Have you ever wanted to see what the inside of your neighbor’s cool house looks like? Well, here’s your chance! The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy is holding their second annual Spring for White Point Home Tour on Sunday, June 1. This self-guided tour takes a look inside six diverse San Pedro homes from a downtown loft carved out from a 1930 Montgomery Ward department store to a parade ground home at Fort MacArthur to a contemporary home with an artist’s touch.
A wine and cheese party with a silent art auction and music by the Howard Ellis Quartet will be held after the tour from 4:30 –7:00 pm. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $50 per person from the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy. All proceeds go toward improving the White Point Nature Preserve and it’s habitat restoration.

New signs have been posted on 25th Street banning parking
of vehicles over 7′tall and 22′long from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
From the Council District 15 Office today:
“Councilwoman Janice Hahn announced today that a 30-day pilot program to crack down on street parking by oversized vehicles has begun in the designated RV restriction district in South San Pedro. The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADoT) installed new traffic signs stating no parking will be allowed for oversized vehicles between the hours of 2-6 a.m. in the designated RV restriction district.
“These oversized vehicles cause neighborhood blight and present safety concerns to local residents,” said Councilwoman Hahn. “This pilot program, if successful, will be spread city-wide.”
The designated RV restriction district in South San Pedro is from Western Avenue to the western City limit. Parking enforcement officers will issue warning notices to violators through this Friday. Starting this Saturday, citations will be issued to violators of the ordinance. Permits for area residents to park oversized vehicles in the designated RV restriction district are available through the LADoT for $10 a day, for a maximum of three days.”
