POLL

A few replies from last week’s question:

“Underrated - all the great punk bands that played in HB at Safari Sam’s (before that tiny little building was the surf museum).“

“I love that the Westfield Shopping Center (NW corner of Warner and Springdale) was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright Jr“

“There are original, 100-year-old jail cells behind Longboard’s downtown“

If you love history or just want to learn a little more about HB, I’d recommend this downtown walking tour (LINK)
