Look At This: Redondo Beach

[@ronscott7]

Spent my childhood in Redondo Beach. Back when average folks could afford to live there. 1977-1983 was a great time to be in the south bay!

[@boneeatingsilicate580]

My home right behind pier since 1995. Best place on the planet.

[@worldsapart509]

I love Redondo, wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

[@christophermyers3758]

I worked in the Riveria Village part of Redondo Beach, and our office had clients all through Palos Verdes to the south. Beautiful area... miss it! 😢

[@whip525]

Frank loyd Wright is a legend. The waterfall house he made is beautiful

[@stevestreet2825]

Dude walked around wearing a cape.

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

Especially like the Frank Lloyd wright roof the long overhanging over the property around the house which actually protected the house from the rain and kept the house cooler naturally

[@martinzubero9526]

I lived in this city for over 5 years. It’s really beautiful and geared towards families.

[@Mimistarr1]

I grew up swimming at the Sea Side Lagoon ♥️

Let me know when you start turning into Spiderman or Spidergirl. jk

[@travisyarbrough4033]

The Lighthouse and Queen Mary are my newer digs. Grew up in the South Bay and those three beaches over 35 years. I remember the fires and the boulders from the break wall flying through the air from an El Nino swell that was EPIC !!!!! Thanks for the great shots and great history lesson.

[@rattanack1413]

Glad you like longbeach, such a hidden gem.

[@dianabeurman364]

ABSOLUTELY A GEM IN THE CROWN OF CALIFORNIA!

[@californiabreeze2182]

good news instead of bad news.

[@nialltd]

Lovely place I had long holidays there stayed with my uncle shay Duffin back in the 1996 97 great memories

[@mr.originaloneniceguy]

Thanks, CBS Los Angeles, for this info, please do more

[@dwiseus]

He said the predecessor burned down in the 80’s? When I was a kid, the entire thing was wood, the concrete was added later. That’s interesting.

[@mikefuentes2657]

Remember the fire that gutted Tony’s I was a kid.

[@devengudinas1649]

Tony’s is still there. It gutted cattlemen’s

[@knuclear200x]

I love the pier. Saw a seal last year too

[@MichaelDuignan-p2c]

It burned again in 1988 during construction . I watched it on our 2nd floor tv in Hermosa and above the tv out the window I could see the smoke coming up from the pier

[@911RoyMan]

Nice!

[@v1-vr-rotatev2-vy_vx31]

Yes that was our old stomping grounds in the '60s and early seventies,

[@LeTrashPanda]

Wyland's art is still on the old Edison plant? I used to live 3 blocks from here as a kid, turned me into a total beach / surf bum.

[@geosqueezebox4016]

They didn't mention they closed down the Fun Factory.

[@jaxy5898]

That still upsets me😞

[@lorenheard2561]

The city council wanted to make a fricken mall on that land the Pier sits on.. They just wanted it built their own way( whatever that is) and kept messing w/ Shark Attacks' lease and HARRASSING Fun Factorys' owner till he closed.. Pollys' On The Pier was forced away from the other small pier near a boat launch to a corner near a bar- out of business- All three..

[@apetheicon1337]

I love the south bay the local community has pride and keeps the trash out to prevent it from becoming Santa Monica/ Venice

[@perricalamari]

Just look at it

[@roberthartford6614]

Yeah, have a dezman take a look at skid row or the 5 fwy. that's a never ending project.

[@MarioLoco03]

The lagoon water comes from a power plant??

[@AmyJuneful]

I know!! I was shocked to hear that!

[@lorenheard2561]

WOW!!!!WARM WATER COMES FROM BEING HEATED IN A BOILER!!!!!

[@drumtwo4seven]

Nice area. I wonder how much rent is there.

[@gobanito]

LOL Alot.

[@arcanepandagaming8868]

Looks like a paradise for the rich :/

[@jonnyfendi2003]

...oh don't worry the homeless you advocate for will destroy this place too...

[@worldsapart509]

Paradise for all!

[@thatdude3977]

Stinks of whotes. Sea poop water 🤢

[@lorenheard2561]

I grew up in Torrance and walked or rode my bike to the beach in the eighties. It was more working class and middle class when I was a kid. Tons of people worked in the Oil refineries,and in Aerospace. Democrat "environmentalists" and BIG on regulations and Socialism( while they took over California along with the RINOS ) helped destroy everything. Nothing like Dystopia!!

[@JillTaylor-b9i]

Home😢

Demi Moore lived here when she was in high school...😁

[@dave3207]

Good lucky trying to find parking

[@gobanito]

Depending on the time of day you go, plenty of spots at the esplanade.

[@carolynnkay2165]

why are there helicopters still here on Monday?

[@RobertSmith-vc8vz]

It’s crowded enough. Stop it

[@livinincalifornia]

That anchor looks like he's ded inside.

[@yurydolinsky]

Can they please zoom in on all the homeless camps

[@calihuntfish7163]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@worldsapart509]

no homeless camps in Redondo!

[@yurydolinsky]

@@worldsapart509 I am sorry I forgot we can't use that term. Unhoused , outdoorsy or concrete camping. There, feel better?

[@xtinamarie_333]

Pffffft, not here!

[@lisalife798]

Who ever you're you do not need to worry about homeless camps there worry about your own state I'm pretty sure it is going on There to hater

[@bjorn-jameshanrahan8183]

Yuppies

[@cloutgangster]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@RuggedBrotha]

TOO MANY PEOPLE.

[@gedwardmackie2624]

They need to get the homeless guy off the pier . He's got one section of the pier locked up. And has about 6 fishing poles he's there 24/7 .no chance for others to fish on that corner . In front of bait shop. Pier is going down hill.

[@jillwklausen]

We've got lots of revitalization in the works. Check out the city council meetings sometime. Lots going on. Cheers!

[@lorenheard2561]

BOO!! GLAD YOU ARE HOPING FOR "CHANGE!" I'VE HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH OF DEMOCRAT,FRICKEN CHANGE!!! THE PIER WAS FINE BEFORE ALL THE "DO GOODERS"!!.

[@RuggedBrotha]

OVERATTED. COST TOO DAM MUCH... CRIME THROUGH THE ROOF.. CRAZY PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. DONT COME HERE.

[@ri067953]

Lol...where? Maybe in North Redondo on the border of Lawndale you'll see SOME crazy people but nowhere near anything you see in other places in L.A. county. Born and raised in Redondo and I love my city

[@snakepl1skin]

Place is ghetto af especially the pier aka little Mexico lol

[@diesellokesh8981]

@@snakepl1skin lol 😆

[@diesellokesh8981]

Nice pier to take all my lovely ladies for a walk pimp

[@worldsapart509]

@@snakepl1skin South Redondo isn't ghetto and neither are any of the beach cities. You must be thinking of another community. Beach cities are probably not your cup of tea..

[@Wildhorse66]

Y'all missed the homeless people

[@The_Quaalude]

We need a tsunami to wash it all away

[@thatdude3977]

Does it smell like pee and poop there? Disgusting

[@sharonredd6146]

No it does not smell...great place to be and enjoy!

[@thedailychailatte]

No it doesnt. Its really beautiful.

[@lollyplopperblue6239]

It's really not an incredible harbor.

[@lorenheard2561]

You must have NO idea how better the place became with a break wall. The old Pier was more fun,but at least it was RE- built. My problem is that they started " gentrification" and it IS going to do one of two things... Be RE- modeled and IT WILL LOSE WHAT'S LEFT OF ITS' CHARM,OR IT WILL GO DOWN HILL BECAUSE THE CITY NEGLECTED REPAIRS..TO GET RID OF OLDER TENANTS.

[@devengudinas1649]

They are fixing it up now. They were in legal battles for 4 years
