This summer is a scorcher and we’ve got six sexy tips to help you cool down, whether it’s a block from the beach in the only green zone on the weather map at The Victorian or by getting a brain freeze at Piccalilli.In the 1970s, two of Santa Monica’s most iconic and historic Victorian homes on Ocean Avenue were lifted off their foundations and trucked down to the corner of Main Street and Ocean Park Boulevard, saving them from demolition due to development.One was the home built in 1894 for Roy Jones, son of longtime U.S. Sen. John Percival Jones, co-founder of Santa Monica. The other was the lesser-known and somewhat mysterious Kyte House, built around the same time and inhabited by the Southern California Masonic Lodges leader, Dr. George I. Kyte, and his family.They found their forever homes in what is now Heritage Square and were reborn as, respectively, the California Heritage Museum and a restaurant, the Victorian. Tits Out And Sunny at The Victorian (Michele Stueven)The...

More great Bay Area pizza: Readers share their favorites

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:15:09 GMT

We knew before we published a feature on cool “niche pizza” parlors — chicken curry-topped pizza places, or kid-friendly spots with craft brews for the adults — that readers would chime in, sometimes vociferously, about their favorites. So when you read these recommendations, imagine them all starting with the incredulous words, “You left this one off the list?!”Here’s the roundup of places to try from readers who are passionate about their pizza:Toto’s Restaurant & Pizzeria (San Bruno, Belmont, San Francisco): This Neapolitan classic from the Spadarella family dates to 1932 in Brooklyn and S.F.’s postwar years. San Jose reader Mike Schlimmer is a longtime fan. “When Toto’s San Bruno opened in 1972, my high school buddies and I would take early lunches to walk over to share a No. 2 (salami, mushrooms and sausage) or No. 3 (pepperoni, mushrooms and sausage).

Joe Manchin and Failed Centrists Tout Vapid Manifesto at No Labels Town Hall

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:15:09 GMT

At the No Labels luncheon at the Puritan Backroom in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Monday, the punchline was hard to miss. A who’s who of failed moderate politicians and politicos, including former Sen. Joe Lieberman, former Govs. Pat McCrory and Jon Huntsman Jr., and former Reps. Fred Upton and Joe Cunningham, gathered alongside U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin. They were assembled to tout their political program in the form of a 73-page centrist manifesto outlining the path forward for a moderate American presidency. Neither press nor clergy were seen entering the private event, where, in a literal backroom, the fading stars of a puritanical third way met to further a plan that they have all but described as political blackmail.  Most Read Today’s Class War Is the 1 Percent Versus the People Just Below Them Jon Schwarz ...
