OsoPorto Pic Captures Best Of Manhattan Beach: Twitter Photo
El Porto resident Jon Berry has a love for uh, "North" Manhattan Beach, or maybe not... since it's El Porto to him and his OsoPorto clan.
MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Sometimes photos simply grab your attention. Such is the case with this Tweet from OsoPorto. Writes OsoPorto originator Jon Berry on his website, "El Porto, California was established in 1911. As an unincorporated town, it was basically a municipal island until 1980 when it was was annexed into neighboring Manhattan Beach. It's always had a more eclectic edge because of that - not just a home to families over the years, but also bikers, beatniks, hippies, artists, authors, and always: surfers. El Porto's a bit of a stepchild. We like it that way."
