I've had a ton of fun at Cal Poly's Downtown Center, which is the main attraction imo. There's a few other things of interest there too. I'll take that over Hollywood Blvd. any day.

And again, I said pound for pound, DTLA has more going for it because it's much bigger obviously.
Even pound for pound it doesn't compare. Pomona effectively functions as an LA exurb. Which is why it is comparatively high in density, but comparatively low in terms of street life and urban vitality. The gravity of urban, core LA just sucks in all the activity, all the best talent, and all the money from the whole region. You're trying to tell me that a sleepy bedroom community on the outskirts of LA county is somehow a more happening place (pound for pound) than the city that dominates the whole region. I mean, there are plenty of smaller cities that punch above their weight in the area - the beach cities, Pasadena, Glendale. Pomona isn't one of them. It's just too far away from the action.
