If you’re an Angeleno, you know about the drawbacks to living in the city proper. But you also know that you want to be near all the conveniences that drew you to LA in the first place. PDR is all of that. It’s a small coastal community with few outsiders. It’s smack dab on the beach, but still within an easy drive of most of the major communities of our fair metropolis. Heck, we’ve even got our own freeway (the 90, shared with our pals in the Marina, to the north), where there’s never any traffic—our own little wormhole to the whole of the hole of LA. I love it here because the people are friendly and laidback, the outside noise is minimal (even this close to LAX), and few interlopers ever bother to invade our fair burg. Viva PDR!
