Santa Monica has been hit particularly hard by the pandemic: 40% of businesses in The Third St. Promenade are now permanently closed.  And Montana Ave. and Main St. aren’t faring much better.  With such a bleak outlook, I’m glad that I was able to post some good news this week.  This is the third post in a row about new eateries moving into Downtown Santa Monica, surely an indication of hope… A new sign is proudly declaring that the space that used to be home for Le Pain Quotidien, at 316 Santa Monica Blvd., will be the future location for a branch of wildly popular and beloved Trejo’s Tacos.  This is indeed exciting news for the area.
