PLASTICMART MOVES AFTER 28 YEARS

By Peter Tigler

The crenulated roof line and mosaic welcome mat of the Knights of Columbus building were saved when Ralph Nahigian remodeled 2101 Pico Blvd. for his plastics business nearly three decades ago.

Ralph personally swept up a near empty building in finishing the move to the new PlasticMart site, east of the neighborhood on the corner of Pico and Federal.

The City of Santa Monica bought the property as an expansion to Virginia Avenue Park. Plans are to reuse the existing buildings for community program space, a PAL (Police Athletics League) gym, and park maintenance.

Ralph has been a great neighbor and asset to us. Thanks for your PNA support over the years and contribution to the neighborhood. We wish you luck.

....Wish us luck too. The City has made many unfulfilled promises regarding park development, let's hope they can deliver this time.
