r/SantaMonica

I went to one of the Perry's cafes this morning for the first time in a while and oh my god the new playlist is unbearable. They used to play a Frank Sinatraish jazzy station that just felt right for a Sunday morning but have now switched to a very short playlist consisting of the same 6 or 7 AI generated pop/hair metal/salsa/etc songs. The songs are just so awful and the playlist is short enough you hear the same song three times in under an hour. It's completely ruined the vibe. Anyone else notice and bothered by this?

Its been a good while since I last visited venice beach and santa monica beach. What is the scooter and ebike option like these days? Years ago you could rent a scooter with a seat and ride it everywhere but then that stopped. We want to ride up and down the beach paved areas but want to be legal.

Planning a trip for June or July

Coming to Santa Monica this Saturday & Sunday. Where are the best places to visit and get a beer later that evening.
