Just opened: a tool every Claremont resident should know about

Somewhere between Claremont’s new woodland grove and a San Dimas summit about getting AI right, the foothills are quietly stirring with fresh energy. April has a way of nudging the community out of whatever winter routines lingered a little too long.

This corridor shines when it comes to experiences that make it genuinely feel like home: free outdoor spaces, live music, craft fairs, family programs, and a few things you’ll regret missing if you don’t check them out soon. Here’s what we found this week.

The Gist: Claremont Police launched Citizen RIMS, a free online portal showing current and past crime data back to 2016. Residents can filter by area, incident type, and see arrests from the last 30 days. Homeowners can register security cameras to help investigations.

Why It Matters: This tool gives the community a clear, easy way to stay informed about local safety. Residents now have a practical resource to check crime patterns and feel more connected to their neighborhood.

The Gist: The City of Glendora is accepting online bids for the Police Department Storefront Replacement, Plan No. 1401. Bids must be submitted via QuestCDN by 10:00 a.m. on April 30, 2026, with all required documents and bid security included.

Why It Matters: This project will update a key public safety facility, supporting city operations and community service. Glendora residents can look forward to improved police facilities that serve the community better.

Café Wang Chinese Fusion & Bar serves up generous plates of American-Chinese favorites with a fresh, vibrant touch. Think crispy orange chicken, tender Mongolian beef, and cashew chicken, all paired with soup, salad, rice, and egg rolls.

The space is lively and stylish, with striking ceiling art that keeps things memorable. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual dinner, enjoying live jazz, or celebrating a special occasion, the food is flavorful, plentiful, and presented with care.

Robeks La Verne is excited to announce new store hours:
🕖 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. | Every day

Plus, meet your new bowl obsessions:
🍓 Strawnana Berry Blast
🥭 Mango Magic
🍌 Nutty Banana Crunch

Spoon-worthy goodness from open to close!
