(33,517 posts)36. Yes Peg. I know you live in Manhattan Beach. I'm glad to know the Kettle is still there.
I never actually lived in Manhattan Beach, but I lived in Hermosa in the early 1970's on and off, and after I married and returned to California with my wife, we lived for some time in Redondo Beach before moving to San Diego.
It's probably been 5 or 10 years since I've visited the South Bay. I saw the changes. It's way up scale now, but wasn't when I lived there.
Except for being newly married, it wasn't necessarily a good time in my life, but I went to California to escape some pain, and it helped, the Either/Or bookstore, and the runs between the Piers, Hermosa and Manhattan and Uncle Bills for Breakfast.
