Manhattan Beach says no to love sculpture on pier

MANHATTAN BEACH (KABC) -- The Manhattan Beach City Council said no to putting a Love sculpture at the base of Manhattan Beach Pier.

A local billionaire and philanthropist offered to loan the city one of four original Love sculptures by artist Robert Indiana.

City council members were concerned the famous sculpture would take away from the simplicity of the pier, but the council did offer a spot at the Manhattan Beach Civic Center.
