Day in the Life of Claremont, CA

It may not seem like a special day to most, but September 14 has been a notable 24 hours throughout history. Some days have been good, others not so good. In 1930, the NFL played their first football game. In 1982, Grace Kelly died in a car accident - while all the way back on September 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key penned what would become “The Star-Spangled Banner” after the U.S. withstood British attack at Fort McHenry.
Day-in-the-life books have a history also. Starting in the 1980s, the “A Day in the Life of America” photo book hired top photojournalists throughout the nation to document one single day. The hard part wasn’t taking the pictures. It was the photo editors who had far more work selecting the very best imagery to represent our country. Needless to say, it was a huge success and kickstarted hundreds of day-in-the-life books from all over the world.
Here at the COURIER on September 14, 2021, we covered the unique story of Claremont and Claremonters. We picked a day filled with activities to show the busy lifestyles of city residents. The entire COURIER editorial staff spent day and night documenting a city at work and play, creating our first ever: Day in the Life-Claremont edition.
