This started today! #socialdistancing #manhattanbeach #losangeles #southbay #loveourtown #wearyourfacecovering . Posted @withregram • @mayormontgomerymb Before you head to bed, please be aware that starting tomorrow 4/15 it will be mandatory for ALL of LA County to wear facial covering when in public. This includes grocery shopping & if you choose to exercise in public ( if you’re 6 ft away at all times, you are OK ). You will be cited if you are not wearing protection in public. I know this is frustrating but the quicker we do these things and really stick to them, the quicker we can end this. We are ALL in this together.

Happy Holidays everyone! Were you down at the pier enjoying the fireworks? . . 🎥: @jharkenrider - our board CFO . . . . . . #holidayseason #holidayfireworks #manhattanbeach #mbhometownfair #manhattanbeachhometownfair #fireworks #southbay #weloveourtown #sketchers #hometown

Save the date for the #mbhometownfair 48th! October 3, 4 2020! . . . . #manhattanbeachhometownfair #southbay #manhattanbeach
