West of Lincoln, Santa Monica, CA. Is this really a neighborhood?
It is one in Santa Monica for myself and other locals. It’s actually going through three neighborhoods, Ocean Park, North of Wilshire and North of Montana.
But, to some locals it’s another world where they rarely travel East of Lincoln in Santa Monica. What? Sounds weird. I know since I have lived West of Lincoln and fell into the happy bubble. Didn’t realize how much of a bubble until I moved East of Lincoln.
When I lived West of Lincoln I didn’t drive much. I walked a lot of places, rode my beach cruiser and hung out with my friends that lived West of Lincoln too. It was a memorable time. Part of it's hypnotic quality is that you are really close to the beach. So you go more often, and most people don’t mind visiting you when you live near the beach. The restaurants and shops are amazing. Everyone is casual and relaxed, intoxicated by the ocean air.
