Both my wife and I have family in Italy and we’re just completing our decision to go visit them next summer since the last they’ve seen of us my wife was 4 months pregnant with our first child (now our kids are 4 & 18 months - so it’s been a while). I like to describe the Italian culture as being a completely romantic lifestyle with very simple ‘old world’ vocation where most of the residents only pay taxes at the cash registers (or “select cash registers” if you will). And with the recent election results here, there is an overwhelming sentiment amongst the people in my sphere that 2013 is to be the year they completely maximize their tax offsets since the definition of paying ‘your fair share’ is absolutely divided. Smart if you think about it and really smart if you’re making your real estate portfolio the primary vehicle to protect your wealth in the short term.

eREAL ESTATE CORP ANNOUNCES GRAND OPENING OF MANHATTAN BEACH OFFICE! WELCOME UNI THE NEWEST eREAL ESTATE MEMBER Originally, I joined Re/Max Realty back in 1989 because I loved the red, white and blue colors - to me it represented the American dream. After spending 16 years as a Hall of Fame and Chairman’s Club Top Producer, I moved to Shorewood Realtors in 2006. I will truly miss my Shorewood family; there are a lot of great agents and friends there, so it was a tough decision to leave that office. However, I am looking forward to working together and continuing our wonderful friendships and business. Recently, I decided that I needed to enlarge my territory and vision. I know how hard we all work, but we have to adjust to changing times and changing markets. I have decided to help my fellow agents, to provide them with leads and their success will be my success. Joining and partnering with eReal Estate Corp with Dean and Jan Thomas is another blessing on this path. They have the most advanced technology in real estate today. I decided to team the right energy with this cutting edge technology so that I’m able to produce the best results for my clients. I am very excited about our new downtown Manhattan Beach location. We will be more exposed and more available to the public. I look forward to working together with our neighboring real estate firms to bring the best possible services to the Beach Cities. I am thankful for all the support and blessings that I have been given by my clients, colleagues, friends and family. I look forward to continuing to contribute to this community, our Manhattan Beach schools, churches and of course to Children’s Hospital. Our contributions to the local economy will continue to drive our market upward. It is important to me to protect the real estate investments of all my clients, for my family, friends and for all of America. I came to the United States for the American dream and I am so proud to be American. Everyday it is a part of my morning prayer that our country be blessed by God, that our community and our children all be blessed. Thank you for all your continued support and love.

SOUTH BAY HISTORY TIDBITS MASTHEAD
HISTORY OF REDONDO BEACH BY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES In 1854, a natural salt lake located between Pacific and Francesca Avenues, at the northern end
Creative Director Amanda Nelson-Sinagra
Publisher Warren J Dow
of Redondo Beach - just outside of Hermosa Beach, known as the “Old Salt Lake” was sold to Henry Allenson and William Johnson. This sale precipitated the establishment of Pacific Salt Works, which extracted and sold salt and operated through approx. 1908.
Digital Media Specialist Kieron McKay

When Don Miguel Dominquez died in 1882, he left the Rancho San Pedro to his six daughters. Three of his daughters, Susana, Guadalupe, and Maria de Los Reyes Dominguez, inherited portions of the estate, each including individual sections collectively known as the Ocean Tract. In 1890, Susana Dominquez married Gregorio Del Amo y Gonzalez. Del Amo Boulevard is named after this family.
Senior Staff Photographer Paul Jonason
Contributing Writers Pamela Corante-Hansen, Denise Kano, Quinn Roberts
In 1889 this coastal tract of 433 acres was sold to the Redondo Beach Improvement Company, founded by Robert Thompson and John Ainsworth, for $12,000. They promoted, developed, and sold land that eventually became the nucleus of the city of Redondo Beach. On April 18, 1892, Redondo voters adopted city-hood by a vote of 177-10. The first City Hall was built in 1908 at Benita and Emerald Street. The name of the city is Spanish for “round,” which either refers to the half-round street pattern of the original town site, or the adjacent “Rancho Sausal Redondo” (“Ranch of the Round Clump of Willows”), which was just north of the city.

The City was becoming “The Place” for tourists. Railroads and steamships brought people by the thousands, not to mention freight loads of oil and lumber. At this time, Redondo was the first port of Los Angeles County. Steamers from the Pacific Steamship Company stopped at Redondo four times a week, at one of its three piers, as part of regular runs between San Francisco and San Diego. The Redondo Railway Company and the Santa Fe Railroad left Los Angeles daily for Redondo at regular intervals. Eventually the City was served by Henry Huntington’s Big Red Electric Cars. Redondo’s popularity began a slow decline when San Pedro Harbor started to take shape in 1899. By 1912, the Pacific Steamship Company stopped calling at Redondo altogether. Lumber schooners still used Pier No. 3 at Topaz Street until the railroad pulled out in 1926. Because of prohibition, the $250,000 Hotel Redondo closed its doors and in 1925 was sold for scrap lumber - the price was $300. Storms have been an ever-present danger to the City’s piers. They have been washed out, then rebuilt, then washed out again. Redondo’s first breakwater was built in 1939 and although the cost was more than $500,000, it provided only limited protection. Because of the way it was
www.SouthBayDigs.com
constructed, wave action and the normal movement of the beach sand was altered. Following every storm, sand accumulated north of the breakwater. Eventually the beach area between Diamond and Beryl Streets was obliterated. A raging storm in 1953 caused extensive damage not only to the breakwater, but to City streets and private property. Redondo’s population boomed in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1890, the population was 668; in 1940
Download the South Bay Digs App at the Apple iTunes Store for iPhone & iPad
it was 13,092; and in 1965 it was 54,772. Today, Redondo citizens number a little over 63,000.

WRITTEN By: Quin n R o b erts On a cold fall or winter night, nothing is better than curling up next to a warm fire. Just ask Spark Modern Fires co-founder Tom Healy. “The flame is elemental and captivating. People want to enjoy a fireplace’s warmth and ambiance,” Healy said. “It’s Spark’s goal to celebrate the flame by creating dynamic fireplaces.” Launching in 2005 at New York City’s International Contemporary Furniture Fair, the company introduced its innovative Fire Ribbon gas fireplace, and has grown ever since. Spark’s Linear Burner System can be indoors or outdoors and is anywhere from two feet to 10 feet in length with one-sided, two-sided or even 360-degree fire views. Depending on the size and style of each fireplace, pricing starts at $4,500, with the average fireplace costing $5,000. Customers can also enhance their flame with fire stones or fire glass that can
fireplaces and replace it with an energy-efficient, clean-burning alternative that is also sleek and sophisticated. “We talk to designers and architects daily to see what they are hearing, so we can continue to evolve,” Healy said. “That has helped us create a new way of seeing the fireplace.” And while its two main factories are located in Toronto and New Hampshire, with offices in Bethel, Connecticut, Spark has built a following all across the country. Initially getting interest from the West Coast and Southwest, Spark fireplaces can now be found in all four corners of the country. That interest hasn’t been limited to just homes either. With such modern designs, Spark can be found is countless restaurants and hotels across the country, such as The Ritz Carlton, W Hotels and Peninsula Hotels. “We have really taken

Gertruda Avenue Historic District A Walking Tour
written By Denise Kano
Like all of the South Bay cities, Redondo Beach experienced rapid development in the 1960’s and 1970’s, at which time many of the older homes and buildings were torn down. High-density housing, two-on-a-lot, and numerous shopping malls became the name of the game. However, some residents in older Redondo Beach neighborhoods banded together and formed a preservation society with the goal of protecting the remaining historic homes in the city. One such protected area is the Gertruda Avenue History District, featuring homes full of character and history – homes that reflect the original, early look of Redondo Beach.
Located on the 300 block of North Gertruda Avenue, many of these historic homes feature a blend of Craftsman and Colonial Revival style. Fourteen of the homes are included in the City’s Historic District designation and are also listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Original Townsite Historical District (1906-1923),
The homes on North Gertruda Avenue represent one of the remaining collections of homes built during the early settlement period of Redondo Beach. Collectively, they are considered a valuable resource of historic significance to the city.

SIMPLE PERFECTION
WHY YOU WANT TO CLOSE YOUR SHORT SALE THIS YEAR When homeowners negotiate a short sale, banks are legally required to report the forgiven debt to the IRS. The homeowner now has to pay income tax on this amount. In many cases, the tax responsibility can end up being tens of thousands of dollars.

REAL ESTATE HAPPENS
EVERYWHERE,
The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 offers many homeowners relief from having to pay income taxes on forgiven mortgage debt, saving them from trading one unmanageable payment for another.
Lisa Stott “Love Your Lifestyle”
Originally set to expire in 2010, it has since been extended twice and has become one of the most successful relief programs since the beginning of the housing crisis.
B B
But barring an act of congress, the Mortgage Debt Relief Act is set to expire at the end of 2012. For distressed homeowners, this means that time is running out to close their short sales and take advantage of the program. There is a bill in Congress that would extend the act, but it is unclear whether or not it will pass. What is clear is that waiting to see if the act gets extended could end up costing you dearly.
