New things sprouting up in Pomona this Spring:
1) The 305 Chinese Restaurant at Palomares and Holt. Their sign even uses an image of a Lincoln Park peacock.
I haven't tried the place yet, but I do like seeing a new peacock in the neighborhood! It's the first time that building has housed a non-Mexican restaurant since I've lived here.
2) The "Monterey Station" apartment buildings at the corner of Monterey and Garey slated to open in the summer. Being built by the Realm Group, the same Newport Beach firm that built the Helix building on Palomares. If you go to
their site, Realm also designed another mixed-use Pomona apartment complex called The Palomar. I have no idea where that one is going in, but it's exciting to see the new residential building going on!
As for Monterey Station, the brick facade is just going up on the east tower and the palm trees went in a couple weeks ago. Once complete, the development should transcend that whole block. I'm psyched!
Slowly but surely, the downtown business and arts district is creeping up toward Lincoln Park. I'd say the time is ripe for Pomona to grow a bike path!

Tried the new Chinese buffet. It was OK and a half step above some of the Chinese fast food places (and donut shop) around our part of the city.
We've eaten there twice now. The service is good, the staff friendly. We liked the food. It's nice to have this new eatery so close by.
Am happy to see your latest posts. Glad you are blogging again!
The name just changed to Cochilla (?), and the peacock design is gone :( not sure if it has a new owner but it's still a chinese food buffet place.

Last I heard the restaurant was for sale on Craigslist, so it's probably a new owner. Plus the cuisine has changed from Chinese to Mexican-Chinese. Sorry to see another peacock gone with the sign changing, but at least the place is staying open. Although the new place seems to be closed whenever I drive by...
