In The Pipeline:
Rescue of a good old (sign) girl

Are you familiar with the weathered, wooden “Welcome to Huntington Beach” sign on Pacific Coast Highway near the intersection at Warner Avenue? It’s been there since at least the early 1970s and, according to city historian Jerry Persons, may even go back to the late 1960s. When we first moved here 10 years ago, it was one of the first things that caught my eye. I’m a fan of roadside art, and “Welcome To” signs are a big part of that category around the USA, so I was pleased to see such a fine example of an increasingly disappearing era: that of charming signs on the outskirts of towns.

    Hit Tuna Town for fresh, creative sushi

    We were trying to get to Tuna Town to take advantage of the happy hour specials that run from 4 to 7 p.m., but were having trouble finding a free parking space. I have ranted before about how local politicians should be ashamed of themselves for allowing exorbitant parking meters in downtown Huntington Beach that charge people to patronize local businesses.
