We received a comment on our post about the Gold Line, and the reader had an idea for utilizing the Metrolink for late-night visitors to the downtown Los Angeles scene:

I read your piece on the Gold Line. I wanted to write because I have Thought for awhile that it would be very good if the Metrolink would run very late on a Friday or Saturday night so that people out here can get into downtown LA for the nightlife. Like maybe a 2 or 3 o'clock train back into the IE. I think this would be very convenient for those of us who like the nightlife, especially with all the things that are going on in downtown LA right now. Not only would convenience factor on driving be one reason we should do it, but for those who drink it would be an alternative to driving after having a drink. Maybe they could do it just a few times a year. Anyways,that's my idea!
Also--did you ever have time to find out what the 25 salons in the village are? I still am curious whether there really are 25..... and what they are. Thanks.
We're not sure about the salons or how that number 25 was arrived at, but looking for salons, spas, nail and tanning businesses between Foothill Blvd. and Arrow Hwy. to the north and south, and Claremont Blvd. and Mountain Ave. to the east and west, here's what we could find using Google:- Aromatique Skin Body Care

555 W Foothill Blvd, Claremont, CA - Total Look

123 Yale Ave, Claremont, CA
By the way, there seemed to be twice that number if you count Claremont's outlying areas. We don't know if the new salon ordinance will have its desired effect, but we did notice the "For Lease" signs seem to be staying up at the former cigar store on 2nd St. across from City Hall and in the Village Expansion. But, maybe given the current economic environment those would have stayed empty anyway.
