Humorous and local-interest newspaper columns from the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (Ontario, Calif.) written by David Allen and published from 2001 to 2005. Topics include Jack Benny, George Putnam, “The O.C.,” Fred Willard, Raymond Burr, University of La Verne and Cal Poly Pomona and cities cited include Rancho Cucamonga, Pomona and Ontario.
I enjoyed this book so much! Of course, being a personal friend of the author makes me even more excited and proud! David's wit and humor keep you on your toes as you read along. Also, since it is a collection of newspaper columns from 2001-05, it feels a little like time travel. It is fun to read about how different things have changed in the last twenty years, especially some of the comments about technology. David, did you ever get cable TV or a cell phone?!
As my brother lives in that same area east of Los Angeles, it was fun knowing, and also learning, a little bit about the region. I highly recommend this book, especially if you live in the Inland Valley area!
