My heart goes out to Boathouse owner Naia Sheffield. It’s sad the city of Santa Monica is losing another longtime family owned business. I would like to thank Ms. Sheffield and the Boathouse for donating food for many of our coalition for a Santa Monica Disabilities Commission public meetings.
The Boathouse also hosted many special benefit and commemorative events at their familiar Santa Monica Pier location.
It is truly sad their doors are now being forced closed. Jerry Rubin Santa Monica
