Retrospective: Five surf legends on Pier Plaza — and rates hit a five-week low

The one thing. Hermosa spent the weekend honoring its surf DNA. The 22nd Surfer Walk of Fame added five names on Pier Plaza Saturday — pro surfer Laurie Wilson, Haggerty's Surf Club co-founder Lonnie Argabright, shapers Tyler Hatzikian and Pat Rawson, and John Van Hamersveld, the artist behind the "Endless Summer" poster. The 18th Spyder Surf Fest took over the plaza after, and Friday's Big Wave Challenge Awards drew over 200 entries. Easy Reader →

The market. Third straight weekly drop: the 30-year fell to 6.23% (Freddie Mac, week of April 23) — nearly a quarter point off the April 2 peak, and the lowest in five weeks. The spring slide was now officially a trend. Freddie Mac →

At City Hall. The state-housing rewrite kept moving in MB: the Planning Commission's April 22 agenda set a public hearing on zone text amendments to the municipal code and Local Coastal Program — the code changes that implement the 6th Cycle Housing Element, back from its February round. Agenda →

The pulse. Monday's Canines and Cocktails at Vista on Pier Avenue put live music behind Bark for a Park's pitch: a real dog park for Hermosa. Worth remembering the name — this campaign was just getting started. Calendar →

Next → Hermosa votes its first fee update in nearly a decade, and Linz gets her contract.
