Bill Filipiak - Director
Kristi and Kristi moved to El Porto, CA from Nashville in the summer of 2024 to start the next chapter of our lives and now we're sharing our experiences with you! El Porto has a long history of being a haven of the free spirited. Until 1980, when it was annexed by Manhattan Beach, El Porto was unincorporated, it was home to musicians, artists, surfers, poets, and not surprisingly, an open drug scene. That laid back vibe remains to this day and we absolutely love it.
