General store revives Laguna Auto Parts site with new Pearl St. shop
Michele and Tom Reynolds transformed the former Laguna Auto Parts location into Pearl St General at Pearl Street and South Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. They discovered a hidden back room with a dog hiding tennis balls behind a wall and other remnants from the site’s past. The couple, ecotourism entrepreneurs, mapped a vision for their new store from the lease to ongoing renovations.
