San Pedro Today | March 2026 – San Pedro turns 138 today (March 1), and the March issue leads with the story of Kris Ursich-Pielago, the woman who refused to let thieves erase the town’s fishing heritage when bronze plaques were stripped from the Fishing Industry Memorial in 2023 and 2024. Her years-long effort to restore them culminates in an April 25 rededication ceremony, 27 years to the day after the original dedication.
ALSO INSIDE: the new Outer Harbor cruise terminal and what it means for San Pedro’s future, a profile of the volunteer-led alley cleanup effort that has removed over 100,000 pounds of trash from Central San Pedro, this year’s Women’s History Month honorees, real estate and the Olympic housing crunch, a hidden food gem at the Catalina Express terminal, March events, and much more!
