Great New San Pedro Marina, Lowsy 22nd Street Landing

San Pedro continues to invest in its future. The new marina on 22nd Street is awesome. Taking a drive to visit the SS Lane Victory with its harbor views is great. Unfortunately, the closes places to eat are Utro's or 22nd Street Landing. Utro's is Utro's, good food, good atmosphere. I am definitely not taking a date there. 22nd Street Restaurant on the other hand produces poor fare. The lobster bis and Clam Chowder soups are good, but they probably come out of a can as everything else is not that good. For a fish place, the fish is second rate at best. Before the marina there was no need to go to 22nd Street Landing since it was out of the way. With the new marina the restaurant is loosing an opportunity to be a shinning lite for San Pedro. It is a shame that the restaurant with such a proud and long history produces second rate fish meals and wastes a great harbor view.

Proposed Toll Road Through San Pedro

I think it is time that San Pedro and the City of Los Angeles look for compensation for the over development of Rolling Hills, Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes, etc. There is no secret that there is lots of traffic on Western Avenue, 25th Street, 9th Street, 1st Street, and Gaffey as these city residence drive on San Pedro roads to get on the freeway or go to school on the hill. In the mean time San Pedrans have to deal with traffic and worn down roads. I know it won't happen, but I would love all these rich folks to pay for a toll fee to drive through San Pedro. Maybe this would make them think twice about building more property up near Terreanea (old Marineland). I know this is a crazy thought, but getting funds to fix our roads would be great.

Where is Joe Buscaino on110 Toll Road

Where is Joe Buscaino in protecting his constituents from the high fees and lack of access caused by the new 110 Fwy Toll Road? Where is the fairness of the new road for the resident of Los Angeles and the Harbor Gateway. San Pedro, Harbor City, and Wilmington are not Rolling Hills and Palos Verdes Estates and on average cannot afford the toll. When will our representative stand up for us and convey the unfairness of the toll road to the Los Angeles community. The communities of Rolling Hills and Palos Verdes drive on our roads and wear them down to get too and from work. They drive off and around the hill down 25th street, down 9th Street, down 1st Street wearing heavy on our roads. Now they get a special toll road for the rich. We should expect more.
