Republican headquarters office to open in CdM

Signs in the window of the former John Blom photography studio space indicate a Republican headquarters office will be opening on Aug. 20, according to Corona del Mar Today.

“Volunteers welcome,” says one sign in the window of the space at 3732 E. Coast Hwy. Other signs in the window include political posters for Elizabeth Emken, who is opposing U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and for presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Last week, a psychic shop opened in the building; read that story here.

The building owner, Bryan Seigel, has said he is working on negotiating a long-term lease with a client that would be very appealing to Corona del Mar residents. Other leases are month-to-month, he has said.

Photographer John Blom closed the studio in April and sold the building.
