The sun leans low over the Pacific as a lacquered 1957 Pink Cadillac idles by the Marina Del Rey Starbucks, its chrome catching slices of light like a promise. You slide into a bench seat and the city melts into surf — El Segundo’s film-flung facades, the volleyball courts of Manhattan Beach, the punk-era echo in Hermosa, and the working-harbor bustle of Redondo Pier roll by in a single afternoon.
