West Coast icon Turns 100
A true icon of Southern California, the Santa Monica Pier turned 100 years old on Wednesday, September 9th, 2009.
The Santa Monica pier has withstood years of weathering, storms, and battering from waves, but remains one of few on a coast that was once lined with piers. The pier has a ling history of Glitz and Glam. The first live TV Musical was shot there, as well as many other films and TV shows. But if it weren't for a group of Fisherman, this centennial celebration might not have occurred.
During the 70's, the City was planning on tearing down the Pier. A city wide campaign, thats started with local fisherman then spread throughout the city, kept the pier open and kept the city from removing an iconic landmark.
The Centennial was marked by a series of free festivals and events thrown by the City and Pier Restoration Society. Naturally, Wednesday was a night for Fireworks
