Trader Joe's has pulled a permit to sell alcohol at a new location it intends to open at 23rd Street and Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica. When the car wash at that location was torn down in May, the neighborhood was full or rumors that the national grocery chain would soon draw a ton of traffic to the already crowded intersection, by opening a new store.

In response to our article of December 26, (In the Face of E-Commerce, Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade Struggles to Remain Relevant), we were contacted by Downtown Santa Monica, Inc., the public-private entity that manages the downtown, for a tour of the 3rd Street Promenade and a discussion of how it is and will remain relevant for the foreseeable future. We're always up for a tour, so last Friday I met with Kathleen Rawson, CEO of DTSM, Inc., and she schooled me about the Third Street...
In covering the districting issue, you may perhaps not understand why some of us long time SM renters fear this issue as an existential threat to our very lives. No exaggeration.
