I love that our neighborhood offers historical San Pedro Springs Park directly across the street with a live theater, tennis courts, a spring-fed pool (open in Summer) and a library. THE PEARL - an old brewery that has been converted into a 5-star hotel with amazing restaurants, shopping delights, free covered-parking and is the start of the Riverwalk into Downtown, LA FONDA ON MAIN - an amazing Mexican restaurant, SANCHOS - nearby dive bar, PHO SURE - a tasty Pho restaurant, BARBARO - an award-winning bar/pizzeria, THE COVE – a live music, beer and burger restaurant- just a few nearby tourist delights.
