i know for a fact that there are these same "maniacs" in the Marina, Playa Del Rey, etc. it's not where they live it's where we all live. "maniacs" are partying on the beach in Malibu, Palisades, in the alleys of Beverly Hills, Brentwood.... We all have a real problem. Rest In Peace Duwayne.

Condolences to Duwayne Bennet's family, I'm sorry for your loss. Also, according to mapquest 4070 Lincoln Blvd. Marina Del Rey, CA 90292-5614 and according to usps.com (United States Postal Service.

I KEEP IT 100

For all of us that have the opportunity to share part of our lives with DuWayne and enjoy his wonderful heart this has been a terrible and sad experience. I know you are with our Holly Father and you will be in our memory always.

DuWayne was my friend. Yes, please rest in peace. All of us who loved him are in horrible shock and sorrow at his passing. Hell is waiting for his murderer.

And your point is what? Does that effect your property value, is that why? You better pray you never cross one if these maniacs that will kill you for looking at them the wroig way!
RIP Duwayne Bennett

Businesses in the area might claim MDR, but Marina del Rey this is not. Check your Thomas Guide - the boundaries are clear.
