I was one of the many critics that wrote about the new Big Blue Bus stops a few weeks ago. Click on the link for some wonderful insights from the Santa Monica Mirror staff. The bus stop design is ridiculous and criticism is nearly unanimous. The City is going to make a few minor modifications.
This weekend is the 25th Anniversary of the Third Street Promenade! Take advantage of the numerous discounts at participating stores and restaurants and celebrate with the Sonic Submarine music festival, Parade and Block Party.
Montana Avenue merchants are taking part in the Buying Local Gives Back – Buy local, Eat local, Give Local campaign. Receive a discount by donating 3 jars of peanut butter to contributing stores, thru September 22nd – September 28th .
Are you happy? The City of Santa Monica has been granted $1Million from Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge to do a survey to find out if Santa Monicans are happy or not.
