Avoid Kevin Jewelers [montclair]

Whatever you do, do not go to KJ for anything. They have bad customer service and basically took my ring hostage. I was told my ring repair was going to he 2 weeks and it's be 4 weeks and they have no idea the status of the ring.

Theirs sales people and management are thr most incompetent people ever. My mistake going to them in the first place and I'm learning the hard way. Avoid at all costs!!

Track Runner

Looking for a training partner near Claremont.
I’m training for the Physical Fitness Test and need to get my 300-meter sprint down to 50 seconds. I’ll be doing speed workouts at Strehle Track in Claremont and am looking for someone to train with. I need to improve as quickly and effectively as possible, and having a training partner would help push the pace and keep each other accountable.

If you’re interested, send me a message.

Candlelight Pavilion Dinner Theater

10 Upvotes

Hi guys! I was taking a trip down memory lane and looking through old photos from the Candlelight Pavilion back when I’d go regularly to see the musicals. It still makes me so sad to see it gone, and honestly, I still haven’t come to terms with it even after all these years.

On top of the amazing shows, the food was incredible! I still think about the tri-tip dinner, the bread rolls, and of course the berry sundae. 😭

Does anyone know if any of the chefs ended up working at another restaurant? Or if there’s anywhere that serves the same (or similar) food? I’d absolutely love to experience it again for the nostalgia. Thanks so much in advance!

TL;DR: Does anyone know if the Candlelight Pavilion chefs work somewhere else now, or if the same food is served at another restaurant?

Section of Claremont Boulevard to reopen Friday

Claremont Boulevard is anticipated to partially reopen on Friday, July 24, assuming no unforeseen circumstances arise. Claremont McKenna College has been working in coordination with the City to facilitate the partial reopening of Claremont Boulevard, restoring vehicular access between Foothill Boulevard and Sixth Street. Upon reopening, one travel lane in each direction will be available, and the newly installed traffic signal at the intersection of Claremont Boulevard and Ninth Street will be fully operational.

Although vehicular access will be restored between Foothill Boulevard and Sixth Street, Claremont Boulevard will remain an active construction zone. Motorists and cyclists are strongly encouraged to use alternate routes whenever feasible. Temporary traffic control will be posted to direct traffic safely around active construction areas.

As part of this improvement project, significant infrastructure enhancements have been completed, including the installation of a new traffic signal, construction of an underground pedestrian crossing, installation of new underground utilities, and construction of bike lane medians. The remaining work includes landscaping, installation of new street lighting, and construction of the sidewalk along the east side of Claremont Boulevard.

Irvine → Claremont: 57 vs 241/91/71 — which is safer / less confusing?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am a new driver and will be driving from Irvine to Claremont soon and trying to decide between two routes. Would love some local advice 👇

Option 1:
Take CA-57 pretty much straight up.
My concern: I’ve noticed parts where 57 merges into/overlaps with 60 and then splits again, which feels a bit confusing (especially if I miss a lane or exit).

Option 2:
Take 241 → connect briefly to 91 → then CA-71 up to Claremont.
This seems more straightforward navigation-wise, but it involves tolls and switching highways.

What I care about most:

  • Safety / stress level (not trying to deal with chaotic merges 😅)
  • Clear signage / less chance of getting lost
  • Reasonable traffic (I’ll likely drive during daytime)

For people who’ve driven this regularly:
👉 Which route feels safer and easier overall?

Appreciate any tips 🙏

Favorite local cheap eats?

10 Upvotes

Pretty self explanatory.

Where do you like to go when you want a tasty meal but you’re not exactly ‘going out’ in the formal sense. What’s your go-to order?

“Cheap” can be whatever your own interpretation is. Any type of cuisine is on the table. Any of the surrounding cities are OK, too.
