The other day I was passing our movie theater and saw an employee on a ladder changing the marquee by hand. Instead of fancy computerized signage, they have stacks of plastic letters and numbers. Built in 1934, this Mediterranean style building, on PCH across from Main Beach, used to charge 35 cents for adults and 10 cents for children.

Ok folks. Time to check in on the gnome village on the corner of Cedar Way and High Drive. It has grown since I featured it last year. We now have a plain-air painting gnome with one of his finished pieces, and a Cirque du Soleil gnome swinging on his trapeze. Love driving by this village on my way home from Pavilions!
Today El Morro Elementary School in Laguna Beach held their jog-a-thon fundraiser. Thank you KX 93.5, Laguna's only radio station, for providing the tunes! Also, thanks to Kelly and Frana for warming the kids up. Best costumes ever!
Last week we had the best LBLL opening ceremony ever! Thank you S. Detweiler for this great picture of John Pietig, Tim Loughlin, John Carpino, Mark Christy, and Tom Toman. Read all about it at: http://lagunabeach.com/aroundtown/riddle-field-laguna-beachs-own-field-of-dreams/
A new restaurant just opened at Thalia and PCH called Hearties. They are open from 8am-9pm serving some gluten free and vegan items along with hamburgers, fries and salads. We pass this restaurant on my HIP District Tour. Maybe I'll see if they can give my tour guests a sample when we pass by. For more information go to their website at www.hearties.com.
After you have gone on one of my walking tours, I highly recommend going to Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano. It was a 3rd grade assignment for one of my kiddos and we had a great time. We learned this is the oldest neighborhood in California, settled by those who worked at the Mission. The house here had the first bathtub and charged 10 cents per bath.
There is nothing better than watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean in Laguna Beach. This is the Gazebo in Heisler Park, where you can get a wedding permit for $255, for two hours, with a maximum of 50 guests.
Yes, it's true! Laguna Beach High School recently added beach volleyball to its sports program. The girls season is in the spring and the boys season is in the fall. Go Breakers!
To get ready for the 2014 baseball season, Riddle Field is having a make-over. Nestled in this small valley, surrounded by tall trees in the outfield, this place is truly a "Field of Dreams" for the Little Leaguers. Many thanks goes out to our City Council who helped with the funds for this much needed improvement.
What would life be without art and music? Even better when they are combined! Well, tonight is your lucky night. City of Angels saxophone quartet is performing at the Laguna Art Museum. Tickets are only $7 (free if you are a member of the museum). For more information, go to http://lagunaartmuseum.org/live-at-the-museum-city-of-angels-saxophone-quartet/
