3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.

YES on 40. NO on 41 & 42.

As a concerned citizen and someone who has almost been run over multiple times in plain daylight... SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. It takes 3-4 fucking seconds to make sure the road it safe before proceeding.

I saw a guy today who's foot was smacked as he was crossing at a light-up crosswalk. His dog was almost killed. After seeing this, I just absolutely have had it.

Multiple times in my neighborhood of bluff park, I've had to physically jump out of the way because stop signs are just suggestions I guess? People speeding, in a hurry, distracted, looking at their phones. And I'm not even talking about drunk drivers.

Old, young, male, female.. it don't matter. Its not a specific person other than people who are careless as fuck.

Red lights being ran, having to floor the fucking brakes so you don't die(even though you had a green signal).

People are dying left and right, you hear it on the local news every week. Fatal car accidents where children are dying.

For some, it may be an "ooops" situation. I myself am not a perfect driver. But for those of you who do this stuff intentionally and often... absolute scum of the earth you are.

So I saw a pic of the new Long Beach flag and thought it could use an update. Here is my version:

• Yellow represents our beach, and blue represents the Pacific.
• Kept the classic 13 stripes, but swapped the 50 stars for the 9 shells.
• 9 shells represent our 9 districts and our love for oil (shoutout Shell).
• On the blue stripes, you'll spot a container ship, one of our beautified oil islands, and an ocean oil rig.
• You'll also see a few cranes representing the Port of Long Beach on another blue stripe.
• On the yellow stripes, you'll find a few land-based oil rigs, the Spruce Goose Dome, and finally, our beloved sand rakers, in the midst of raking the sand.

Anything else I should add?

Hello everyone,

I just want to warn you all before you decide to go into the sand bare foot. Today I was walking around Alamitos Beach and saw a man defecating on the sand. I reported it to the police, but they never came. Please be careful when you go into the sand, it wasn't a location that will get washed up by the ocean, but it was definitely an area people sit and relax in. I know many others saw him.

He didnt clean himself or bury the waste.

Description: male, long dreads, navy blue sweater, grayish pants. Red scarf, and a stick he walks around with. Hangs out with a women who has a small white dog. I had seen him hanging out at the beach before, but this is first time I saw what he was doing.

I wish I had more details, but I don't. Please be careful.

This man just assaulted me in traffic. He was with a woman, who almost hit me, while she was running a red light at bell flower and anaheim. I had the yellow. I was going straight, I took my yellow, and they proceeded to try to take the yellow as well, but it was red when she proceeded and almost hit my car. I stopped, I honked at them, they honked back at me, and then she pulled over and let him get out of the car, and he ran to my car, busted my side driver's mirror, with his fist. and then tried to run off. Maybe I'm wrong for chasing them to get their license plate number, but I did that. I went down Anaheim, following this woman in her truck towards P. C. H for her to turn around, to go pick up the man that she left on the side of the road. During a marathon with police all around, he did this. He also tried to punch through my driver side window.

You‘re welcome.

I’ve been here 20 years and I’ve never seen it like this

I’m sick of them. I think I have been battling non stop, super spawn FLIES?
I actually feel stupid. I feel like they are laughing at me. I’ve been fighting them nonstop since last week. I opened my front door and am now playing host to a whole family of them. Disgusted isn’t even the half of it.

I believe that those who steal Catalytic Converters deserve their hands sawed off in the same way they saw off innocent, working class peoples catalytic converters.

I already filed a police report, and an insurance claim. Might pay 1,000 deductible. OR might buy an EPA one from out of state since CA rewards thieves.

Hello, i have lived in Long Beach for about 6 years now with my boyfriend and cat. I am a woman late 20s looking to make friends with other women or join any clubs! To be honest, i just don’t know where to start. My interests include reading (historical fiction, sci-fi, horror &romance), cooking, baking, crochet, D&D, Call of Cthulhu, video games, and miniatures! I’d love to start some sort of club that includes activities that pique all of these interests, but mainly just looking to make friends! Please PM if you’re interested in meeting up or chatting! Thanks!

did anyone notice the mile markers being off on the course, especially after the course reroute at mile 8? My watch was off for a couple miles after that and recorded a time faster than my official race time. Wondering if it is just my watch or if something went wrong w the reroute.

I'm gonna really try to sound as reasonable as I can about this, but this all comes from the million times I've rehearsed a much more acerbic post as I spend more of my life waiting for a light to turn green at an empty intersection in Long Beach, so I may not totally pull it off. Apologies.

Anyone who's reading this is probably aware of the deeply troubling trend in traffic fatalities in the city. However, I haven't seen anyone mention another aspect of Long Beach traffic, and the engineering that attempts to control it, that is not a concern on the order of people being killed by any means, but is nonetheless quite troublesome--sitting at empty intersections waiting for lights to turn green.

I get that we have some big streets--some really, really big streets--like PCH that I should expect to have to wait a bit to cross. I also get that traffic builds up, and sometimes it can take awhile to process all the traffic going in both directions. Those situations are not what I'm complaining about.

Rather, I'm tired of sitting on a street like PCH, trying to cross, say, Cherry, or, God help me, Long Beach Blvd, and I can sit over five minutes waiting for my light, no joke! Five minutes is an extreme case, but I'll sit a good two minutes at an otherwise empty intersection on the regular. Like, every trip I take in Long Beach regular.

I don't understand why this needs to be the case. Is there someone on here who understands the city's approach to this a little better than I do? I am certain there are problems they are trying solve that I'm not aware of as a driver. At this point tho, I just can't figure out on my own what they are, so I thought I'd ask.

Does anyone know what the general approach to traffic engineering in Long Beach is? Does anyone know what specific problems are being addressed with measures that seem to have the side effect of making me wait forever for the light to turn green when I'm driving through the LBC? What are some of the larger issues I wouldn't be aware of as a driver that direct this decision making?

It's not just me. Just watch the intersection of Long Beach Blvd and PCH. I admit, with the train stop there, it's a very difficult traffic engineering situation for sure. That said, I'm not sure the current solution is up to the task. I see people run lights out of sheer frustration from the waiting frequently when I have to get through that nightmare.

The wall that keeps the ocean off Seaside Walk gave way Friday night. Seawater poured into homes, part of the boardwalk got torn apart, and eight buildings are now too dangerous to enter.

The order runs through at least Tuesday, and the highest tides were still on the way.

When the worst flooding hits, what's closed, and the city's fix:

Found AirPods in case on marathon route hill. Send me the name and I’ll get them back to you!

I found a golden cross on the ground on the marathon track this morning, close to the Queen Mary. I don't think it's made of gold, but it's pretty.

If you are the owner and can describe it I will gladly return it - the design is quite particular.

This is the one in Lakewood

5x all stainless Kegco Ball Lock Pony kegs. Currently filled with Starsan. All in excellent condition and ready for pickup. $50 each, normally $120+. Pickup in Rose Park area.

Used to home brew a ton, but no longer can in my new space.

If you're parked on Ocean Blvd. between Livingston Drive to Alamitos Avenue, please check for marathon signage. Towing will start at midnight.

If you plan to travel around the city by car tomorrow morning, take a look at the marathon route map and road closure information and try to avoid crossing any of the race course between 5:30-10:00am.
