"The Gate" located at Forest Ave. and PCH dates back to 1915. An ice cream parlor owner was looking to name his store and held a contest. Whoever could come up with the best idea would win a leather pillow. A little girl told him he should write a poem on his gate. She won the pillow. This landmark is on my free self-guided Heisler Park/Downtown Tour. Go to LagunaBeachWalks.com for the details. #lagunabeach #gate #landmark #history #walkingtour #downtown #poem #travel #walk
