June 1st, 2017: SMN, SMS and the Santa Monica Pier...

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.....

Santa Monica Pier...






Santa Monica South...





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!...
x-ref: Arthur Verge's pick up spot "back in the day..."


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 a new restaurant is being built out at the corner of Broadway and Ocean Ave. called:

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