Wishing you A Very Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoy a Special Day!
Nice place to live in. I didn't know that Manhattan Beach is the birthplace of beach volleyball. In Portugal we have some great volleyball players.
Enjoyed your Manhattan Beach page.
Summer '74 as Kansas college junior came to MB to join my brother, med student at USC. Lived on 42nd. Could walk to El T's after day at beach/partying. Your story makes it sound like nothing has changed. Nice to know 30 years later. Thanks for good memory
Hi there- I am comign to MB the week of Easter and we're stayign at the Sea View Inn. Yours was the only "good" review--is the beach there swmimmable?? Is the water temp too cold---thanks- E Cullen-any other tips would be great--
This is very helpful! Me and my husband are going to Manhattan Beach for 2 nights and have no clue what there is to do. We're staying at the Marriott that you listed, I was so glad to see it on your list! :) Thanks for the info!
Have a good one JR!! thanks for VT catch up soon, hugs, Pam :-))
it's smashing, Darling. what is AVP?
thanks for the excellent warnings ;) (oh, and restaurant tips) Ill be at Manhattan Beach for a business meeting in early June. Two years too late I guess, I missed the biggest event there ever ;)
Outstanding restaurant tips that are detailed, helpful, and, best of all, honest. You have a great writing style for your commentary. Thanks for the enthusiastic tour of your home, Manhattan Beach.
