After 45 years in business at the same location on 25th St. and Western Ave. in San Pedro, Henry at Harbor Village Barbers wondered where all his business had gone. Down to one chair with a second barber coming in a couple of days a week, the shop's business was in a downward spiral.
This is a traditional manly man's barbershop. There are no stylists to be found…
Even though I am not an official resident of San Pedro. I've been working in this city for 4 years. Are any of you familiar with the San Pedro haunting of Jackie Hernandez? 1989-1993. It has appeared on numerous t.v. Shows like syfy channel. Biography and it's own documentary called AN UNKNOWN ENCOUNTER. Plus the book of the same name both by Barry Conrad. In the mid 90's 20th century fox and the hallmark channel were close to making it into a movie. Neither one proceeded with the picture. I am… Continue
Forget complex business plans, a political overhaul or massive infrastructure projects. Maybe what will help save the crumbling city of Detroit is a rotating set of mower blades.
Detroit has been on the decline, financially and population-wise, for many years for lots of reasons, not the least of which is the troubled auto industry. With numerous abandoned homes and vacant lots dotting the city, it might be difficult to really call Detroit a “city” anymore. Urban blight, maybe, but…

The 2013 high school football season is drawing near, and for Mary Star Of The Sea High football, it's a chance to build up last year's amazing turnaround season where they went from an 0-10 campaign in 2011 to a 4-6 mark with a third place finish in the Del Rey League and a spot in the CIF-Southern…
AltaSea Marine Research Center. The project will take a few years to finish, but sounds exciting! Per our current mayor: "This public-private partnership will create jobs, draw new industries to the city, provide tremendous educational opportunities, and enhance the overall quality of life in Los Angeles." ... Thank you Daily Breeze for the attached report.…
I believe that the crew of the vessel should have contacted the Marine Mammel Center in San Pedro or the one in Orange County. They do great things with ill, malnourished marine life. They've taken in many little ones this season. I didn't have the heart to finish the video. I dearly hope that the little critter had a some chance for surviving its plight. If anyone wants to donate to an ourtrageously worthy cause the Marine Mammel Center located at the old Fort Mac Upper Reservation…
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 was finally time for San Pedro's other softball power to finally shine on the grand stage of being on the adoring field of Easton Stadium on the campus of UCLA.
More postseason praise has been bestowed upon the dynamic battery of Mary Star High softball sophomore pitcher Marina Vitalich and senior catcher Amber Nunez, as they were named to the All-CIF Southern Section Division 6 team.…
A hat tip for LAObserved.com for sharing this unusual video of a small sea lion climbing aboard a boat off of Newport Beach in May. The sea lion then snuggled with the crew for an hour.
