Santa Monica’s last pawnbroker has found a new homes.  From the story:

More than a month after loosening zoning restrictions to help a pawn shop find a new home, the City Council is now set to become the business’ new landlord.
The council tonight is expected to enter a lease agreement with Angelo’s Pawn Shop for a 2,300 square-foot space at 1334 Fifth St., which City Hall recently purchased as part of its Downtown parking improvement plan.
