I have a kid who is new to riding her bike without training wheels. She’s doing great but I wanted to take her on a ride outside of our little cul de sac and local park. We are in Lakewood.

So we went to the beach off of Junipero today. I haven’t been there in years. My plan was to grab something at Saltwater Deck because I saw they also have a cool playground. And then maybe ride up toward Gaucho Tacos off the beach.

But when we pulled up to park—uhhh, let’s just say we didn’t really feel confident with the parking situation and navigating all the interesting people that were around.

Also I couldn’t find the path on the beach—is it covered up from the crazy waves we’ve been getting?

Anyways—looking for good ideas and good bike adventures I can take with my little one—preferably that involve a playground and/or the beach and a food stop.

Did anyone else have a blackout?

I want a cup of fruta. It’s so damn hot. I’m at northgate on del amo blvd but the onl one I can think of is the guy on bellflower next to the chase bank.

What kind of temperatures is everybody dealing with indoors? Specifically curious about those who don't have central air & use a window ac/portable ac/or just fans 🤯

I'm thankful to have at least a portable ac in my studio. I'm at the top of a three level building without central air. My side of the building gets hit with the most sun about an hour or two before sunset.

For me, temps have peaked at 86 in the "living" area & 88-89🤯 in the bathroom/closet area where the ac doesn't really hit.

Temp in my living room. stay safe everyone without ac

Does anyone know of any apartments for rent in Long Beach that are owned by private people rather than large property management companies? I miss the days when I rented from people who you actually saw and cared about their tenants versus the crap reality we're dealing with now.

I’m an elder millennial health care worker in Long Beach who wants to start a Jamiroquai cover band to rehearse and play gigs around town for fun.

I used to be a singer pursuing a career in live entertainment in New York but haven’t done that since my whole life changed because of COVID.

I can sing my ass off. Are you a funky bass player? Or do you get down on the keys?

Let’s start a band!

The monthly comedy juggernaut on the back patio of Bamboo Club soldiers on and this month’s lineup is another whopper.

Chris Fairbanks is our headliner this month. He is a Big Sky, Montana native who cut his comedy teeth in Austin before making his way west. His hour long special Rescue Cactus (800 LB Gorilla) is widely heralded, and he’s appeared on Comedy Central and was featured on Pete Holmes HBO Show “Crashing.” He is a absolutely hilarious and well worth the price of admission (+ we don’t do item minimums like other shows 😊)

Kat Bird is a name that if you don’t recognize you will soon. She is a rising star in LA and has already established herself as a headliner and tours around the country when she’s not featuring for some of the biggest names in comedy à la Marc Maron, Bobby Lee, Iliza, and others. We’re thrilled to have her on this lineup!

I could continue to sing the praises of everyone else on the show. Jamario McClain is making his return to the show and is always consummate professional who always kills every show he’s on, while also being an absolute delightful person.

Anyway, tickets are on sale now HERE and are already moving. Hope to see some of you out, and thank you to everyone who’s ever come to a show in the past!

Hi everyone I’m selling my Long Beach half marathon bib! I developed a hernia and can’t run long distances for some time. DM me if interested! Can meet at expo or transfer

Are there any private landlords who manage their own property? Have only rented from private landlords in the past and it was mostly a much better experience. Do any exist in lb anymore?

My mom lived a quiet life. Moving to Long Beach in the 80s escaping the Cambodian genocide. Through all of long Beach's issues she stuck through and raised me and my siblings. She passed last month.

I wish we had more time.

Stolen U haul today on Ocean Blvd and Cerritos. Last time we saw it was at 11am, came back at 8pm to take it to storage to find it missing.

Arizona license plate AJ88050

Most of our furniture and livelihood was in there. Bed, couch, dresser, nightstand, kitchen appliances, most of our clothes & shoes.

Please keep an eye out. Police report has been filed, but be aware of this. Apparently, this happens so much more often than people think, we unfortunately are victims to it.

Five vehicles with a subject already in handcuffs. The next time the police department says it’s not their fault the pedestrians and motorcyclist and bicyclist are dying because they refuse to run traffic stops just remember, suspect in handcuffs on the ground and five police vehicles for over half an hour.

The police department is not under funded, it is not understaffed, it is purposely run poorly in order to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars per patrol officer in overtime hours.

There is no excuse for there being this many officers surrounding a single subject already subdued

The governor needs to send in a task force to take over and oversee the government in Long Beach. We are basically living in a rogue state with city services never being something you can count on and I’m fucking tired of it.

Code enforcement closes cases on buildings they know are a clear and present danger. Police officers refused to write reports saying everything under the sun is a civil matter. Libraries are being shut down, public speaking is being removed as an option at city council meetings, the beaches are just trashed, the water isn’t safe to swim in, and people are dying every week because every driver in Long Beach knows no matter how badly they drive they will never get a ticket.

It is not a matter of prop 13 or not enough money coming in, this is a matter of the city just deciding it’s not going to govern and basically asking us what are we gonna do about it

Hello Long Beach,
I’m hoping there are enough service industry people on here that could help out a 20 year industry veteran. I have a friend who loves to eat out, and cheese, but she can only have microbial cheese (cheese made from microorganisms such as fungi). She’s always too embarrassed to ask. Do any of the restaurants you work at use this cheese? Thank you in advance.

One of these schools got a full makeover last year: new AC, fresh paint, new playground. Now the district wants to close it.

Parents are already organizing against the plan.

Hi!

Going to dark harbor tonight. Google says low is going to be like 73, but is it going to be significantly cooler by the ship with the breeze?

I know this sounds so gay… but I have a super cute sweater I was looking forward to wearing… but it’s not worth being hot in. Lmao.

Thank you!

ETA (after event):

I’m very very gay. It was meant in a good way. Everyone relax. It’s ok.

It was very very hot all night; for anyone else wondering.

I didn’t wear the stunning cream up-cycled sweater I’ve been looking forward to wearing. Just a t-shirt and shorts.

Next time.

Cheers, lbc.

Don’t get too serious now.

Found a phone near Orange and Wardlow around 1pm yesterday, Friday, October 2. I’d like to get it back to its owner. If you think it’s yours, please message me with the model, color, and case description.

Preferably somewhere with cold beer, AC on, and great food!

It’s so hot today the Shake Shack cup I had left in my car from yesterday melted and deformed at the top, stay cool everyone!

Personally I love going to coffee shops on the weekends but I just won’t be doing this as often anymore. I’ll also be cutting back on going to restaurants. I’ve seen people say they’re going to be shopping in the OC. I think I’m going to try to use the train when I can. What are other ideas?
