Rekindling Holiday Magic The holiday card that I found the other day at the Laguna Colony Company on Forest Avenue said: “Christmas Therapy Group.” It pictured a caricature of a psychiatrist sitting in front of a semi-circle that included Santa, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Reindeer, and an Elf. The dialogue bubble over Santa’s [...]

Home is Here When I climbed the steps to the Congregational Church on Thanksgiving day, I didn’t know what to expect. In all the years I have lived in Laguna, I’ve never gone to the community potluck. Hesitating at the upper landing while carefully balancing my recently cooked pumpkin casserole, I started to see [...]
Editor, Green architect Chris Prelitz’s proposal to transform and revitalize Laguna Beach as an eco-destination is right on the money (“Eco-Trade Not to be Ignored,” Nov. 28). In the face of economic uncertainty, art and other luxury items are the first thing to go; this fresh identity for the town could save it from eventual [...]
Editor, I’ve lived in Laguna Beach a little over 75 years and, laugh if you like, but I still feel pretty spry, and I like to think that I’ve grown wiser as I‘ve grown older. Sadly, those 75 years have passed like a quick shadow over the lawn. But I digress. I have [...]
Locals Branch Out With Twig A new gift store, Twig, will open at 1175 S. Coast Highway this month, the brainchild of longtime Laguna Beach residents Susan Elliott and David Richardson.

That’s Why We Live Here! Turkey weekend’s incredible weather was a perfect example of why we live in this beautiful corner of the world. While most of the nation is gearing up for Ol’ Man Winter’s arrival, we’re laughin’ under bright sunshine and 80 degree temps at water’s edge. Makes you wonder, gee, what [...]
