The August issue of San Pedro Today is out now!

On the cover: Bad Cop / Bad Cop, the all-women punk band that’s quietly called San Pedro home for most of its fifteen years. Writer Aaron McKenzie caught up with them for a story about the near-breakup that nearly ended the band, the friendship that pulled it back from the edge, and a new album that finally let them tell the truth.

Also in this issue:
* World Cup Unites San Pedro — Sanam Lamborn on packed halls, sold-out watch parties, and a first look at West Harbor
* The Olympians Next Door — Olympic sailors already training in our harbor for LA28
* SPEF Pedro Pen Winners — three local seniors share what this town taught them, in their own words
* A New Class of Pirate Greats — San Pedro High’s 2026 Athletic Hall of Fame honorees
* Recycling, Redemption and Reality — Lee Williams on the proposed CRV center on Gaffey that has the town asking questions
* The Perfect Cup — how SteffenMarkkus is turning San Pedro into a specialty coffee town
…plus August events, the crossword, and much more!
