Looks like, for the time being, we're back at the Hilton. Hopefully we'll get the same deal for breakfast like we used to....

You like watching hobos taking a crap in the street?

Haven't seen much of that. I mostly like the beach, the open air outlet mall, the walkability, the nice weather, and the great restaurants, bars, and coffee shops around.

How about you just bid short layovers.....
It is not about being a tourist. I just want to be able to get decent food, and that pretty much excludes airport hotels.

I saw a homeless guy get into a fight with a trash can in front of the LB hotel. Still not sure who won - hope him and the trash can are both doing ok.

Downtown Long Beach, at least the waterfront area, seems to be a lot cleaner and less homeless-y than most other parts of CA.

And you're right, I don't have to be a tourist at every overnight. Because 90% of our overnights don't lend themselves to that. Long Beach is one of the rare overnights that actually does. So I take full advantage. Good weather, beaches, running, hiking, bike rental, boat rental, great food and drink. I'd like to keep it, please and thank you.

Sing it with me. "Don't know what you got... til it's gone..."

I saw a dude whacking off on a large rock down by the marina. Fortunately just the back side, the other tourists in the area not so fortunate. That said, glad we're back in LGB!

I would have thought Ed Force One would have dropped these lyrics

I close my eyes and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is?
You never miss it till it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be till my dying day
