There was a big blowout Wednesday to celebrate the centennial of the Santa Monica Pier, the symbolic end of Route 66. That included one heck of a fireworks show:
Santa Monica Close-up has a slew of photos from yesterday’s festivities.
The Desert Sun of Palm Springs, Calif., has a nice overview of the pier.
The L.A. Times’ blog, The Daily Mirror, dig up stories of the pier’s dedication a century ago.
