Dateline: Thursday afternoon, June 1, 2017 at and after 4:30 pm, we undertook a reconnaissance of SMN from the bluffs, the Santa Monica Pier, a bit of SMS and CSHQ and the adjacent environment...

Here are the photos, plus a video for your viewing pleasure.....

And HEY!... check this out.  La Victoria®, the Mexican salsa company, is apparently celebrating their 100th birthday on the Pier this evening!  Who knew I would be able to toss in some trademark information in this blog post?!...

And no trip to the pier and SMHQ is complete without a photos HOT DOG ON A STICK!...

And Hey!  Look who is visiting CSHQ off duty, none other than veteran LACo OL, Paul Silka, M.D.!

And upstairs, on a TX shift, is OLS Eric Liberty...

And speaking of Jacaranda trees... the Third Street Promenade is full of them!... and they are, of course, now in bloom.....
