Independence Day is more
than a chance for family and
friends throughout the country
to gather for barbecues and fireworks displays. It is an annual
celebration to commemorate
the courage and faith of our
founding fathers in their pursuit of liberty.
Fourth of July is
the time to celebrate
our wonderful “land of
the free and home of
the brave.” It is also the
perfect time to rejoice
in the history of our
great nation. This patriotic day in the calendar
of United States marks
the struggle of America’s independence
and also reminds us of
our beautiful country’s
greatness and grandeur.
With all the fanfare
and festivities around, there
could not be a better way to
exult in the glory and history
of Fourth of July.
America celebrates July 4
as Independence Day because
it was on July 4, 1776, that
members of the Second Con-
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY,
AMERICA!
tinental Congress, meeting
in Philadelphia, adopted the
final draft of the Declaration
of Independence. Following its
adoption, the Declaration was
read to the public in various
American cities. Whenever
they heard it, patriots erupted
in cheers and celebrations.
As the star-spangled banner proudly
waves and there’s joy
and celebrations all
around, it’s time to say,
“Happy Birthday America” and honor our great
country.
If you have a friend
or a loved one in the
armed forces, then send
a Thank You card and
wish him or her a Happy Fourth of July!

THE CORONA DEL MAR BID PRESENTS
BUSINESS BEAUTIFICATION AWARD TO CROWN ACE HARDWARE
Congratulations to the
Schulein family, owners of the
Corona del Mar Crown Ace
Hardware, for being chosen
as recipients of this month’s
Business Beautification Award
in recognition of a recent store
expansion. Here is what Mark
Schulein has to say.
“This expansion not only
allowed us to open into the
new space, but it allowed us to
positively impact the existing
store as well. As we in the village know, this store has been
bulging at the seams forever.
We were able to widen the
main aisle, expand our merchandise selection in some
key areas, and bring in the
Benjamin Moore Paint design
center, which will be a big asset
to the community. Ultimately,
this project is enabling us to
better serve the community
and has made for an even better customer experience.
“The project took almost
exactly one year. We ran into
a number of major snags with
the city and that added more
than three months and some
significant challenges to the
project. We were really excited
to see the existing architecture
of this historic CdM building
once we tore out all of the old
offices and darkroom spaces
from the Harbor Photo and
Cal’s Camera eras. Once we
had an empty shell we could
see the awesome arched ceilings and beams, we opened up
a skylight that was closed since
the ’60s and really brought a
beautiful look to the space.
Benjamin Moore’s designers
assisted me in the final design
and Jeff Erickson contractors
did an amazing job executing
the project.
“I’ve been on the BID
advisory board for about six
years now. I, and my family are
tremendous supporters of the
CdM Vision Plan. We have
been residents of Newport
since 1970 and take a lot of
pride in the community and
in our stores within the city.
We have made sure that our
projects on this store and a few
other properties within the village all add value to the community, both aesthetically and
for our customers, and that we
are an active player in assuring
a great future for CdM.
“We really want to thank
the community for the many
years of support of Crown
Ace. What many people may
not know is that Crown Ace
Hardware started in CdM in
1949 with one little store.
We have just celebrated the
opening of our 16th store this
June, in Point Loma San Diego
… and it all started here. So
we thank you for helping us
grow up! And although we’ve
added more stores, our three
Newport stores are the heart
of our company and we love
being an active part of the
community.”
Come on down and experience the difference at Crown
Ace!
