The entire South shores was lit up in much splendor for the annual South Shores Holiday Decoration Contest. Awards were delivered to the winners. This year’s selection was a difficult one, so much so, that four awards were awards. Enthusiasm was high and several neighbors suggested a Halloween event.

The Sociables will resume their “get togethers” February 12.

CyberWatch and LAPD reports, indicate that South Shores community, is still the safest area in San Pedro; this is in spite of some nefarious activity lately. There have been numerous sightings of coyotes, consequently, be extra cautious with small pets and open back yards.       

My meeting with Councilman Tim McOsker, unfortunately was rained out.  Topics for discussion, the many unresolved “open issues” affecting South Shores.
