When you consider how much energy, expense, and talent goes into the opening of a restaurant, any closure is a sad event, but this is truly sad…  Retro-themed ice cream shop Beach City Creamery (formerly Beachy Cream) has finally closed its doors at 1209 Wilshire in Santa Monica.  They had made a valiant effort at keeping the doors open in the cozy Santa Monica neighborhood, but they have delivered their last artisan ice cream sandwich.  We wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
