You think the weird transplants in this sub who've lived in SM for 9 months remember this? They'd rather complain about homeless people and glaze Vons for literally just existing as a corporation
I checked out Vons the other day. It was 9am on a Tuesday. Parking lot was quiet. As I went up the escalator I could hear commotion in the store. A homeless stole some shit and she was surrounded by 5 security guards screaming about how they're racist.
I just chuckled and said "welcome to Santa Monica".
You can buy these printed off Etsy. We used to grab them off the city trash cans with hot water and face cloth which would loosen the glue. These are the best!
Bro, the airport is foundational to Santa Monica’s history. Trying to erase it from the story to justify a fantasy park and housing plan is revisionist chicanery. Cities don’t become better by pretending the infrastructure that made them functional was a moral mistake.
It's included in the original city seal for a damn good reason.
Hell yes I miss it but it's triggering me that you posted it about 3-4 degrees off counterclockwise. 🔄
Damnit now I can’t unsee it

They have no idea

I was saying the other day how lame the current Santa Monica logo is. Looks like Microsoft Paint bullshit. It could really use a revamp.
Rip City Skates makes some cool clothing with their version of the old santa monica seal. Support your local skate shop!

Ya I just saw one on the beach the other day that’s what made me think of it. And now because of all this I found someone to hook me up with Og gear
Not really
no
Oh no? I do.
Cool. You asked, so you got an answer.
Multiple apparently
Fortunate people in a city of fortune, or so they say.
Yeah I knew something was off
Nah

You were the coolest if you had an original dumpster version on your car back in the day

Not to mention we fare better than most other municipalities during emergency because of the airport.
Besides those are seaplanes they don’t need airports
ah, my friend, ive lived under the airport my entire life, many decades now.
i marveled at the planes as a child and i'm happy to see my own kids doing so too.
but the long term health impacts of the planes on the community is undeniable.
i dont care if there is a park there as long as we stop having commercial flights take off over family neighborhoods.
.... which is the entirety of the Santa Monica Terminal Control Area and Los Angeles Terminal Control Areas...
that's right!
Invest in e-planes and drones and you won't have to worry about toxic fumes.
The airport was a park before it was an airport. We're actually returning to SM's foundation.
Environmental hazard + noise population for a select few to use 🔥🔥
