Nike's global women's night race series wants to run 10,000 runners through Hermosa Beach. The city has to figure out whether the event is worthy of the disruption to residents and businesses.
The Coastal Commission is quietly using building permits to force Hermosa Beach toward charging walk street and Strand homeowners annual fees for front yards they've maintained for generations. And finishing the city's Local Coastal Program is unlikely to save them.
A large crowd walked the Strand Sunday in the largest local protest yet against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies.
Organized by South Bay Takes a Stand, the march began at the Manhattan Beach Pier and continued to the Hermosa Beach Pier before returning—the same route the grassroots group established during its inaugural march last June.
Sunday's turnout appeared to be substantially larger, with crowds filling the beachfront pathway as marchers carried signs and chanted.
South Bay Takes a Stand was founded last year by Manhattan Beach resident Tanya Monaghan, Redondo Beach native Luisa Cabrera Faist, and podcaster Meghan Judge after ICE raids began occurring locally.
