Well it looks like the hard financial times it all the way around. I was talking to the folks down at our animal shelter (21632 Newland Ave), and they were saying adoptions are way down. If you are thinking at all about getting a dog or cat, please please consider adopting one. There are so many animals out there badly in need of a loving home. A few of them are posted on TheLocalHB ( http://thelocalhb.com/HB_locals/Pet_Adoption.html) , or better yet go by and give them a visit, it will be hard to walk out of there without a new "family member". Need some convincing as to how special dogs are as companions? watch this video: www.dogwork.com/feeling - it will make you smile for sure.
Looking for something to do this Friday night?
Think about heading on down to Old World for a some comedy improv. The Corporate Recess Players are performing. I've been to the show and is was darn funny. We laughed so hard. And, not only do you get a fun evening, you'll be helping out our very own Miss Huntington Beach with her charity fundraising efforts. If you go, when you buy your tickets, just say it is for Miss HB and a portion of the ticket sales go to her program. The show is only $15 pp and Old World is located at 7561 Center Ave. The show starts at 7pm (arrive early) and reservations can be made at 714-362-7480.
Another fun thing going on this weekend is a classic car show at the HB Elks Lodge on 7711 Talbert Ave. (it runs from 8:30am to 3pm). The admission is free and you find food, drink, vendors and raffles as well as plenty of cars and motorcycles. It is all to benefit the "The Will Surf Again" program which offers adaptive surfing for those who have suffered spinal cord injuries. Yep, another fun event for a good cause. So go out there have have a real good time.

US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach - on now!
Have you ventured to down town yet to see the US Open of Surfing? The week started off with manageable crowds, but this weekend is going to be crazy! I was down there today and couldn't believe all the people. Got some great shots of the surfers though - that is when there was a wave to catch! The details of the competition are on my calendar page. check it out. If you are going to brave the crowds, you might want to take the free shuttle from City Hall (details also on the calendar page).
While downtown, one of the fun attractions we now have is the GW Segway Tours ...right at 300 PCH you'll find them (across from the Pier). You can't get in much more fun than being on the beach riding a segway. Want more details? Check it out HERE . They have all kinds of package deals and you can take advantage of a two for one discount at www.SurfCitySavings.com , under the Leisure/Fun category. I've done the tour... and I'm not kidding, riding those segways on the sand is SO fun. See it in action on this video.
Finally, if you plan on going downtown and anticipate a lot of walking, let me recommend a shoe store store that can't be beat to make your feet feel incredible! It's called Foot Solutions , and they offer shoes, inserts, and other foot care products for work, dress or play. They are located at 1811 Xemino in Long Beach - yes it is across the "border" from us, but there is no place in HB like it, and they are great! I've talked to so many folks wearing their shoes and they swear by them! I made sure to check them out myself and I totally agree! You can also give them a call at 562-961-3200,,,tell them TheLocalHB sent you.
