all things, a museum of art! Imagine, waiting for one's transport while gazing at paintings instead of chickens being herded aboard. The convenience, too, is staggering--carriages of steel await with tickets conjured from glowing machines, where once I would have argued with a surly clerk scribbling in ledgers. The surroundings are pleasant and civilized, with cafés and markets close at hand; one might step off the train and be sipping a cappuccino within minutes, rather than gnawing on a hard biscuit beside the stables. Yet, I confess, the frequency of these trains is less than I should hope--one must time their arrival with a precision equal to a musket shot, lest they find themselves waiting longer than a sermon. Still, compared to the rutted wagons and bone-jarring rides of my own age, this station is a marvel, a polished portal between town and city. Four stars, then--not perfection, but a most respectable balance of beauty and utility, where past and present clasp hands across the tracks.

Then, one morning someone (who never identified herself as an employee of the mall) told us that we couldn't stand and look in the doorway of a room that was vacant, and had their door open to the walkway. We were insulted, then continued on our walk. About a week later two security/management staff approached us and told us that we were banned from Montclair Place for a year, due to the communication. There was no follow-up, phone call or written letter, even after it was asked for. By the way, we never made a complaint about the situation to the management office because we thought it would be petty and I'm only writing this review because I received an email from Yelp asking if I would review the Montclair Plaza. !!!!
