Bomb Threat Santa Monica Pier

At approximately 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 4, the Santa Monica Police Department (SMPD) received a report involving a potential bomb threat directed at the Santa Monica Pier.

SMPD personnel arrived on the scene immediately to assess the situation. In coordination with specialized units, officers conducted a thorough sweep of the area. Following this investigation, it was determined that the threat was not credible.

The Pier remained open throughout the assessment, and no injuries were reported. Out of an abundance of caution, the public will notice an increased police presence in the area. All operations at the Pier have returned to a normal status.

The Venice Karen - Former New York Lawyer VS Hinanos

Wanted signs for The Venice Karen have been posted all around Venice Beach this week.

"Who builds a multi-million dollar house right by behind Hinanos (Est. 1962) and then calls the police 30 times in one day to complain about the noise?

Last seen manically calling 911 freom a brand-new mansion”

So who is this "Venice Karen" and what is this all about?

The person in the poster is David Feige, a former New York lawyer turned producer, writer and documentarist. 60 year old Feige, who moved to Venice 20 years ago, has recently been elected President Of Venice Neighborhood Council, after Brian Averill resigned due to conflicts with members of the council. Averill, who is also from New York, approached Feige to seek the presidency.

As the poster mentions, Feige has reported Hinanos to authorities several times for various reasons



Feige's issues with Hinanos has been going on for several years now. And not it's not just Hinanos, he has also reported Cabo Cantina, The Whaler, and Mercedes for being too loud, having outdoor speakers, staying open past the allowed time, and other ordinance businesses he says these places are not following.

"For nearly 18 months, there has not been a single week that Hinano has complied with the rules. Even after midnight their outdoor space is packed. They allow people to congregate so densely that they block the sidewalk, and they regularly tolerate outdoor drinking and loitering as well as the use of portable speakers played in and adjacent to their outdoor space. It is, in a word, mayhem. With multiple fights, regular screaming, constant urination, and unceasing noise." He mention in a request to the Venice Neighborhood Council (prior to him being elected president).

They should be like "New York whose Al Fresco experiments also rely on keeping ambient noise to a minimum, the Ordinance aims to preserve the business’s revenue stream while balancing the disturbances to those of us who live nearby."

Recently, on a Saturday, in the middle of the day, during the monthly Artwalk on Washington, Feige was seen telling police officers that The Whaler, Nala Vida, and some Art walk vendors are being too loud. The officers went and spoke to Nala Vida, but didn't bother the vendors or The Whaler that time.

As for who put up these posters, it is unknown at this time. The staff at Hinanos say they do not know anyuthing about it.

Baywatch Booted Out Of Venice

After all the grandstanding about the Baywatch reboot filming in Venice Beach, the production has been bullied out of Venice after a few days of shooting.

It's been reported that LA County Lifeguards, FilmLA, and the Department of Beaches & Harbors have made is too difficult, almost impossible to continue shooting in Venice. The show has moved production other beaches such as Redondo Beach and Santa Monica.

Ealrlier this week, a Baywatch insider posted this in a discussion:

"When people say production is leaving Los Angeles, it's not just about tax incentives, cheaper labor, avoiding healthcare and pension costs, or skirting SAG contracts by hiring mostly non-union actors. Those are factors, yes-but Los Angeles itself has become part of the problem.

Despite what Gavin Newsom or Karen Bass say publicly about being film-friendly, the departments that operate under and alongside them -like FilmLA-often feel more like obstacles than support.

Baywatch was initially planning to shoot in Australia. When that became known, Newsom recognized the optics of losing such an iconic project and pushed for a special rebate to keep it in California. Unfortunately, the budget was never truly adjusted to reflect the realities of shooting in LA, which meant an extremely tight pre-production.

To make it work, every department pulled together. Vendors gave discounts, department heads waived rental fees while still providing equipment, and the entire crew was motivated to prove that episodic television can still be produced in Los Angeles. That said, at one point, a FOX executive reportedly told a producer, "You're trying to prove you can shoot episodic TV in LA-I'm here to prove you wrong."

So it's not just that LA is expensive-it's that studios have grown accustomed to paying less elsewhere and no longer want to absorb the cost of staying here.

But the real challenge hasn't just been budgets -it's been the city itself.

The plan was to shoot in Venice Beach. Millions were spent building a headquarters at the lifeguard station by the pier, fully up to code so it could remain for community use after production. Everything was approved

- until just days before filming.

Then came the restrictions. New rules. Limitations from lifeguards.

Additional constraints from Beach and Harbors. Suddenly, everything was "no": no nighttime shooting, no picture vehicles, strict red zones limiting where we could operate.

We managed to shoot days 2 through 4 in Venice, but then came the backlash. We were told we weren't wanted back. Beach and Harbors shut us down. Lifeguards said we were too disruptive-even though the crew remained respectful throughout.

The reasons given could fill pages, but the takeaway is simple: while leadership claims California is film-friendly, the reality on the ground often says otherwise. City departments frequently deny requests or create costly barriers.

We'll shoot two more days before going on a brief hiatus over Easter to regroup and find new locations-possibly Santa Monica, more likely Leo Carrillo State Park.

At this point, we can only return to Venice to film at the headquarters we built-no beach work allowed.

That's the reality we're dealing with.

Los Angeles is not film friendly."

A spokesperson for LA Mayor Karen Bass made a statement, “Our Office has championed bringing Baywatch back to LA, providing concierge-level service for this production. Matters related to Beaches and Harbors fall under County jurisdiction, and the City remains in active communication with County officials.”

Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath responded by saying the county is "beyond proud to welcome Baywatch back to LA County. Our entertainment industry’s home is right here, and we should be actively working to keep it here.” She has planned a meeting on April 8 with "“the production team, LA County Lifeguards, FilmLA, the Department of Beaches & Harbors, Council District 11, Public Works, the Department of Economic Opportunity, Fremantle, and Fox” to ensure the production can continue.

Trader Joes Moving Into Venice's Fox Theater

On Wednesady, Trader Joes has filed a CUB (Conditional Use Approval for Sale of Alcoholic Beverages) to "allow the sale and dispensation of a full line of alcohol for off-site consumption in conjuction with a 12,585 sq ft grocery store with hours of operation from 8am to 10pm, daily."

The location for this is 620 S LINCOLN BLVD, the old Fox Theater building.

Fatal Shooting In Santa Monica

At approximately 10:30p.m. on Saturday, March 28, 2026, Santa Monica Police Department officers responded to a report of a shooting near the intersection of 4th Street and Olympic Drive.

Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound. Personnel rendered aid until relieved by Santa Monica Fire Department personnel. The individual was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

The victim’s identification is being withheld pending notification of next of kin and confirmation by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Preliminary information indicates the incident involved an altercation between occupants of two vehicles prior to the shooting. During the confrontation, a suspect produced a firearm and discharged at least one round, striking the victim. The suspect or suspects fled the area prior to officers’ arrival.

This remains an active and ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact Santa Monica Police Department Criminal Investigations Division Sergeant Shaun Cooney at Shaun.Cooney@santamonica.gov or 310-458-8401 ext 2249; or the Watch Commander 24 hours a day at 310-458-8427.

Gelson’s Markets Plans to Return to Pacific Palisades

Gelson’s Markets today announced its plans to rebuild and reopen its store in Pacific Palisades, which was lost in the Palisades Fire in January 2025.

The Southern California grocer, which currently operates 27 premium markets from Santa Barbara to San Diego, had served the Pacific Palisades community for decades. Although a construction timeline and reopening date have not been confirmed, the company is moving forward with the rebuilding process and intends to return to its longstanding location at 15424 Sunset Boulevard, near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and La Cruz Drive.

“Our Pacific Palisades store has long been a part of the fabric of this community,” said Ryan Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gelson’s. “Its loss was deeply felt across our organization. Since our first store opened in Burbank in 1951, our commitment has always been to provide exceptional service and establish a genuine connection with the communities we call home. We will return in a way that reflects the resilience of the Palisades and our long-term investment there.”

Although formal redevelopment plans have not been finalized, the store is expected to deliver a modernized shopping experience rooted in Gelson’s signature offerings, including premium produce, meats, and seafood; Gelson’s Kitchen prepared foods; full-service deli; floral department; and catering services. Additional amenities and features are being considered.

Meanwhile, Gelson’s continues to invest across the region. The company recently opened a new smaller format market as part of a mixed-use development in Toluca Lake. The neighborhood-focused concept features a curated grocery assortment and chef-crafted prepared foods tailored to the tastes of the local community.

“We are focused on the long term,” Adams added. “The same commitment to thoughtful growth and genuine community connection that guides our expansion across Southern California will guide our return to Pacific Palisades.”

SMPD Holding DUI Checkpoint - $13,500 Fine

On March 20, 2026, the Santa Monica Police Department will conduct a driving under the influence (DUI) Checkpoint from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. at an undisclosed location.

DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off the road.

Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk. Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.

SMPD reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational marijuana are legal, driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

NTSB Preliminary Report On Santa Monica Waymo Hitting Child

On January 23, 2026, about 8:30 a.m. pacific standard time, a 2024 Jaguar I-Pace sport utility vehicle, equipped with an automated driving system (ADS) and operated by Waymo LLC, struck a 9-year-old student pedestrian crossing midblock within a school zone in Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, California.

The unoccupied vehicle had completed a passenger drop-off on eastbound Pearl Street at the stop sign in front of an elementary school, turned left onto 24th Street, and proceeded north (see figure). The crash occurred in a 25-mph speed limit school zone, approximately 40 feet north of the end of the adjacent 15-mph speed limit school zone. The weather was clear, the roadway was dry, and daylight conditions were present.

According to video evidence from a school surveillance camera and from cameras on the ADS-equipped vehicle, a queue of five vehicles had formed in the southbound lane of 24th Street at the stop-controlled intersection with Pearl Street. The student pedestrian exited the right rear door of the fifth vehicle in the queue. The pedestrian then moved toward the front of her vehicle and entered the roadway, crossing at a rapid pace between her vehicle and a Chevrolet Suburban sport utility vehicle stopped in front of her vehicle.

The ADS-equipped vehicle was traveling north on 24th Street at 17 mph. According to video evidence, the vehicle braked and collided with the student pedestrian near its front-right headlight assembly. Post-impact, the pedestrian fell, then walked to the east curb of 24th Street. The vehicle continued braking and came to rest within the northbound travel lane almost immediately.

After the collision, a Waymo remote assistance agent in Novi, Michigan, contacted 911 and later provided the vehicle with directions to move to the curb on 24th Street north of the crash site.The vehicle remained at that location until the Santa Monica Police Department arrived. As a result of the collision, the student pedestrian reported minor injuries and did not require medical transport.

Parties to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation include:

Santa Monica Police Department

Waymo LLC All aspects of the crash remain under investigation while the NTSB determines the probable cause, with the intent of issuing safety recommendations to prevent similar crashes.

LA Surf Never Gets THIS Good

It was FIRING. Los Angeles doesn’t get days like this often. The day before this swell, a massive storm rolled through Southern California: heavy rain, strong winds, flash flood warnings, and classic winter chaos. But as soon as it cleared, the ocean turned on in a way we dream about.

Perfect offshore conditions & tubes up and down the beach. Matt Pagan might’ve snagged the best barrel of the season (so far).

All in all, it was one of those sessions you wish you could bottle up forever, the kind that reminds you why you live here and why winter in California can be so special.
