HB PIER LAUNCHES NEW KIOSKS
By Chris MacDonald
Huntington Beach Pier celebrated the
newly renovated pier buildings in a
ceremony that was held at Pier Plaza
next to the HB Pier, which sees
around 1 million people walk on and
under it each year.
For those who have visited and taken photos
before, the new look will surprise
you and you'll feel like this is it.
It's exactly what the pier should be
with four new buildings to match the
motif and themes seen in Ruby's
Diner at the end of the pier.
The public was invited to attend this event which
showcased the team that put the
project together, and the public
partnerships that were essential in
making it all come about.

Services; Janeen Laudenback,
