Redondo Beach Arch

Regarding Jim Heimann’s entertaining lamentation of the dearth of distinctive civic signage (Opinion, Jan. 4): How could he not mention (and you not print a photo of) that one local landmark in possession of all the characteristics he seeks--the Redondo Beach/King Harbor arch? It is at once grand and garish; historic, yet modern; proud regional icon and Chamber of Commerce beacon; a warm, glowing welcome mat and a real estate huckster; and most of all, totally Southern California!
