South Bay by Jackie Weekend Guide November 8, 2018

During the 30 + years I’ve lived in the South Bay, I’ve never experienced a line like the one at my polling place this past Tuesday - it snaked out the door and around the building. People not only didn’t seem to mind the wait, they were friendly, engaging and pretty enthusiastic. It was inspiring to experience the democratic process in such a robust manner. Everyone wanted their vote to count and there was record voter turnout throughout the country…. and as Martha Stewart would say, “It’s a good thing.” Another good thing? No more being bombarded with annoying mailers, robo-calls, TV commercials and radio ads….. at least until the next election.

What would it be like to see the inner workings of business and government in Torrance, and along the way, learn from influential leaders across a variety of sectors?
