“Dine Around” back around

Patrons line up for check-in at “Dine Around Artesia” Oct. 5, the return of the Artesia Boulevard event after an 11-year hiatus. A group of 14 restaurants participated, making special samplers for a sold-out guest list of 200. At check-in at South Bay Hardware, organizers North Redondo Beach Business Association (NRBBA) gave out wristbands and maps. NRBBA President Mickey Marrafino reports that presenting sponsor South Bay Credit Union has already committed to next year. Photo by Garth Meyer
