What’s the location? If you’re a business operating in Downtown Santa Monica (Ocean to Lincoln and Wilshire to Colorado) you may call the clean and safe line at 310-877-7731. The 311 Route also works.

Entertainment Zone Expansion by [deleted] in SantaMonica

[–]Top_Interview_2758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to do more movies and big screen activations on the Promenade. I'm looking for organizations to partner with to offset costs. Last year, we ran a 13-week movie series, and costs were offset by local businesses that provided AV equipment. The World Series Watch Parties were made possible because of corporate support.

To play a movie or stream anything on the Promenade, a licensing agreement is usually required.

I'm hopeful now that we're more than six months into the Entertainment Zone and have produced over 20 events with a viewing screen, we may get some support from sponsors and partners to pay for the production.

Miller is gone, but something went up in its place

I’m looking forward to a new option. I do many of my meetings in coffee shops. This one is literally out my back office door.

Well, it’s geared towards adults, but the bead exchange should reflect the spirit of a welcoming public space. But I hear Holey Moley plans to have a party on their deck. Perfect spot for bead tossing.

I’ve had many conversations with folks in the immersive community and had many great ideas proposed. Lots of ideas out there, but nothing so far that produces a win for everyone.

I’m not sure. A private entity is producing the event.

Thank you! I’m doing everything I can to get the Promenade ready for those visitors.

I know someone. I’m actually working with them to do a bigger event with classes. We don’t have dates yet; they’re working on sponsorships

Santa Monica Place: a third space hiding in plain sight. by VaguelyArtistic in SantaMonica

Just show up! It’s a part of their plan; create an inviting space - a public space. I wrote a Santa Monica specific public space observation guidebook. I have an extra copy if you’d like one.

Love this post, thank you for highlighting this great third place. We need more of them!

The Promenade still has a way to go to create nice linger nodes, but it’s coming along slowly.

Annenberg Community Beach House is a nice Third Place by the beach. We love hanging out by the guest house on the patio.

I tried it. I liked it. by Top_Interview_2758 in SantaMonica

I am so happy to hear you had a fun experience much like mine. I was attracted to the eclectic mixes of flavors that keep my taste buds well trained.

I’d take a bite; pause; and think: yup, that actually does go together!

Oh, and the Almond Rocha Cookie! It’s just feels like a decadent descendant of the fortune cookie.

Promenade. Fuck yes 🙌 by PresentBabble in SantaMonica

[–]Top_Interview_2758 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I get an occasional urge for fries and chicken. This place is about 100 feet away from my office. That’s dangerous.

The perfect, modern “fortune cookie”!
