Wings of Freedom WWII Aircraft Tour Coming to Torrance

by

For aviation and WWII buffs alike there’s reason to get excited.  The Wings of Freedom Tour is coming to Torrance in April.  Not only can you see some historic aircraft but you can tour them and even fly in them!  Some of the historic planes are the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-25 Mitchell , B-24 Liberator, the P-51 Mustang and P-40 Warhawk.  As a WWII aviation enthusiast myself I can’t wait to see these incredible planes.  Both the B-17 and B-24 offer walk throughs.

Take to the skies!

For an even more unbelievable experience you can fly in the B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, and B-25 Mitchell. Flight training (no experience necessary) on the P-51 Mustang and P-40 Warhawk is also available to actually take the controls and fly the famous fighters of WWII with an experienced instructor for either 30 minutes or 60 minutes!

Places We Like – Strand Brewing Company in Old Torrance

by

If you like craft beer and the feeling that you’re in a “locals” type place, you may want to visit the Strand Brewing Company tap room.    It’s not a fancy place but has that cool vibe that you’ve found something that the tourists don’t know about.  As it’s a working brewery it’s basically part of their warehouse and brewery with a few park bench style tables.  They have shuffle puck, those bean bag toss games and videos of surfing but that’s about it.  They could do with a few TV’s to give it a bit more of a “bar” feel but as that’s not really what it is…who am I to give advice.  They have a great variety of beers and the people are very friendly.

They usually have several great beers on tap (brewed about 20 feet away) and although they don’t serve food there are “guest” restaurants and food trucks a few times a week.    If a casual off the beaten track experience is what you’re looking for…this could be your place.

Torrance has a beach?

by

By Keith KyleRAT Beach below Paseo De La Playa in Torrance

If you look at a map of the South Bay it certainly appears that Torrance lies just east of Redondo Beach and the closest point to the ocean is a mile or two.  That’s not the case as the Hollywood Riviera, with it’s Redondo zip code and mailing address, is actually the city of Torrance with Torrance schools, services, and more.  Included in this small area is actually a beach affectionately known as “RAT” Beach.  It’s not as bad as it sounds as it actually is short for Right After Torrance but either way it’s a beautiful, yet short, stretch of coastline unlike anything Queens Necklace Views in the South Bayin the neighboring cities of Redondo, Hermosa, and Manhattan.  Torrance Beach sits below the bluff of the Hollywood Riviera and those willing to walk just a bit get a great and somewhat private beach with views of Palos Verdes to the south and the more widely known Beach Cities to the north.  Torrance Beach basically starts where the Esplanade of Redondo turns into Calle Miramar at the start of the Hollywood Riviera.
