At the Delta Hotel, across the street from the Ontario Convention Center.
That’s Ontario, California.
Visited the SBDC and several vendors.
Oh, and it was raining.
Liar.

Mountain Avenue Rite Aid is Closing in Five Days
Update to my July 2 Bredemarket blog post.
As of July 21, the Rite Aid at 4th and Mountain in Ontario, California IS closing. In the next five days.
And while the Thrifty Ice Cream counter at this store is empty, at least the Thrifty company survives.
More pictures below. Avoid if store closings depress you.

Infrastructure!
Ontario’s Measure Q sales tax increase is funding infrastructure.
““This is a big measure for us,” he continues. “It’s going to bring in anywhere between 65 and 95 million a year in extra funding for our community.” The majority of that is going to be used for capital improvement projects like infrastructure, and so we’re really trying to make sure that our strategy for Measure Q means being transparent in where residents can see the money in their community.””
I’m Shaky
Ever since I started working from home in March 2020 (while I was still at IDEMIA), I’ve gotten used to having work-related brainstorms at 3:30 am.
So it’s Sunday at 3:30 am and I had a brilliant idea for a Wednesday Bredemarket post.
While drafting that post on my phone, I discovered an UTM-related issue in Friday’s Bredemarket post.
I couldn’t fix it on my phone, so I got up to go to the computer.
Then the house shook and a nearby car alarm went off.
We’ve had a lot of earthquakes in the 3-4 range lately.
As long as they stay small, I’m fine.
Now back to my brilliant idea…

Too Many Dollar Trees?
Are there/will there be too many Dollar Trees in or near Ontario, California?
This used to be my Alpha Beta, a grocery store chain acquired by Kroger and Albertsons.
Then it became a 99 Cents Only Store. (Actually a 99.99 Cents Only Store, but close enough.) And we know what happened there.
Now this location, on Mountain Avenue near D St. in Ontario, California, is slated to become a Dollar Tree. (Actually a Dollar Twenty Five Tree, but close enough.)
Just like the former 99 Cents Only Store on Euclid near Francis, which has already reopened as a Dollar Tree.
And just like the three Dollar Trees within a two mile radius in Ontario, Upland, and Montclair.
Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt all of them will survive. The dollar store market hasn’t gotten appreciably better.
Jay Littleton Ball Park Destroyed By Fire
Jay Littleton Ball Park in Ontario, California was destroyed by fire this week.
From the ABC7 story:
The historic baseball field was built in the 1930s with a wooden frame grandstand.
It’s owned by the city and operated by the public works agency. It was designated a historic landmark back in 2003.
It’s been renovated several times, but officials said there was still likely a lot of old wood in the structure, which is dry and burns quickly.
The Ontario Eastern Little League is sponsoring a GoFundMe for repairs.
