Tourist Spotlight: Richard Dominguez
Tourists flock to Manhattan beach during the summer. Patch asked Richard Dominguez, who prefers the term 'visitor' to 'tourist,' why he made the trip to Manhattan Beach.

Where are you originally from? Gardena. It's not too far away from here.
So, you wouldn't consider yourself a tourist, then? No, more like a visitor.
Do you come here often? Sometimes. Today I felt like riding my bike, so I did. It took an hour. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time.

Any other places you frequent in Manhattan Beach? Not really. Just this bench.
Why the bench? I enjoy the view and the people.

And you must enjoy the weather as well, right? I was on the phone to a friend from Nebraska this morning, and he said it was 104 degrees out there. He didn't believe me when I said how nice and warm it was here.
