I was just reading the article in the Daily Breeze about the graffiti on the wall on the strand of Hermosa Beach. How dare they!! I believe those responsible are calling it Funsters. If it looks like duck, walks like a duck and swims like a duck it is a duck. In other words by drawing on the walls in Hermosa, whether it be with calk or spray paint it is graffiti and the ones doing it should be accountable financially for it. Sigisfredo Moreno power-washes off a long stretch of “Funism” chalk art along the Strand in Hermosa Beach on Thursday morning. The company he works for is contracted by Hermosa Beach to remove graffitti. Funism group had planned to clean up their art, but the city beat them to it.

The company he works for is contracted by Hermosa Beach to remove graffitti. Funism group had planned to clean up their art, but the city beat them to it. (Brad Graverson —Daily Breeze Staff Photographer) Last week, many city workers pressure-washed a chalk mural that began near 22nd Street and stretched a few blocks along The Strand. Supposedly, K.P. and several other Funism followers had planned to wash the drawings that they had done days before, but the city got there first. So bill the “artists” for this and let them pay for the cleanup. The city, along with most residents and visitors consider it an eyesore. By allowing this and it continuing , you are inviting others to come in and add their graffetti. Let’s remember, that those who use spray paint and tag also consider their work "art". Read More

This was an unusual event. But then the Seattle Seahawks are an unusual team. Led by an unusual head coach Pete Carroll. At team will mirror their coach and the Seahawks certainly do just that. How many NFL players would take the time to go through the kitchen at the health food store, “My Fit Foods” and thank the cooks who fed them all week while they were there? Lets be clear: NFL offenses don't usually work out together in April on a beach hundreds of miles from the team facility. The players came from all over the country. There regimen consisted of lunging, sprinting and skipping across Hermosa's notoriously soft sand. This challenged the players' lower bodies in ways many of them hadn't experienced. And then there was the weight training circuits designed by Subin, owner of the The Yard, and the weight training was tweaked based on feedback from the players. Their meals were catered by a health food shop up the street. After lunch they would make a short drive to the field-turf at Mira Costa High School, where Wilson would throw and 20 receivers, backs and tight ends caught. And this is how The winning of the super Bowl began in The South Bay. Read More
