Story Ideas:Glow 2010: A Dusk til Dawn Arts and Culture Festival in Santa MonicaA Ferris wheel orchestra. A glowing grotto underneath the Pier. Images projected onto a water wave on the beach. These are a few of the cutting-edge art displays that debuted at the inaugural Glow festival in 2008. September 25, 2010 will be the second biannual Glow event in Santa Monica, where over 200,000 people will gather on the beaches of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Pier to experience and engage with compelling, enchanting and awe-inspiring public art displays from dusk until dawn. With a variety of world-class art and cultural experiences and attractions, it’s no wonder Santa Monica is home to one of the most unique arts festivals in the country. New Outdoor Shopping Mall Blocks from the Beach to Open on Aug. 6, 2010Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, Hugo Boss, Burberry, Kitson, and more are moving to the beach! These famous retailers and others will have a new home at the brand new Santa Monica Place Mall when it opens on August 6, 2010. Santa Monica Place will be an outdoor shopping haven with a beachside setting and ocean breezes, unique meetings and event space, stellar ocean-view dining on an rooftop deck, and more. This is where SoHo meets South Beach. Santa Monica Place will be the fifth shopping haven in the city as it joins Third Street Promenade, Main Street, Montana Avenue and Pico Boulevard – all are shopping and entertainment destinations offering an eclectic mix of boutique and brand-name delights. World-Class Dining…With a Twist!Four surfing chefs, five female chefs and two contestants from Bravo’s hit cable TV show “Top Chef”, Stefan Richter and Chris “CJ” Jacobson, call Santa Monica home, proving that Santa Monica’s dining scene is as unique as those behind it. Our chefs cook, live and play in Santa Monica – taking full advantage of the beachfront setting and great waves, 340 days of sunshine per year, laidback lifestyle and award-winning farmer’s markets that help make their establishments such a hit. Stop by Santa Monica’s Wednesday farmer’s market and you’ll be able to rub elbows with these resident chefs as well as some of the best chefs in the Los Angeles region. Santa Monica: City of Firsts is at the forefront of "Lean & Green Living" Santa Monica continues to progress towards a more eco-friendly city, with restaurants going green – such as Rustic Canyon and The Lobster – to businesses and organizations, like Santa Monica Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Fairmont Miramar Hotel and Bungalows and Ambrose Hotel. The city implemented a clean air initiative through a no-smoking ordinance and issued a no-Styrofoam policy for restaurants serving to-go items. And public transportation by way of the Big Blue Bus has newer state-of-the-art technology and cleaner burning fuel with a fleet of 210 buses, 43% of which is fueled by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) which is 77% cleaner burning than diesel-fueled buses. Winter doesn’t always mean cold…Why should summer end in September? In Santa Monica, the summers last well into the so-called winter season with temperatures peaking into the high 70s and the skies retaining their cloudless azure hue. While the general public goes back to their high paced lives in September heralding the beginning of the winter season, Santa Monica continues to plunge forward with inviting weather, beautiful beaches and energetic nightlife.
