Hey Wait?? are these the firepits on Ocean Beach??? What? someone wants to close them??? WHY??? They seem a great place for people to come together on the OB beach….all controlled !!! Why end it??/
I was there for 2 weeks for the first time and thought it was great to let people get together on the beach for awhile…..I really can not understand why anyone would want to stop it……
