"Tacky Chic" hits the Hood: .99 Cent Store opens in Artesia

Artesia, CA

The hood around here has gone "tacky chic" with the grand opening today's new .99 Cent Store on South Street west of Pioneer Boulevard. Go figure.

In these days of tough economic times, the previous high end designer furniture store that use to occupy this retail location for generations has now gone "cheap and chic," and today it is the hottest place to shop in all of Southern California.

Just saw the amazing Gail Anderson from KTLA News on the tube praising the .99 cent organic fruits and veggie section on the tube, and there goes that Eyewitness News van running down South Street...

.99 Cent Store gave away lots of swag this morning....like 17 inch flat screens for .99 cents for 9 lucky shoppers, back packs for .99 cents, marking pens for .99 cents....you get the drill.

So, will the addition of the .99 Cent Store add extra tax revenue to the City of Artesia coffers? Remember, this community is on the verge of a fiscal meltdown.

Less than 1/2 mile from this cheap and chic location is the newly expanded Los Cerritos Center that now boasts the worlds largest Apple Store and the biggest and newest Nordstrom's in all of California. $1.700 Gucci Pumps are flying off the racks at the new Nordies, and this .99 Cent place has packets of salad for, you guest it.... .99 cents.

Go figure. I am heading over there in 30 mins. Ciao for now.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
