OUR HOME, SOUTH BAY
"I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite."
- G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)

When we launched South Bay digs in october of 2010, our mission was to celebrate what we feel is the strongest link in the "community chain," -- our homes. our homes are the roots in the community tree, bringing neighbors, friends and family together to live, work and play. nothing evokes the feeling of community like summer. as a kid, i used to count down the days to summer with great anticipation -- it was always a special timeofyear. Somethingsneverchange.

This issue is our Special Summer edition, and it's packed with the absolute best homes available for sale in the South Bay...104 pages worth!
in the spirit of Summer, we take a historic looK BacK at the palos Verdes Surfing club. Started by several local surfers in 1935, palos Verdes Surfing club regularly met and surfed at the cove, where they used an access road that took them down to the beach. read all about it "Surfing into history" starting on page 44.
