...Real Special!
Rolling Hills (Palos Verdes Peninsula )
“
Our city consists of 660 one level ranch homes on 3 square miles, 1908 acres, equestrian properties with 23 miles of equestrian trails and 2 community riding rings. the population as estimated in the 2010 census is 1860. For the tennis enthusiast, the city offers 3 community tennis courts.
”
“Our first encounter with the “Inman team” began about 8 years ago when we were purchasing a home in Rolling Hills. Gordon represented the seller of the home. We were so impressed with how Gordon handled the complicated and difficult transaction that when the need to sell that home due to a job relocation occurred, Gordon was the first person we contacted to represent us. Needless to say, our encounter with the Inman team was again flawless. We can’t say enough great things about the Inman team. They are full service even helped us find a great rental on short notice to bridge the time before we moved out of state. Our only regret is that we were not able to take the Inman team with us to the East Coast to help us find our home there. You can not find a more professional, thorough, experienced, and honest real estate team. Gordon Inman and his team are the best!” - TOM & ELAINE KENNEDY

The Great Depression, which began in 1929, had an extremely debilitating effect on the original unincorporated Palos Verdes Project. Many lot owners defaulted on their property taxes, and the Palos Verdes Homeowners Association, which maintained the Project, was in deep financial straits. Notwithstanding that the public properties, including the beach and golf clubs, were devoted to public uses, the land was taxable as private property because it was owned by the Homes Assn. By 1938 the Homes Association owed the State of California $50,000 for taxes and feared that the State of California might sell these public properties at tax sale, and the community would lose its most valuable assets. An election was held in December, 1939, at which the voters decided to form the city of Palos Verdes Estates to have taxing authority and to solve the financial crisis. Immediately upon the organization of the City of Palos Verdes Estates in July, 1940, all of the park lands, the swimming club and the golf club were transferred to the City, and the back taxes were forgiven by the State. The Miraleste section of the Palos Verdes project remained unincorporated, but subject to the deed restrictions of the Palos Verdes Homeowners Association and the Palos Verdes Art Jury. The City of Rolling Hills Estates officially became Los Angeles County’s 60th municipality on September 18, 1957. In that first year, the City’s population totaled only 3,500. Annexation of new areas to the City was another ongoing concern during the City’s early years. In 1958, areas were added to the eastern and western portions of the City. Later annexations from 1960-66 included numerous recently constructed housing developments. In 1982, the site of the former Palos Verdes Landfill was annexed to assure that City concerns regarding this closed facility would be recognized. The City of Rolling Hills was also incorporated in 1957. The Rolling Hills City Hall was constructed in 1967. Rolling Hills is a gated community designed to preserve the equestrian lifestyle. In 1969, the new County Master Plan for the remaining unincorporated area of the Peninsula provided for a population density far beyond what the local residents wanted. In response, a Peninsula-wide organization was formed that same year called Save Our Coastline (SOC). After several unsuccessful fights against the County’s Master Plan for the Peninsula, it became evident that the only way to preserve the environment and to gain control over local zoning issues was through incorporation as the fourth city on the Peninsula. The election to incorporate Rancho Palos Verdes was finally held on August 28, 1973. An overwhelming majority of 5 to 1 voted in favor of incorporation. The first City Hall offices were located in the former SOC offices in the Golden Cove Center at the corner of Hawthorne Boulevard and Palos Verdes Drive West. One of the first actions taken by the new City Council was to declare a building moratorium and to begin work on preparing the City’s General Plan. The City offices eventually moved to the former Nike missile base administrative offices just above their first offices. The first City Council seated left to right, Marilyn Ryan, Gunther Buerk, and, Robert Ryan.

Once Upon a time… This issue marks our 2nd Anniversary of South Bay Digs! In just two short years, South Bay Digs has become the largest and most influential, 100% targeted real estate lifestyle media platform serving the affluent coastal neighborhoods of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” ~John F. Kennedy
DIGS was born in the “Digital Revolution,” — a time when disruptive and transformational shifts were redefining the media landscape. We didn’t set out to invent, rather innovate. Our mission was to align ourselves with the forces of change and build out the ultimate “next generation” media platform that would redefine the local real estate experience. We see ourselves as ‘connectors,’ bringing local real estate professionals, architects, mortgage lenders, interior designers, builders, banks and lending institutions together with active real estate consumers in our hyper-local South Bay community. We accomplish this with a target market | audience approach and a focus on relevant, engaging and resource rich content in a highly fragmented and congested media environment.
We exist to add value to our marketing partners and the local community. Noteworthy Platform Highlights: Over $350 Million in Active Inventory in every Issue of DIGS Over 2,600,000 Total Media Impressions delivered across all Media Channels Over 570,000 DIGS Magazines Served in 2012 Over 417,000 Digital Page Views Served across all Digital Newsstands Over 261,000 Digital Page Views Served on www.southbaydiggs.com DIGS is GLOBAL: 85 Countries have Viewed our Digital Magazines Over 28,000 Video Views on DIGS YouTube Channel across 107 Countries Over 35,000 Video Minutes Watched on DIGS YouTube Channel Over 500 downloads of the free DIGS APP
our thanks. We are humbled and truly grateful for our continued growth and the special relationship we have with the local community. We understand consumers have a choice, and we are committed to deliver only the best — to continue to innovate and add value wherever we can.

martha’ s 22n d stre e t grill WRITTEN By: Quin n R o b erts Location. Location. Location. While that may be the first thing you notice when visiting Martha’s 22nd Street Grill in Hermosa Beach, it won’t be the only thing that leaves an impression. Just steps from the sand, Martha’s has been a mainstay in the South Bay since 1983 with its eclectic menu and family friendly atmosphere. “We consistently have good quality food. I really believe that,” said manager Ann
“It is a fun menu and really has something for everyone. You are bound to find something you like,” Lathrop said. “Customers know everything is fresh. We use nothing from a can, even making our hollandaise sauce several times in a day.” Yet, the specials board is also a big hit. Changing often with such choices as lemon and ricotta pancakes and pesto and corn hash, the specials allow the restaurant to experiment with different flavor combinations. And if they are

Some other favorites of the locals include: scrambled white corn with fresh herbs and havarti cheese ($9.50), scrambled chorizo ($8.50) and scrambled sun-dried tomato with chopped bacon and parmesan cheese ($10.25). The fresh blueberry pancakes ($6.00 for 2 pieces) and fresh toast ($5.50 for 2 pieces) are also local favorites.

And while the line can get rather long on the weekends and anytime the weather is nice, the large outdoor patio definitely makes Martha’s worth the wait. “Martha’s is sort of like a family. We have seen kids grow up and now bring their families to Martha’s,” Lathrop said. “That I think is what has kept us around this long.”

PREMIER COASTAL LIVING SPECIALISTS Staci Brooks You could call her “Miss Congeniality”, Staci wants to befriend everybody and mostly does. Her main goal is always to help however she can. She is more apt to do for others before herself, is completely loyal and a terrible liar - so expect to only get the truth. Whether it is taking extra time researching and showing property or helping you with a new healthy eating plan, she puts herself out there. The majority of her working life was centered around the highly affluent world of private aviation. Having spent over 10 years developing skills in flight coordination, account management, regional sales, and general office administration - “multi-tasking” is an understatement of what she can and does do behind the scenes. A Liberal Studies graduate of CSU, Chico with a minor in Child Development and a teaching credential, Staci brings fun learning the basics to your Real Estate experience - and hers. She is always quick with a smile and an optimistic outlook. And is one of the most tolerant and flexible people you might ever meet - a necessity learned while working with children and carried over to her adult and professional relationships because people (and Real Estate) are not predictable. Staci was raised in our neighboring Orange County foothills although she has called the Southbay “home” for the past 11 years. She expects to raise her two little tow-heads here at our beautiful beaches. Active and outdoors whenever possible, you’ll likely see her around!
