Charles and Willa Bruce moved to California from New Mexico with son Harvey. In 1912 they bought land on Manhattan Beach and opened a resort . The resort was one of the first to welcome African Americans to the coast. In 1924 city officials seized two dozen properties through eminent domain. Bruces fought in court, lost, and left the area: the proposed park was never built. On Friday Los Angeles County officials announced the land was being returned. The family are yet to say what they will do with the land, worth around $72m.

The emoji are bright yellow, with artificially long eyelashes and crisscrossed eyes. One’s tongue lolls out; the other’s mouth is zippered shut. They are painted against the pink facade of a Manhattan Beach, California, home embroiled in a feud between neighbors that has boiled over into a fight with the city. The fracas began last year, when Kathryn Kidd bought the 39th Street duplex, according to Easy Reader News, and rolled into the neighborhood in a Mercedes convertible with a license plate holder that read, "Move Over Princess, The Queen Has Arrived."

The 405 Freeway underpass along Venice Boulevard has become a flashpoint in the escalating homelessness crisis plaguing Southern California. The road is a border between worlds. On the north side of the famed street is Los Angeles -- and a sidewalk packed with sun-bleached tents, dirty sleeping bags, bikes in various states of disrepair and even a few surfboards belonging to residents of the underpass’ homeless population. On the south side is Culver City, a storied moviemaking hub and a peaceful suburban oasis. On a recent weekday morning, Culver City’s side was noticeably bereft of any sign of the homeless...

Allah is the name of the moon god of Mohammed's Quraysh Tribe in Arabia. The religion that Mohammed dictated under the influence of Allah, Islam, is a perverse totalitarian homosexual death cult. The views espoused by Muslims are virtually identical to that of modern progressive liberals. Among those victimized by Islam, besides its enemies which are routinely sodomized prior to getting their heads cut off, are women and kids who are viewed as just a necessary nuisance to make more little sodomite death cult members. Islam merely takes every vial deed that depraved men commit and codifies it. Progressive liberals...

Claudio X. Pinto, who lived in Hermosa Beach at the time of his arrest in March, is due in court in Torrance on Aug. 21 to have a date set to face trial on a charge of loitering "about toilet to solicit lewd acts," according to a Los Angeles County District Attorney's spokeswoman. Pinto, 48, was one of 18 men arrested by Manhattan Beach police when they conducted surveillance of a public restroom on the beach at Marine Avenue. MBPD acted in response to a request from L.A. County lifeguards who'd noticed increased pedestrian traffic near the bathrooms, the same...

Anti-plastic-bag forces got a boost today when the California Supreme Court ruled that an environmental impact report is not necessary before a city or county bans the use of plastic shopping bags. The decision strikes down rulings by trial and appellate courts in Los Angeles in the legal fight over an ordinance enacted in 2008 by the south coastal city of Manhattan Beach banning "point-of-sale plastic carry-out bags." Both courts said the city had to prepare an EIR before implementing its ban. "We disagree," a unanimous Supreme Court stated.

Assistant United States Attorney Gregory Lesser climbed up on stage along with fellow band member and former Manhattan Beach Mayor Russ Lesser, Attorney Jim Miller and a few others at the Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair. They then proceeded to break the law - California Penal Code Section 415 - Disturbing the Peace There are three ways to violate this statute, the members of the band chose "(3) Any person who uses offensive words in a public place which are inherently likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction." The band had written a song especially for the benefit of individuals in...

The members of South Bay Open Carry want to win people over with reason and sound arguments, not agitation and confrontation. And so, on Saturday, about 20 armed members of the group had a friendly chat with the Manhattan Beach police before they entered the city's annual Home Town Fair. The discussion was to instruct the gun owners on the boundaries of where they could - and couldn't - go. Earlier in the week, the two sides had been at loggerheads about the city's insistence that a facility at nearby American Martyrs Church constituted a schoolyard, places where guns are...

Though the guns that will be holstered to dozens of people at this weekend’s Hometown Fair won’t be loaded, the debate over the right to carry them has been. Despite initial warnings from Hometown Fair Board members and the Manhattan Beach Police Department that people with firearms at the event would be arrested, volunteers of South Bay Open Carry (SBOC) made it clear that they will not leave their guns at home, citing their Second Amendment right to bear arms. A quarrel over guns at the event began with the fair board threatening arrests. “They are opening themselves up to...

Isn't that nice? The city of Manhattan Beach is renaming an oceanfront park, Bruces' Beach, after Charles A. and Willa Bruce, an African-American couple who had purchased the land in 1912 and developed it into a beachfront resort in the 1920s. The Bruces were driven off their land in the mid-1920s, according to a Los Angeles Times article last week, after city officials became uncomfortable with the idea of numerous black people sunbathing and dining at Bruces' Lodge. At the urging of the local community, the officials discovered a compelling public interest in creating a public park on that very...
