Landmark Hermosa: Fat Face Fenner's Fishack

Sadly, no one guessed correctly. If you did, please let us know via the feedback button.

It's the 4-F of Hermosa Beach, Fat Face Fenner's Fishack. A goodly looking pub from the Pier Plaza - we haven't gone inside. The box is attached to the upstairs frontage looking out over the plaza. Sorry - no one guessed the answer this week. But we'll be back next week with more Hermosa Beach trivia.

Landmark Hermosa: The Bottle Inn

The stained glass window is the front of the cozy restaurant at 26 22nd St.

Due to a technical difficulty, this did not post Friday night, like it was supposed to. Our apologies. One of the truly fun things about being a guest editor for this site is this feature. I caught this picture after an extended walk along the beach.  But, alas, they were closed when I came by so I did not go in. However, when I checked the restaurant's website, I had to check the wine list - what can I say, I'm a wine geek. Wow. Can't wait to drag the beloved spouse in here. Congratulations to Carol Russell for guessing correctly. And to John Wayne Miller, who was about to guess, but instead acknowledged Ms. Russell for hers. Come back next week for more Hermosa Beach trivia.

Youth Theatre Gets Footloose Starting Tonight

Puttin On Productions mounts the teen musical opening tonight at the Hermosa Beach Community Center.

Local teens are getting a chance to strut their stuff in a new production of the stage musical Footloose, produced by theatre company Puttin On Productions. The show opens tonight for a five-show run over the weekend. According to company executive director Julia Mirkovich, the cast is made up of 25 teens between the ages of 14 and 20 years old. "You watch them, I can't believe they're teen agers," Mirkovich said about the cast. She picked the show not only as a crowd-pleaser, but also because it was something the kids are familiar with. "Most of the shows we pick, the kids don't know," Mirkovich said. "But we do a few shows that they're familiar with." That being said, if it hadn't been for last year's re-make of the 1984 film starring …
