"Obviously I saw the posters - after all, the point was to harass and intimidate me. The claims in the poster are complete lies pushed by a few bars that think they're allowed to disrespect their neighbors by prioritizing their own profit over respecting their community."
Firewire Surfboards employs a 21-step construction process that incorporates aerospace-grade foams, carbon fiber, and bio-resins, resulting in boards that look and perform like they belong in a science fiction movie.
Our ride was down Venice's Grand Canal, the most famous one in the city, and I knew that was a mistake almost right away. Pulling away from the dock alongside several other boats reminded me of rush hour. Our gondola was sandwiched between two other boats, and I was worried about getting bumped the entire time.
When people come in and realize I'm involved, they're always surprised to see me. It's a bit like being at Disneyland and running into Goofy. I sometimes feel like the mayor of Larchmont. Rosenthal enjoys the personal connection with diners at his recently opened establishment, finding satisfaction in the surprise and delight customers experience when discovering his involvement in the neighborhood venue.
I'm happy, but I'm also sad about my final year as a Bruin, adding that it's pretty cool to know that my dream school has become my legacy. I'm going to stand for what is right. I am doing the things to make sure no other athlete has to go through what I had to go through.
In her latest body of work, Hayv Kahraman grapples with the loss of her Altadena home during last year's Eaton Fire. The women in her paintings channel a sense of magic, wonder, and ritual as they contort their bodies or dance across the canvas. Kahraman herself endured the traumatic displacement from her native Iraq as a child during the first Gulf War, and she incorporates symbols from her heritage, such as Sufi talismans and the Anqā, a phoenix-like bird from Arab mythology.
It's a great way to start off the day. He played volleyball as a freshman, but he said of surfing, 'It's great to connect with other schools and through surfing.' Winning the surfer of the year award 'really meant a lot,' he said.
With more than eight miles of coastline and consistently strong breaks, it's long been a magnet for surfers from around the world. However, the city's appeal goes beyond the water-it also has a walkable downtown, a charming namesake pier, and plentiful waterfront bars and restaurants.
Creators truly are creatives, but they're also entrepreneurs. They're also technology-savvy and they understand audiences. And I don't think there's ever been a generation of creatives who've been able to do all four of those things. The Lighthouse CEO Jon Goss highlights the unique skill set of modern creators who must balance artistic vision with business acumen, technical proficiency, and audience engagement.
People say, 'It's the most Instagrammed house in the world.' About 150,000 photos the last time we checked. That story, Galan says, helped launched an invasion; the home has been besieged by TV and film crews, tourists, art students, architects, wedding parties and a parade of selfie sticks.
With a population of about 200,000 residents, this eastern Florida city is known for its quieter beaches, walkable downtown, and vibrant stores and restaurants. It's also famous for having hundreds of miles of canals that curl in and around the city - a feature that's earned it the nickname "Venice of America." Just like in Italy's Venice, these winding waterways are very much a part of daily life in this Florida city.
Baca, who was awarded the National Medal of Arts by former US president Joe Biden, is working with a team of artists to tell socially engaged stories on 12ft-tall panels. "I want to use public space to create ... consciousness about the presence of people who are often the majority of the population but who may not be represented in any visual way," she says.
For travelers looking to get to know the many-varied charms of the Golden State, discovering it through the best beaches in California is never a bad idea.

The 31st edition of the LA Art Show is back this week at the downtown Convention Center, more than a month before Frieze, Felix, and Post-Fair roll into town. Although it is LA's longest-running art fair, the show is somewhat of an outcast, snubbed as pedestrian, too commercial, and out of touch with the cutting edge of the global art world. But at the rear of the cavernous exhibition hall, a pair of projects organized by curator Marisa Caichiolo gives visitors a sense of the fair's cultural and political relevance.
In a widely cited (and likely apocryphal) exchange the bewildered conductor cried, 'But there's nothing here!' Alighting the stopped train, one of the Standard Oil men is said to have replied: 'No, but there will be.' Nothing is precisely what they were looking for. They needed a blank space along the coast on which to build a refinery to complement the company's existing facility nearly 400 miles to the north in Richmond.
Through throwback posts, people have been traveling back to the year when dog and flower crown Snapchat filters, Instagram eyebrows, the mannequin challenge and the Chainsmokers were everywhere. But why, you may ask? On social media, 2016 is remembered as the last carefree era, a time when people posted whatever they wanted without overthinking it, when folks actually danced at parties instead of pointing their phones at the DJ booth to "capture content."
We bought the property in 1974 from the Dudley Murphy estate. In 1979, we sold 10 condos designed (and built in 1939 for Murphy as motel units) by famed architect Richard Neutra. The remaining two lots, which have a total of 83 feet of beach frontage, represent what Stern called the first Escondido Beach Road home sites available to the public in more than 20 years.
