Much of this stretch of Hermosa Beach is about to change. Boots died last week. He was 85 years old and owned the property from Good Stuff to The Mermaid and up Pier Avenue almost to Hermosa Avenue. Also the owner of Scotty's died and the owner of Sea Sprite is selling off several beach front properties. I'm afraid old Hermosa Beach is about to experience a major transformation. I sure hope the city officials and the residents who will inevitably vote for a new beach front plan will try to preserve the old feel of Hermosa.
And for those of you who may remember Uncle Bills restuarant, a Manhattan Beach landmark and my father's favorite breakfast place since the 60s, is also prime for change. The owner also passed away last week. Change is coming.
