Everything well said Diane! Thank you for standing up for us out and far-off Forest Avenue. I like the project of the promenade but the promenade is too short to bring a lot of people in.
I'm from Europe there almost every city has a promenade but a long street, a street with a lot of choices for a variety of different ages and interests of the walking visitors.
Laguna needs as well to address the right advertising to the right people.
"Day"tourists from the near around inland towns are all walking around with an ice cream in their hands that will keep them full until they are home:)) We need "stay"tourists that are looking for breakfast lunch, dinner and shopping souvenirs.
In the last business report from the VLB economic dashboard showed that we have the most expensive hotels from all the listed cities. People grab cheaper options and maybe come just to have lunch while exploring the coast. Less lodging people- less business, expensive parking, complicated parking apps.... many people ask us how it works or doesn't work because our host stand is right next to some parking lots. Neighbor cities have free parking.

That's the picture of our town right now.
My lovely Diane, see you soon for a Sangria
