Pomona possesses what must be the liveliest blogging community in the Inland Empire. We're fans of M-M-M-My Pomona, Goddess of Pomona, and Images of Pomona. Also, Metro Pomona has the scoop on the happenings in downtown Pomona.

A reader sent us three more links to Pomona blogs we've managed to overlook. We're adding these to our local blog roll, so they'll be there in future:

• Pomona's Art Colonists - As the title indicates, this site has news about the downtown Pomona art scene.
  
  
• Blurry Memoirs (A Bartender's Take on Life) - This is a blog by Tibbi, a bartender at dba256 Gallery Winebar.
  
  Meg at M-M-M-My Pomona offered this description of dba256 last month:
  

  In other news (or not-news, really), we headed down to dba256 last night for a drink before supper. We spotted Dave Allen, but he looked deep in conversation, so we didn't bother him. Then who should wander up but our own John Clifford. As the three of us chatted on a couch, a couple of other Pomona Heritage members came by and joined us. The five of us talked so long, Mix Bowl was the only place open when we finally turned our attention to supper.
  
  That, I must say, is the dictionary definition of the "local," English style -- the pub where you stumble in for a drop to cure what ails you and end up meeting half your neighbors. I haven't had a local since they closed the Salty Dog Saloon for my going away party in 1988, putting a sign up on the door saying "We're at Meg's -- if you know where that is, you're invited."
  
  

• Pomona Subterraneo - This blog belongs to Pomona resident Andre Martinez, who describes his efforts thusly:
  

  Pomona Subterraneo is gritty, crass, obnoxious, cerebral, stupid, borracho and many more pretty things.
