Going up to San Bernadino for their 2013 opener gave Mary Star High football a chance to show host Aquinas they are not the same team that they destroyed in 2012.

True, not many teams would accept moral victories, but the…

It's first year of being in a league (Ocean), ended up with the Polar Bears winning that league, earning them their…

As a San Pedro resident, this is a subject near and dear to the heart. POC, as it is, has GOT to go! I'm dating myself surely, but when I was in high school, POC was THE place to go for prom night, in the South Bay! My husband (new to the area) and I had been remiss in getting down there, since we moved back to the area. Hungering for a local seafood market, we wandered in there one afternoon and were stunned to find what a dump it had become!

From the outside, it looks like it's…

Ports O' Call is being re-developed. What about current tenants? Most will be allowed to stay until the end of 2014.

Is it OK for a non-profit to also remain, for now, under an agreement set years ago, and previously honored?

I attended yesterday's Harbor Commission meeting, and while the SPAA was not the only tenant speaking up, here's a tidbit about what's going on with their discussion with port officials, from the Daily Breeze.…

I SUPPORT THE NEW PONTE VISTA

AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY!!!

BY JOHN M. MAVAR

My family has a long history in San Pedro going back three generations, and was influential in creating the city as we now know it. Bringing new people to our town is part of what makes this place so unique. San Pedro is a vibrant and diverse community because it welcomes people from far and wide, whether visiting through the Port, or coming to live and be a part of the community.

I’m proud…

The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium was definitely THE place to be last night as locals and folks from all over the southland flocked to the beach in droves to witness the annual Grunion Run and take part in the Aquarium’s popular “Meet the Grunion” event. The program began at 9:00 pm with a short film about the Grunion and then everyone headed down to the beach to await the spectacle that would be carried in on the high tide. Families came armed with flashlights and fishermen of…

It’s ti me to let your hair down and dance the night away! Hairspray, Broadway’s musical comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture is coming to the jewel of San Pedro, the Warner Grand Theatre!  

It’s 1962 Baltimore and big-haired and boisterous teen Tracy Turnblad wins a spot on the local TV dance program, “The Corny Collins Show.”…

I just wanted to say what a well coordinated effort the Fire Dept, Police & Harbor Police made today when they rescued a woman who slipped and fell off the trail at Pt. Fermin. Hopefully she is going to be alright. Great job to all involved!

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…

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…
