By maureen megoWan / re/max Palos Verdes execs

On the morning of August 6, 1846, Juan and Jose Sepulveda were at the Port of

San Pedro and spotted an American Warship and sent word to the local Mexican

army. This ship, commanded by Commodore Robert Stockton, had been sent to

San Pedro by President Polk, to seize California in the name of the United States,

after hostilities had begun with Mexico on April 25, 1846. On August 11th, Stockton

began to march his troops from San Pedro to the pueblo Los Angeles. The local

Mexican soldiers, unprepared to defend the city, fled to Mexico, and on August

13th, Stockton rode into Los Angeles without firing a shot.

Stockton, returning to Monterey, left Lt. Gillespie in charge of Los Angeles. Lt.

Gillespie proved to be particularly unsuited to command the city, and after issuing

a number of very draconian measures, including limiting the right of more than 2

people meeting together and arresting several important citizens for questioning,

the people of Los Angeles rose up in rebellion.

On October 6th. the frigate “Savannah” arrived with reinforcements. Juan

Sepulveda, in charge of a 45 man patrol, saw the arrival of the American war ship,

and sent word to other Californians. The Californians repeatedly attacked the

advancing American column, and after a particularly devastating cannon attack, the

Americans again retreated to the “Savannah” in San Pedro harbor. The Americans

buried their dead on Deadman’s Island in the harbor, and waited for reinforcements.

Bones discovered on Deadman’s island

during the removal of the island for the

constructionoftheSanpedrobreakwater.

universityDominquezhillsarchives

On October 23rd, the “Congress” sailed into San Pedro harbor with Commodore

Stockton and reinforcements. The Californian forces created an illusion of having

many more men than they actually had by riding in a circle single file through

a gap in the trees in a hill overlooking the harbor, and by dragging brush to

kick up dust. Stockton, thinking that he was facing a force of at least 800 men,

panicked and immediately set sail for San Diego. The war was far from over,

however, as a land force led by Colonel Stephen kearney was moving across the

continent towards California. kearney succeeded in reaching Stockton in San

Diego, and on December 29th, their combined force of approx. 600 men marched

up the coast towards Los Angeles.

On the morning of January 9th, 1847, a bloody battle took place overlooking

the San Gabriel River, near present day Montebello, between the Californian’s and

the Americans, and during the battle, young ygnacio Sepulveda, the brother of

Juan and Jose Sepulveda was killed. The next morning, the triumphant American

forces marched into downtown Los Angeles.

On January 11th, Fremont’s men reached the San Fernando Valley and when

Andres Pico, leader of the Californian forces surrendered his sword in a Cahuenga

rancho house, California’s participation in the Mexican-American war had ended.

On February 2, 1848, the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo was signed annexing

California to the United States.

The Vanderlip Cottage99 Vanderlip Dr. Rancho Palos Verdes

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own both a beautiful home as well as a piece of history. Frank Vanderlip, the original developer of Palos Verdes, constructed this earliest existing home on the Pen-insula in 1916 in the Portuguese Bend area as his summer home, which he called “The Cottage”. The Cottage is ideally situated at the top of the Portuguese Bend community, and adjacent to the famous Vanderlip Mansion. The home has incredible ocean and Catalina views, and the site was hand-picked by Mr. Vanderlip as the ideal location on the Peninsula for views and the consistency of its delightful climate.

The Cottage has 4 bedrooms , 4 bathrooms, and is approx. 3,866 sq. ft. There is also an adjacent 1 bedroom 1 bath approx. 478 sq. ft. guest house. Both the dining room and living room exude a Victo-rian style of the 1920´s. The private entrance drive is up a beauti-ful tree lined promenade ending at the entrance to the Vanderlip Mansion and The Cottage. The sense of history and exclusivity of the home , combined with it´s beautiful architecture, pool area, and views, makes The Cottage one of the most unique homes on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

raving pancakes? How about a family friendly atmosphere? What about an amazing ocean view?

Well, then Uncle Bill’s Pancake House in Manhattan Beach is your place.

Located at 1305 Highland Avenue, Uncle Bill’s has been a breakfast staple in Manhattan Beach and the South Bay for five decades.

Opening its doors in 1961, Uncle Bill’s is in the midst of celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Getting its name from owner Uncle Bill

McElroy, the location was constructed as a home in 1908 before being turned into what is now considered by many to be

the best breakfast joint in the beach cities.

“It is all because of our longevity that people remember Uncle Bill’s and keep coming back,” owner Matt Van Amburgh said. “The consistency of employees and ownership is a winning formula and is tough to duplicate.

“People get a sense of nostalgia when they come in here. It is like history here. Uncle Bill’s has a lot of support in the community--families, local residents.”

Van Amburgh took over for his father Paul in 1991, who bought the place in 1973, and has since tried to not just to make Uncle Bill’s a breakfast spot, but a place people come for lunch too.

Serving breakfast and lunch daily, uncle Bill’s is open Monday-Friday 6a.m. to 3p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 7a.m. to 3p.m.

Stacie Weems, a waitress at Uncle Bill’s for over seven years, said that on average, over 10 customers come in every day. not one a week, not twice a week, but seven days a week.

Weems sees Uncle Bill’s not as your typical restaurant, but instead, a place that is more relaxed and laid back.

“This place has such character. It was one of the first houses in Manhattan Beach,” Weems said. “The ceilings are so low. It is really quirky and has an old feel. I think people appreciate that though.”

Working at Uncle Bill’s for his father since the age of 14, Van Amburgh remembers working and it being “as tight as a shoe box.”

The unconventional location of Uncle Bill’s got an upgrade in 2000 when the restaurant expanded from the space vacated by the barbershop next door.The addition then allowed Uncle Bill’s to increase the tables inside and open an outdoor patio with an ocean view.

“Our location is very rare,” said Van Amburgh.

And while patrons are no longer packed into Uncle Bill’s like sardines, it has maintained its uniqueness. With a long wooden counter, it has around 15 tables inside and an outdoor patio.

No matter where anyone sits when they come in, Weems believes customers will be engrossed in what is going on in and around Uncle Bill’s. Everyone gets to see waitresses zipping around, the traffic that

passes on the street and the cast of characters at each table.

“This place means family. you just feel at home,” Weems said. “I think it is as much about the food as the atmosphere. It is entertaining to come here and eat your food.”

Even expanding the restaurant has not diminished the wait time for customers to get Uncle Bill’s famous potatoes stroganoff or fluffy, golden pancakes.

Over this past Memorial Day weekend, patrons were waiting outside on plastic chairs between 11-2 and two hours just to get a table.

“The customer service you get here is unlike anywhere else,” Van Amburgh said. “There has to be some reason why we have been here this long. We just have good food and great value.

“Once you are in here, you are on a freight train, but once you leave, we hope that you come back.”

To show how appreciative Uncle Bill’s was of its loyal customers, around 12 years ago Van Amburgh began taking pictures of customers or having them bring their own to place up on the walls of Uncle Bill’s.

“We have been blessed to be around this long,” Van Amburgh said. “It has become a destination for so many people.”

So many have in fact come through the doors of 1305 Highland, that Van Amburgh said he has run into Uncle Bill’s customers in Hawaii, Mexico and even London.

While Van Amburgh said that opening other Uncle Bill’s has crossed his mind, something his dad said years ago has stuck with him.

“My dad used to say ‘Replication can be a trap for mediocrity,’” Van Amburgh said. “And that is something that I have always thought about.”

And replicated, it sure hasn’t, because in the South Bay, Uncle Bill’s is one of a kind.
