“We knew who we had coming up, and Santa Monica isn't as good as they were last year. So we didn't panic or anything. We just stuck to the game plan.”
Don Garriott
“Monica was very tough in the middle for us this year and she was a pest on defense. She did exactly what we needed her to do this year. She was pretty much our main weapon early in the year. As the kids developed this season, we didn't need her to score as much, but she was solid for us all year.”
Werner Christen
“Monica came out this year, and she stepped up. Everybody has stepped up, whether they are new or returning, and that's great to see.”
Amanda Leahy
“We are not going to build a 25,000-square-foot studio in Santa Monica. No one is going to give me a camera and say shoot stuff. We want to partner with the entertainment industry.”
Rob Bennett
“Traffic was blocked all the way into Santa Monica; it was a huge mess in both directions on Pacific Coast Highway.”
Burton Fredericksen
“I looked in Malibu, the Palisades and all over Santa Monica, and I ended up wanting to be in a busy district. I think our store has really benefited from the traffic here because people aren't just zipping by; they are seeing us.”
Shannon Michelle
“We know that Santa Monica had been in contact with Pasadena to see how the task force came back. And there has been some interest from Council member (Bobby) Shriver in bringing something similar to Santa Monica.”
