South Bay Newsletter (July 15)

News, events, and the inside scoop on the greatest place on earth.

What’s up SB peeps!

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

What a time to be alive.

Here’s what’s good in the SB this week 👇

Something cool is coming… 👀

Sam and I spent $2,104 (and gained a few pounds) trying to figure out the best places to eat in the South Bay.

The real locals guide.

The type of thing only a verified local could deliver.

So something special is coming in next week’s issue.

I know, my deceptive powers are too strong.

You probably couldn’t guess what it is.

When is a yacht TOO BIG?? 🛥️

On this episode of “we didn’t do the math…”

This poor boat owner.

The guy just wanted to feel the wind in his hair, the adrenaline in his veins, the freedom of the open water…

But instead, his boat hit the top of the tunnel.

Which is quite unfortunate.

What’s funny is that the first thing that came to mind for me was Tarzan.

Yes, Tarzan.

Remember when the little elephant was worried about the water cleanliness.

“Are you sure this water’s sanitary? It looks questionable to me.”

And for some reason all I can think is that this driver’s copilot was like, “Yo — are you sure we’re gonna make it? It looks kinda close.”

And the driver in full confidence said, “Will you just relax? You’re always such a worry-worry.”

Then proceeded to smash the boat on the tunnels of LAX.

Whoops.

Events 🏟️

Food 🌮

Where can you find the best burger in the South Bay?

The answer is simple: The Standing Room.

I mean, sure…it’s in the back of a liquor store and you might think that I was completely playing you or setting you up to get robbed by the teenage e-bike hoodlums.

But just go. Trust me.

And if you feel like I lied to you, call me & I’ll eat your burger for you.

Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Local Business Spotlight 💡

Speaking of E-Bikes…

If you’re in the market for one, I have a guy.

His name is Clint, and he’s the man.

He’s an Hermosa OG — a true local — and used to be a paper boy around town.

Yup, paper boy.

Oh, the good ol’ days.

But for test rides, tune ups, and e-bikes that can outrun the hoodlums…

Check out Trick E-Bike.

Know someone who runs a local business in the South Bay? We’d love to feature them. Reply to this email & give me some backstory.

Yes, I’m a real person & yes I read the emails you send me

Just another day in the greatest place on earth.

Don’t take it for granted.

See you next week.


Your boys,

Jack & Sam 🤟

See you next week!
