Write an entry Entries about this placeIf you're in the neighborhood by SeamusI was born practically next door to Claremont, so the place holds some cache in that regard. Where I Work by Claire ConnellyI work at Harvey Mudd College, one of the Claremont Colleges. Other Claremont Colleges are Claremont-McKenna College, Pitzer College, Pomona College, and Scripps College. There’s also a large religious (you can bet that’s Christianist) school, and the Claremont Graduate University, which turns out conservative scholars. Claremont the town has a nice main street with lots of small gift and antique shops. There are a number of good restaurants (e.g., Walter’s, Claremont Juice Company) as well as some crappy ones (the French restaurant). Claremont is weirdly full of people during the day, mostly well-dressed, well-off women who apparently don’t have jobs and can afford to hang out in the expensive shops. There are some cool stores, including the Folk Music store, which sells music and instruments, a neat old-fashion toy store, a store that sells rubber stamps and another that sells scrapbook supplies. My favorite is probably Raku, a gift store that has affordable (and odd) cards and gift items. Claremont is pretty dead, culturally speaking. There are some things that happen at the colleges, but outside their campuses, Claremont is very suburban, fading into hard-right fundie Christian at the edges. over 7 years ago |
