Is the Luck of the Irish with you?
Spring is right around the corner, as the first day of the season this year is Friday the 20th. Be sure to celebrate it with a trip to the park or a walk around the neighborhood! Also, let's not forget about St. Patrick's Day! There are sure to be many activities taking place so have fun, be safe and enjoy the festivities!
- The Hollywood Riviera is in the City of Torrance, but has a Redondo Beach zip code (90277) and unlike many other Torrance communities, "The Riviera" (as some residents call it) has a distinct feel that sets it apart from neighboring communities.
The original developer of the Hollywood Riviera was entranced by the movie business and felt that the seaside properties would be a natural location for the Hollywood “set” to buy and build. A few movies were made in the thirties and few smart producers bought properties, but the Hollywood scene never materialized. What did materialize are delightful cluster of shops, restaurants, café bistros and galleries know as the "Riviera Village".

I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who doesn't work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
