Shade Redondo sidelined by burst pipe
The long-embattled Shade Redondo hotel has hit yet another snag on its way to completion, as a burst water pipe has severely damaged at least two dozen completed hotel rooms. “It looks like a crime scene over there,” said owner Mike Zislis. The rooms, he said, were done — wallpapered, tiled, with shower stalls, glass […]
