Hermosa’s Garage Sale Takeover, Torrance Anime Fest & More

Hey South Bay,

First off—thanks for being part of this journey. After starting this newsletter, I’ve gotten to know so many of you, and it’s been a reminder of how connected this community really is. My hope is that it makes your week a little easier, adds something fun to look forward to, and gives you one more reason to love where you live.

We’ve got a full lineup ahead—Easter brunches, egg hunts, a spring carnival in PV, anime fans taking over Torrance, and Hermosa going full Marie Kondo with a citywide garage sale. I sifted through it all and pulled the best stuff worth showing up for.

Let’s get into it 👇
