📰 News we're reading

• Hermosa Beach creatives trying to make mark with arts district (dailybreeze.com) — Hermosa Beach artists and nonprofit leaders are teaming up to turn the Cypress District into a more visible arts hub, linking Resin, Not Shockboxx and The Studio into a coordinated creative corridor. The revamped South Bay Artist Collective, backed by the new Hermosa and Free Foundation, plans more youth-focused arts programming, partnerships with local groups, and a multi-venue "Water & Wood" exhibit in January.
   

• Hermosa Beach's Q2 Serious Crime Stayed Flat Versus Last Year (hermosareview.com) — Hermosa Beach's serious crime totals for April through June 2026 were essentially unchanged from last year, even as year-to-date serious crime remains significantly lower thanks to big drops early in the year. Local police data show sharp increases in simple assaults and motor vehicle theft offsetting broader declines in property and drug-related offenses, giving residents a more nuanced picture behind reassuring headline numbers.
   

• Butterfly Strong Foundation hosts month of breast cancer fundraising events (dailybreeze.com) — Hermosa Beach will glow pink this October as the Butterfly Strong Foundation leads a month of breast cancer awareness and fundraising, starting with a pier lighting and kickoff at Palmilla on Pier Avenue.
