Pomona History

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomona,_California

The city is named for Pomona, the ancient Roman goddess of fruit. Supplied by horticulturist Solomon Gates, "Pomona" was the winning entry in a contest to name the city.

I like how it's named after a fruit goddess. lol

Shifted Shapes, you should go in and edit this to include Slick Dogg and the rest of the Pomona OGs.


In the trivia section- I also think it would be super awesome to include that an unknown group of people referred to only as "them" or "they" from Pomona invented/created and coined the phrase zip wave. These plural people inventor wavers are unidentified waving objects, or UWOs. Similar to UFOs only not doing the whole "flying" thing.

You want something done I guess you gotta du et yourself.

So now that Slick Dogg is in wikipedia on this page, I want to make it so his link isn't red.

But to do that he needs to have his own article on the database.

Somebody please submit an article in his name because I don't have enough information on him to make such an article.
