Well, I unfortunately have some sad news. A long term member of our San Pedro expat community has passed away at his home on Tuesday morning. Ben Sterling was living in the Cleveland, Ohio area for the past 5 years or so. But, he will always be remembered as an ex-owner of El Barrio (2008 - 2011ish), a long time Alegre bartender, and of course Jimbo's housemate. Ben left San Pedro due to a serious health issue, complications of which caused him to have a stroke a year ago. He was on the mend, and doing so much better, which made his sudden heart attack and passing a shock. Ben is survived by his Mom, and his best friend since the first grade, Eric.
