The building will soon house a taco restaurant that provides a "fast-casual dining experience." (Laguna Beach Independent Newspaper). On Thursday, the VFW and American Legion planned to commemorate Veterans Day at Monument Point in Heisler Park. The City of Laguna Beach announced that the First Marine Division Band performed at the event, and the Air Force 452 Air Wing conducted a C-17 flyover. (Laguna Beach Patch). Drivers across Laguna Beach are feeling pain at the pump. Traffic, SIGALERTS and planning road trips add to that concern as inflation and cost of fuel dig into the majority of family budgets pre-holiday season. But Orange County drivers are not sitting idle — they're shopping around for their gas. (Laguna Beach Patch). The City of Laguna Beach Arts Commission is seeking original holiday palette designs from children ages 5 to 17. To qualify, the young artists must live or attend a school or art program in Laguna Beach. (Laguna Beach Patch).Did you see the smoke? A 15-acre brush fire broke out near an Avalon campground on Catalina Thursday afternoon, and Los Angeles County Fire Department crews were on the scene near the Black Jack Campground in Avalon. Dubbed the Middle Fire, the blaze broke out shortly before 1:30 p.m. off Middle Ranch Road. (Pacific Palisades Patch). Today's Laguna Beach Daily is brought to you by our friends at Verizon.
