Summary[edit]
DescriptionRedondo Beach Pier, Redondo Beach, California (6027113068).jpg |
English: The Redondo Beach pier is located in Redondo Beach, California and stretches out onto the Pacific Ocean. The pier has been rebuilt and altered by storms and redevelopments. Its official name is "Municipal Pier", and it has also been called the "Endless Pier". Earlier versions were known as "Pleasure Pier" and "Horseshoe Pier".
The pier started out as a disjointed group of wharves near the end of the 19th century, but evolved into an interconnected structure after a series of storms and demolitions throughout the 20th century. The pier area used to be heavily crowded with tourists and locals during the 1970s, but began to decline after the nearby Seaport Village project failed and went into bankruptcy in 1982. In 1988, the pier was severely battered by two winter storms, and on May 27 it burned to the waterline due to an electrical short circuit (the fire was so large that a SigAlert was announced for the San Diego Freeway several miles away). The pier's modern reinforced concrete version was completed in 1995, and has brought back the appeal to Redondo Beach's business district ever since. Subsequent attempts to resuscitate the area's popularity have been challenged by the need to comply with California Coastal Conservancy regulations, and the concurrent success of redevelopment projects in the two other Beach Cities, Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach, and also in the neighboring city of Torrance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redondo_Beach_pier en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
