This is just a note of thanks to the residents of Santa Monica and readers of the Daily Press for their continued cooperation and support. Yours is a community that still welcomes fresh-brewed ideas and upstart entrepreneurs. Yours is a community chock-full of warmth and well-being. The negatives of doing business here don’t add up to a hill of beans.
As a result, doing business here day in and day out has proven to be a rush, and quite addictive.
