Why is everyone so angry with this little paper? Really?…read more The Easy Reader has been a great local paper that has been an active part of the Beach Community for years. They have helped, informed and brought insight to its readers. They also have helped local charities like Waterfront Education, local schools and fundraisers so rather than trying to hurt the company, their families, its employees (and the hard work they do behind the scenes), why not provide suggestions about how to improve the paper - after all they're really an extension of us are they not? That said, lets all solve the crumpled paper delivery issues and we all will be better off! ;-)

I'll start this review by saying I don't think it's fair that other yelpers gave this entire…read morepublication one star based on one staff member writing a bad review of a band they like. I did contact these yelpers to see what their issue was and after hearing their side understand their frustrations, but don't think it's right that they dole out one star reviews when even with their own admission they've only ever picked up the one issue that included the review of the band they like and considering none of them live anywhere near the community this publication serves. Bearing in mind that this is a local weekly paper I think they do a great job at keeping the community posted on things happening in and around the beach cities. I can always rely on the Easy Reader to let me know what events are coming up, what the hot issues are on each City Council's agenda, whose running for office, what new businesses have come into town and what bands are performing in my area. (Even the ones with irrational hot headed fans) The Easy Reader offices have also served as my polling place : )

We were unable to get any formal postal service verification and received 0 phone calls after paying for their "Minimum" of 10,000 "POSTCARDS" to be mailed out. In my honest opinion this company has been very deceitful! We have tried to communicate with them for months and have had no reply from the company director. If you want to do door to door mailings I would recommend doing it yourself and you're guaranteed some response.

This place is amazing! I've been buying from this auction house for over 20 years and regretted…read morenot a single purchase. All the artwork they sell has been checked for condition and they publicly disclose what they find. They check the provenance, so I'm sure of the authentication of what I buy and I easily pay 1/4 or less than what the artwork originally sold for in the gallery (there's always a Gallery label on the back of the artwork) Jim Dine, Solomon Huerta, Claes Oldenburg, Laddie Jon Dill, Raymond Pettibon, Carlos Almaraz, Banksy, Brainwash are just a few artists, whose work I purchased from Santa Monica auctions. Somethings go for under $1000 and others go for over $100,000 It's a live auction (but also online, I also sell my old collection through them, so it's good they have a wide audience) Very fun experience; not stuffy like Bonhams and Christie's.
