So you all know I have a love for Pacific City – have you been there lately to check out what is new? Lot 579 is now open! If you didn’t know, it is named after Lifeguard Towers 5, 7, and 9 and covers everything from gourmet sandwiches to ocean-to-table seafood, fish tacos to Australian meat pies, cold pops & homemade ice cream to champagne. Here is a list of places now open: Bear Flag Fish Company, Burnt Crumbs, Hans Homemade Ice Cream, Popbar, Portola Coffee Lab, Pie-Not, Petals and Pop. And soon to open will be The American Dream (superior burgers & 60 craft brews), Frosted Cupcakery (out of Belmont Shore), Il Barone Italian Street Food (pizzas, pastas, & more), Mahogany Smoked Meats (beef, turkey, elk and bison jerky). Also, now open is the Bungalow – pretty cool looking place with an eclectic design, quite the hangout. They will be offering a wide range of signature cocktails as well as serving food from Bear Flag (sent via dumb waiter).
Soooo…. You also all probably know how much I love to support Waggin’ Trails Rescue Foundation (with our signature Wags-n-Wine event and more), now I have an easy way you can also help save the lives of some dogs – shop Amazon! Yes that is right, if you shop on Amazon (I know many of you do), simply to to https://smile.amazon.com instead of the regular amazon.com. All the same prices, everything is identical. On your fist visit to smile you pick your charity – please pick Waggin’ Trails – so when you make a purchase, a donation goes to Waggn’ Trails. And all future purchases will also donate to W.T. automatically. W.T. really needs the help, they are now doing two transports a month, saving 30-50 dogs/month. That definitely adds up in costs. Please check it out.
Here is a Public Service Announcement – I figured this deserved a shout out!! First a big pat on the back to our HB Police Department for breaking up a scam that took advantage of local businesses and charities. This is the blurb form the Register newspaper:
A suspected $126 million telemarketing scheme uncovered by Huntington Beach investigators led authorities on Tuesday morning to arrest 21 people accused of defrauding small businesses and charities by selling them overpriced toner for printers and photocopiers.

Thank you Leonard at Surf City Copiers for sharing this information!! Something small businesses should be aware of!
