Los Angeles News June 2012
Port of Los Angeles Gets Crafty
San Pedro will soon be home to the perfect place to find unique souvenirs only found in Los Angeles. Local artisans will fill nearly 140,000 square feet with handmade goods and artisan food at a new marketplace near the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. The first phase of Crafted at the Port of Los Angeles is scheduled to open June 29, 2012, with full development of the complex expected by summer 2013. Within the space of two 1940s warehouses, visitors can buy handmade glass, felt hats, carved leather and locally made furniture. And after strolling the aisles, shoppers can taste gourmet treats from some of Los Angeles’ best chefs. The project is a team effort from Bergamot Station Arts Center in Santa Monica and the Port of Los Angeles. This new venture will be a large-scale permanent craft marketplace. www.craftedportla.com
USS Iowa
Looking for an ideal attraction for history buffs, maritime aficionados and student groups? Look no further than the legendary USS Iowa Battleship arriving in San Pedro later this month and opening to the public on July 7. It has been called the “World’s Greatest Naval Ship” due to its big guns, heavy armor, fast speed, longevity and modernization that kept pace with technology for more than 50 years. Built in 1940 as the best of its class, it will become a permanent attraction at the Port of Los Angeles Berth 87 – the only such US battleship on the West Coast. Steeped in history, it saw action from WWII to the post Cold War. It is nicknamed the “Ship of Presidents,” having hosted President Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the end of WWII and Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. The 58,000-ton vessel is being transformed into an interactive educational museum and will be available for events. It is sure to become a crown jewel of the LA waterfront attractions. www.pacificbattleship.com
