San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: The Marina
When most visitors to San Francisco think about The Marina, sometimes called the Marina District, they think of the Presidio, which borders this neighborhood to the west. However, when Bay Area residents think about The Marina, they think of the neighborhood’s incredible dining options, the day spas that pamper and please, the spectacular sightlines on the city’s waterfront, the trendy and chic shops and the easy rhythm of life here.

Couple in Britain Chooses Unusual Wedding Transportation
We get a lot of unusual requests from our wedding limousine guests, and we do our very best to accommodate them. After all, we never forget that we’re in the hospitality business.

Proposed Law Targets Party Buses
A California lawmaker has proposed legislation that will close a loophole in an existing law and will make limousine companies responsible for underage drinking that goes on in their vehicles. Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, recently proposed Assembly Bill 45, also known as the Brett Studebaker Law, to be passed in the California state legislature. If passed, the law will require California limousine services, party bus operators and other group transportation companies classified as “carriers” to check the identification of all passengers and require anyone under 21 to sign an agreement not to drink while riding in the vehicle. Current state laws require chauffeurs to sign such an agreement before transporting passengers. If an underage passenger violates the terms of the agreement, the driver must terminate the contract and return all passengers to the point of origin.

Rolls-Royce Looking into Electric-Powered Rolls Limousine
A statement released by Rolls-Royce has announced that the legendary automaker is considering production of an electric-powered limo in the near future. A recent uptick in sales of its luxury vehicles, a remarkable 171 percent in challenging economic times, and the corresponding influx of capital has inspired Rolls to explore new technologies. While the company has made no official announcement regarding when a prototype could be ready, industry watchdogs speculate that the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London is the target date. It makes sense that the world-class automaker would seek out a world-class event for maximum marketing potential. BMW has already announced that the London Games will be the coming-out party for their new environmentally friendly class of luxury cars.
9-Year-Old Sets Sights on Renting a Limo for Kids in Shelter
A story out of Iowa caught our eye recently. A nine-year-old Southeast Iowa girl named Presley Poor, who has created and administrated fundraisers for local kids and families living in a local emergency shelter, has put her next plan in motion. She’s going to raise funds to rent a limousine and take the kids staying at a local shelter for a day at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo. Ms Poor’s most recent fundraising success involved sponsoring a pizza party for 40 kids staying with their mothers at Lydia House, an emergency shelter in Omaha. Through sheer force of will and an uncommonly generous spirit, she singlehandedly raised $300 to make this pizza party happen.
Volkswagen Beetle Limousine Offered for Sale
A limousine service on the East Coast is offering a custom 2001 Volkswagen Beetle converted to a limousine on eBay for a cool $45,000. The white limoBug offers custom lighting accents, wet bar, grey leather seating, mirrored roof and a top-shelf audio/video system as well as an unmistakable profile certain to draw attention wherever it goes. The sellers aren’t being forthcoming with details about the limoBug’s power plant, but a 2.0-liter, air-cooled, four-cylinder engine commonly powered 2001 Beetles. Unless the customization craftsmen expanded the limoBug’s engine compartment, and it appears that they did not, it could take a very long time for this luxury limousine transporting six to eight guests to reach highway speeds.
