This is a real photo postcard of Mariner’s Mile circa 1941. On the bottom left you can see the Arches restaurant which opened in 1926 and PCH running south under the classic arched bridge. This postcard intrigues me so much due to the lack of development depicted. Definitely before Newport’s boom with very few homes on Lido Isle, no homes on the hills overlooking the bay and very few buildings on Mariner’s Mile itself.
Beautiful waterfall on one of the best beaches on earth….rare treat over the weekend!
This drone video dates back to July, taken during the Core 3 party. Happy Holidays.
Well….been awhile. A few photos of what has been going on.

Mutant Thanksgiving – deep fried two turkeys and two hams
deep fried turkey hearts anyone?
Aloe is blooming
The Starfish Flower Cactus on our patio have been blooming several of these flowers over the past two months. These flowers bud for several weeks and when they bloom, the flower only last two or so days and attracts lots of fly’s.
If you missed the HB Airshow last weekend don’t let that happen next year. The jets flew right over HQ several times and we saw one jet punch the sound barrier.
Last week a lime green Lamborghini crashed on PCH near Cappy’s Cafe. The crash was so loud it easily awoke me and most of the neighborhood from a sound sleep.

Was this the last scorching weekend of 2016? Is fall upon us? Only time will tell.
This is Sunday’s sunset….a true gem. Last week we saw two green flashes on consecutive sunsets.
Thanks Jack for putting together these clips of me having fun in the recent large waves.
Two weekends ago the RVCA Pro Jr. and the Newport Beach Championships went down among some very large surf.
West Newport is set to receive all the accumulated sand that currently sits where the Pacific meets the Santa Ana River trail all the way up to Adams Street. It is a huge project and most of the sand will be sent through a pipe that runs down the beach in front of HQ and out into the ocean somewhere between 28th and 40th street. The project has started and will run thru April 2017. For more information on the project check out their website here. One head spinning fact listed on the site…..since 1991 it has cost 533 million dollars to keep the lower Santa Ana River clear of sand.
I’m not a speed bump! Fun corner….thanks Jack for capturing this.
just some fun waves at one of the best beaches in the world!
