Classic diner chain had one Inland Empire location, Montclair, columnist David Allen learns, and Tiny Naylor himself had a ranch in Jurupa Valley.
Decades before that, the site was home to a Van de Kamp’s Bakery, with a spinning windmill edged in blue neon above the entry. Remember those? That was according to Bill Ruh, a city native and longtime councilmember who doubles as Montclair’s unofficial memory-keeper.
The advertisement’s text says the 1949-founded Tiny Naylor’s has been around “over 50 years,” which dates the ad to 1990 or so. The Montclair phone number has a 714 area code. 714 went away in 1992, when 909 was created. So did Tiny Naylor himself. He owned a 640-acre horse-breeding ranch in Jurupa Valley. In the 1950s he built a Colonial-style mansion there with columned veranda to please his wife, Millie.
Target replaced Montgomery Ward. Wells Fargo replaced First Interstate Bank, which replaced United California Bank. The now-vacant 99 Cents Only store replaced Thrifty Drug. “The challenge there, similar to what was faced on Moreno Street, was shoehorning the building and drive-thru lane onto a site that simply couldn’t accommodate it,” said Steve Lustro, the city’s retired community development director. “Glad that Panera and city staff didn’t give up on this project and found an alternate site.”Raising Cane’s inquired first but moved on rather than wait for a zoning change.
