B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving School Feb 23, 2019 - Feb 24, 2019 07:30 AM - 04:00 PM



Be Responsible And Keep Everyone Safe
B.R.A.K.E.S Teen Pro-Active Driving School is a four-hour program that partners your teen with professional driving instructors to teach the skills of defensive driving in a controlled, hands-on environment. The school is designed for teenagers (aged 15-19) who already have a learner’s permit or driver’s license and have at least thirty hours of driving experience.

This life-saving experience is fun for your teen and they will leave with a great level of confidence. The bonus is that parents are offered a chance to get behind the wheel and experience some of the same courses as the teens.

B.R.A.K.E.S. classes are free to all, but we require a $99 refundable deposit via check to secure your reservation.  This deposit is necessary simply to ensure that families show up to the class.
Visit Put On The Brakes for more information.

To Catch a Dream in Downtown Pomona


Great picture of downtown Pomona W. Second St. looking east during the Christmas Holidays in the late 1950's. But what I wanted to point out to you, is the Dream Catcher next to the word Cave in the picture.


Here is a close up of the Dream Catcher, and below is a picture of what Dream Catchers look like. But when I use to go with my folks to downtown in the 1960's, we would pass that store which at the time was a jewelry store. And I would look in the windows and see all the fancy jewelry. But looking up I also seen this tile pattern which was above the windows as shown in the picture. Back then I was wondering what the heck is that. I wasn't sure until I seen this picture that I realize what it was, it was a Dream Catcher.The story behind it was that the Native Americans would use these to catch bad dreams while they we're sleeping, I have a couple myself.
OK I just wanted to share this little bit of Pomona's forgotten history, I wonder what ever happened to it?. It could of been something that Pomona Tile could of made.


What if Apollo had crashed on the Moon ?
