That pottery ranch place has been having the same "everything must go" sale for months. We were there last August and had the same sign but their inventory never seems to go down. I find it slightly suspicious but I could be wrong. I haven't been by in awhile.

Sounds like there's a bit of uncertainty when the place will close up for good: "At one point they were going to close this summer and sell the land to a developer but that deal fell apart so who know's what's going to happen next."

to San Gabriel Valley denizens, the Pottery Ranch is known as the Potty Ranch ... dirty, lousy selection, overpriced. Not worth it, even if there is a so-called sale going on. That's dubious in any event.
