THIRD STREET PROMENADE — If there seems to be an influx of movie industry types wearing official-looking badges walking around Downtown in the next few days, you’re right, But fear not that they are overrunning Santa Monica’s streets, because they’re bringing in some serious cash for the city.
The Third Street Promenade to me is a three-block long microcosm of the world. We have tourists from all over who come to enjoy the restaurants, shopping and free entertainment.
