Fairly famous work-out spot but has anyone done any maintenance on these rickety wooden stairs in…read morethe recent past? My friend suggested we meet up to work-out and then do brunch. We completed (literally) one round of stair-walking and decided it was brunch time. Some of the steps are loose and wiggle when you step on them; be forewarned. Nevetheless, the Stairs clearly have their fans; lots of people were working out here the Friday we went. Speaking of Fridays.....keep an eye on the bizarre parking hours. Basically, parking on the north side of Adelaide is completely verboten EXCEPT for two hours on Friday mornings. For those two hours, parking is forbidden on the south side of the street. I am guessing this is due to street-cleaning rules. And knowing the Santa Monica police intimately, they have nothing better to do than give you a ticket one minute after the time stated and have you towed. Also, don't do push-ups in the middle of the street, okay?! There's a sign for that too, so obviously someone has done exactly that. On the positive side, the views are stunning and it's free. Free is good! Have fun.

I didn't buy anything at the concession stand but it looked to have all the options one would expect. I did use the bathroom. Two options. A couple down stairs and a bigger bathroom upstairs.

We sat in the last row of the first section. Now this movie is instantly one of my all time favorites. I don't cry that often, but this one ripped my heart out.

A place where you wander the street, pop in and out of stores, stand there and watch the many street performers going on. Those days are long gone. It used to be shops after shops along the three blocks. Busy businesses one after the other. The holiday and weekend were alway packed with people. Also a major destination for holiday makers wanting to see what this place is all about. Now there's nothing but empty vacant spaces. The three blocks that once use to be bustling with people is like somewhat a ghost town. You still have a few scattered shops here and there and some restaurants, but majority is empty. Even with them trying to incorporate alcohol onto the strip to encourage people to shop and visit, it doesn't seem to work. It's still pretty quiet with loads of empty spaces. Some stores have survived but at least 60 to 70 percent have vanished. It's not the same third street promenade I remember. Don't get me wrong, people still come but it's not the same hustling crowd as it once was. They still have the farmers market which I think is still one of the better one. Amazing fresh produce to choose from. You do get loads of the chefs coming for their weekly fresh produce as well as the locals. At least that's still a positive for the area. Besides that, they'll still get holiday makers visiting and walking the blvd. But the experience, won't be the same. Hopefully it'll come through and be the nice spot if once was. One can hope.

It's located on the Santa Monica Pier in front of Pier Burger and adjacently across from Bubba Gump Shrimp. From what I have read from other Yelp reviews, I didn't know Route 66 runs from Chicago downtown to Santa Monica Pier. Wow... no wonder it's a popular attraction! It may get really busy here and the line can get really long so plan accordingly. I would recommend you get your photo op first before venturing off to other places within the pier. It's a really neat place to be actually. I've been here a couple times most recently myself for different venues... one for Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA) fundraising event and another Heal the Bay beach cleanup volunteer event... so much fun! Come on out and enjoy your visit at Santa Monica 66 End of the Trail! See you here!

Since it is a timed visitation, you probably meet a few enthusiastic also heading to the Eames HOUSE. Say hello and walk together. First question popped from all of us is "are you doing the exterior or interior?" Lol who got $200 something loose change in the pocket? Turns out, the Eames Foundations really rely on the interior tour proceeds to up keep this historical home. It is sad seeing the white curtains are bleached by the California sun it reminds me of Pringo chips while the exterior wood panels seasoned by the ocean spray like 60 days aged steak. While pacing ourself along the railroad wood passageway, the guide invites us to look into the inside of the kitchen, the living room and spiral stairs. The building is constructed with exposed steels and glasses which fulfilled one of the criteria of the competition- to utilized materials that were invented or used during the WWII. I really appreciate the Eames House is spared from the wild fire.
