This Monday, we’ve been working on several small issues for Santa Monica Next, including removing the “dynamic ads” from our website. As a result, we haven’t had a chance to update the content of the website. We’ll return to our normal schedule tomorrow. See you then.
Down for Maintenance…We’ll Be Back Tuesday
