In July 2007, the city was rated by Money magazine as the fifth best place to live in the United States, and was the highest rated California city on the list.
It's known primarily for its colleges (a total of seven, plus a school of theology) and its magnificent trees. There is a beautiful old stand of American Elm along Indian Hill Boulevard that has been untouched by Dutch Elm disease.

"Dividing the Light" - James Turrell 2007
This is an installation on the Pomona College campus. "Dividing the Light" gathers visitors on benches beneath a canopy that frames a window to the sky. At dusk and dawn a lighting program bathes the canopy in changing colors, from goldenrod to turquoise, altering the viewer’s perception of the sky that is visible here as a blue diamond. A shallow pool centered beneath the opening to the sky mirrors the daytime sky and reflects a dark echo of the night sky.
