Beat Walk Hermosa

Monday, 11 January 2010 07:16 administrator

Welcome to our newest feature called "Beat Walk Hermosa". Our contributors will roam the streets of Hermosa Beach and report back with news and impressions.

On our first tour today afternoon between 5 pm and 6 pm our team walked down on Pier ave. from PCH to the pier and back. It was a warm and sunny day. The temperature was approx 75 deg. F.
On the lower part of Pier ave. a very artistic looking wall mural/graffiti was being painted inside the Coastal Connection skate shop. At the Pier/Strand several emergency vehicles were parked and first responders were tending to an injured person. The details of the injury are unknown to us but bystanders were heard talking about a person falling of the pier. While continuing on to the Pier the waves seemed very high and while reaching the end of the Pier a police officer in a car drove up the pier to announce that the Pier will be closed for the day. Time of this announcement was approx 5.30 pm. Regular pier closing time is 10 pm !?. Reasons were not mentioned. Heading back on Pier ave. the Blockbuster store on upper Pier ave. had just closed but this time for good. This was the last day of operations before going out of business. The wide selection of movies and the great service will be missed. The Vons grocery shop next to Blockbuster was very busy though. And this concludes our premier "Beat Walk Hermosa".

WaMu Chase(d) Away

Friday, 11 December 2009 14:23 administrator

The takeover of of WaMu by Chase Bank is generating more and more complaints and clients are chased away. As this complaint board proves, clients are not happy with the way things are going and the aggressive attitude Chase Bank is showing. There have been complaints by clients about unauthorized deductions of unannounced fees from their accounts as well. Sometimes amounting to hundreds of dollars.

Another problem is loans. According to Scott K. loan officer at the Manhattan Beach branch, loans are processing very slowly and it sometimes takes up to 12 month. Leaving the client in limbo and unable to refinance or purchase a home.
