    South Coast Plaza launches curbside pickup service
    As “non-essential” merchants get a shot at reopening, South Coast Plaza has begun a centralized curbside pickup service as the Costa Mesa mall.
    Like many indoor retail hubs, the mall known for its collection of high-end stores and restaurants has been shut to help slow the spread of coronavirus. South Coast Plaza closed in mid-March after a store employee was diagnosed with COVID-19.

    To save Laguna Beach restaurants, city officials are considering turning the famous downtown Forest Avenue into a pedestrian-only area that will accommodate outdoor dining options.
    The idea stemmed from a month-long project in which Laguna Beach City Councilwoman Sue Kempf consulted with restaurants citywide about their challenges.
