Hmm, what could have caused this fence to bend like that?

A car. It’s always the cars and the drivers.
Beachfront staircase with cones and temporary guardrails as well as a low fence mangled and warped to the ground South Bay Scanner • Follow 1d • @ South Redondo: At appx 5:20am this morning, RBFD was dispatched to a single vehicle injury crash with airbag deployment (involving a BMW convertible) at Knob Hill/Esplanade. Somehow, the driver drove down the side of the hill via that little pedestrian walkway/ stairs just west of where Knob Hill ends. RBPD was on scene almost immediately and had the suspect/ patient (driver) detained on Esplanade somewhere between Topaz/Sapphire. Sounds like PD transported the driver to the hospital? The second patient (passenger) was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Image of white car wedged in a staircase leading to ocean

And for fun, school kids on summer break enjoy the freedom of getting around by e-bike.

Retro photo of Hermosa Beach Pier Plaza from 1950. Diagonal car parking spaces and driving lanes line the storefronts to the pier. All parking spaces are full. Modern photo from 2025. The plaza is now pedestrianized with bollards at street level. No cars are in the plaza. Many pedestrians and bikes are in the plaza. A branded Hb crosswalk is in the center of the intersection. Marked turn lanes and a bike sharrow in the foreground.

Beautiful showing of support from South Bay Takes a Stand for immigrants rights! We marched from Manhattan Beach Pier to Hermosa Beach Pier and back.

Immigrant rights are human rights. Housing affordability issues and scarcity impacts the most marginalized among us. This is why we fight.
