Was having lunch at the picnic tables off 1st by the beach and found a lost earring with out the back.

If it's yours send me a pic of the other one and we can arrange a way for you to get it back.

This might be a long shot but I remember like 10-12 years ago the LBT bus drivers wore these red? hawaiian shirts with a print that had the LBT buses all over. I thought they were the coolest things ever and I was in a hawaiian shirt phase at the time. I thought “maybe one day they’ll sell them or I can find them second hand online or ebay). I can’t find them online but does anyone know what I’m talking about or where I can find them? Thank you

Hi anyone who sees this, could someone PLEASE let me know who yo report the back alley of my apartment structure? It's between Chestnut and Henderson where they meet 20th street. The owner/manager won't do anything about it, but it is a CONSTANT thing. My kids have almost been hurt multiple times because there will bust be some random peice of metal sticking out, AND it all smells like piss/poop because of the animals around the area, and Neighbors dogs.....please, if ANYONE can help take care of this issue, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Hello all, I am planning on working on a documentary about some sort of niche organization around Long Beach or surrounding areas. I don't want to make the documentary about a super dark organization, but I don't want it to be something surface level or ordinary like "Cactus Club" or just a charity/nonprofit. Does anyone know of any organizations that could be intriguing to dig into and potentially make a documentary about? I was picturing it to have a non-lighthearted or more mysterious atmosphere at least. Absolutely open to all suggestions, thank you!!

I’m not sure if anyone else here is an air raid siren enthusiast but I figured I’d take a chance and ask

EDIT: I apologize for being a bit confusing and unclear in the original post so here's the clarified information

The siren is a Federal Signal Model 2 located at the "Pier J Facility" in the Port of Long Beach, next to the Queen Mary. The Pier J Facility is an onshore oil processing facility connected to the THUMS Islands (the oil islands along the coast of downtown LB that look like they have fancy resorts/condos on them). This is where the oil collected by the islands goes in preparation for export, according to the official City of Long Beach website. https://www.longbeach.gov/ees/oil-operations/how-we-operate/islands-and-facilities/

My photos of the siren aren't very good, but I came across these photos by Dylan Keville which shows the siren in excellent detail. The siren appears to be quite old and it looks like something hit and dented the top of its housing. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwFY5Lpc-G/?img_index=1

It may be safe to assume that this siren was installed in the late 1960s when the THUMS Islands were built but I cannot say for certain.

The only info that can really be found about this siren is on the California Statewide Siren Map, which is how I learned of its existence. According to the map, this siren is active (makes sense since it's an oil processing facility) but I have never heard it be tested nor have I been able to find any info about it being tested.

The map also states that OXY (Occidental Petroleum) runs the site, but since 2014 it has been under the ownership of California Resources Corporation. So perhaps the detail of the siren still being active is outdated as well. Again, I can't say for certain.

Cyclists suck. They ride in the street and dont follow any traffic laws, blow stop signs, don't signal turns.

Dont get me started on e-bikes and scooters.

That is all. Thank you for your time

Edit:additionally as someone that has move here from Phoenix in the last year the streest are kinda crazy on Broadway that e-bikes can speed at 30+ in a bike lane behind parked cars amist turn lanes

Where can I jam with folks in Long Beach?

There's Instant Band at Homeland Cultural Center on Anaheim over by the Mark Twain Library, Saturdat

I play bass, drums, and guitar, and would love to get more experience playing with folks!

Decided to go for a walk down the pier the other day and genuinely do not understand how the city allows it to persist in the condition that it's in. Why do other beach cities have pleasant piers, and ours is a collection of porta-potties? I couldn't even walk all the way down the pier because of the smell. The city could totally clean it up and put something useful and educational there. Am I being an asshole? I do not understand why the pier is like this.

there was a jolt just now right? lol

What is going on , it is getting louder

Yesterday, Saturday, October 17, I was walking along Pine Avenue near The Pike in Long Beach when a kind man stopped me to compliment my outfit with blue in it. We talked for a little bit, and he told me it was his birthday.

He asked if we could keep in touch and if he could have a hug. I said no to both, because I felt a little uncomfortable with the unexpectedness of the moment, even though I genuinely enjoyed talking to him.

I really appreciated your kindness and making the effort to approach me. I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

If you think this might have been you, feel free to message me with a detail from our encounter.

I know, I know, no one around here wants to hear it after the Dodgers’ last game. But I have family from Milwaukee coming into town and I know they’re going to want to go someplace to watch the Brewers play while they’re here. I’m not really a sports person so I don’t know the best spots. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a loving forever home for my cat Bernard, aka Bernie.

A year ago, I agreed to watch Bernie for a week for someone who needed a temporary place for him. That week turned into months, and his owner never came back for him.

Unfortunately, I am now in a situation where I can no longer comfortably afford the cost of caring for three animals. I want to find him a home where he can continue to be loved and well cared for.

Bernie is very sweet, affectionate, and cuddly and loves being around people. He is a 'lap cat' and is happiest when he can curl up next to you or on you. He’s the kind of cat who wants to be involved and near his people.

He has also lived successfully with another cat and a dog for the past year, so he is accustomed to a multi-pet household. He has been a really good companion and has never been a difficult or aggressive cat.

Bernie is neutered, vaccinated, and completely litter-box trained. He is around 8 years old. He is healthy and takes preventative flea/tick medication every month.

We are looking for someone who will treat Bernie as a member of the family and give him the attention and affection he deserves.

Bernie is located in the Long Beach, CA area. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in adopting him, or would like more information/photos.

I’m happy to answer any questions about his personality, habits, health, or what he’s like around other animals.

I have inserted more pictures below!

There used to be a lot but it's been a minute since I've attended any.

Wondering if anyone has a list of regular spots and times to see some local musicians for open mics?

Saw yesterday at the traffic circle. Any idea what it was about? ICE bullshit? Famous person or politico needing escort?

Somebody in my apartment carried a couch out of their unit and didn’t take the time to get it disposed of. So it’s just sitting in front of our place bringing in an unwanted number of houseless people peaking into out apartment trying to find a place to stay.

I want the couch removed but I have no idea who to call without 1) paying and 2) just carrying it to a dumpster and dropping it in.

Any advice on free services that can take care of this?

Found the flyer earlier in the week, while walking my dogs. Just wondering if folks would recommend.
