Renaming a rose won't change it's scent. But as much as I like the design, this place has a few strikes.
#1. They obliterated the interior retro design along with Kevin Anderson's murals.
#2. They didn't build the business facing traffic but away from it.
#3. They got PC approval to build it under the following conditions for the sake of Sea Bluffers:
a: They wouldn't be open past 10pm
b: They wouldn't build a car wash
c: They wouldn't sell alcohol
d: They wouldn't sell propane

Well, they didn't build the car wash yet.

7-11's are always 24 hour operations. Alcohol is a main stay sales item and propane is an easy turnover. Now the derelicts have a place to hang out!

The Leucadia Blog!

English spiritualists settled Leucadia in 1870 and are reputed to have danced, in diaphanous white robes, in the little Roadside Park. The spiritualists are the reason so many of the streets are named after Greek gods and goddesses. Leucadia is Greek for "a sheltered place." Heritage Eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s, still grace the highway. When President Roosevelt passed through Leucadia in an open car during the Depression, local children climbed the Eucalyptus trees to wave to him. Change happens slowly in this nostalgic little California beach town. In lieu of fast food restaurants and franchise chain stores, Leucadia has two miles of Mom 'n Pop businesses, and that's the way everyone likes it. It's most memorable bumper sticker is "Keep Leucadia Funky." The town played an active role in the rebirth of the classic Highway 101 shield, restored by the city in 1997, and was part of the successful 101 Campaign to have Highway 101 declared an historic route.
