Why I Love Santa Monica

By West Hooker-Poletti, Locanda del Lago

I love Santa Monica…because in August Italy comes to me. On a warm August night I walked the restaurant’s dining room and stopped to greet tables as I often do. An hour into it, I realized that every single guest I had met was Italian, and not a local Italian…they were all visitors from Italy. Adding to it that the hostess was Italian, three waiters were Italian, and the Italian chef was in the kitchen expediting the food, I did not have to speak a single word of English for the rest of the evening…I felt as if I was living in my hometown Bellagio, a summer resort on Lake Como, Italy!

    I Love Santa Monica, because of Arizona Street.
    I have three (3) business ideas for Santa Monica,
    A Tropical Fish Store (which will also support my Bird Sanctuary), A Music Club for bands and Bar,
    and a Restaurant on 2nd street.
    Maybe My Dreams will com True for These Ventures, then other Ideas I have could come true. Thank You Step Up on Second and Opcc Annenberg, and the Santa Monica Library, as well as the Police Department. CosmicMueller.

    I believe the library on Santa Monica Blvd. should have a Notary Public on Site. Other Librarys do accross the U.S.
    I further Believe Step Up on Second should have Vans (2) donated to them for Travel and New Computers with Fax and printers, and Refurbish Step Up on Second.
    Sincerely, Cosmic Mueller

    I love Santa Monica but both the tropical fish and the Bird Sactuary idea are dumb.
