CONNECTED SURFACE

This page hangs off /collabs as the concrete version of the "HOST LOCAL" path: a small scouting surface for coffee shops that could plausibly anchor future /tv stations or feed the broader SoCal lens at /local.

Field plot

Plotted from current Apple Maps place coordinates so the pins reflect real geography.

The downtown and Smoky Hollow stops are the easiest cluster to work into a normal El Segundo day. The Sepulveda and Continental pins are more weekday-office energy.

How to use it

If you want the classic walkable El Segundo loop, start with Blue Butterfly on Main, hop east to Smoky Hollow on Sierra, then cut back toward Offset on Pacific Coast Highway. Save the PCT Towers and Continental locations for weekday meetings, and treat Two Guns as the clean southbound escape hatch.
