*By Nicole Picard Santa Monica*

What a wonderful way to open the new Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurant on, what is looking like a very lively and fresh looking, Santa Monica Pier. With their community outreach, a very willing and able staff and above all with the new restaurant committing 50 percent of their sales on their opening day to support local schools. Wow. Originally I was concerned by their corporate ties, but their willingness to embrace our community is inspiring, I just hope it continues. Let’s keep the shrimp flowing and make this a success for all good/not special interests.
