Sunday, Post-CA Governor's Stay At Home Order, Manhattan Beach, 3.22.2020
 
Manhattan Beach, California, the Sunday after Governor Newsom ordered the whole state to stay at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. My partner and I decided to hang out and walk on The Strand, and see how people were practicing social distancing.

Gelato And Angels is a pretty good gelato place. Because of the social distancing, only one person or small group of people allowed in the shop at at time. The proprietor seemed very happy we came in, and was very nice to us.

I thought this condo development was nice for newer construction; this is definitely not a generic Home Depot door. I will say that in general, Manhattan Beach doesn't have good architecture... and I mainly mean that for its commercial corridors. It has some nice old bungalows left over from the early 20th Century, but a lot of the residential is post-war blah, with some totally tasteless tacky monstrosities and oversized modern thrown in.

by the standards of certain european Mediterranean communities....with lots of old world history....MB is no big deal. but one thing I noticed between MB and the pics of long beach...the east coast one...from mynyc is landscaping.

There's more of that visible in one, a lack of as much in the other. not sure if that's due to the winters in the east being harsher so it's tougher to keep plants alive....or if ppl in NY's long beach focus their properties on other things.

but it does affect the vibe of a place.
