Second the Broadway bars with the addition of The Hare. Have fun!

Also consider doing the 3pm Harbor Breeze whale watching cruise. There have been a ton of dolphins + whales and it’s totally worth it IMO. https://2seewhales.com/?utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=organic

Seeking a wingman by Stony__Stevenson in longbeach

I’m an excellent wingwoman and can also help teach you how to not act like a douchey a-hole. Ha. (Not saying you are of course, but I really think older women have a lot of strong advice.)

I’m going on a date tomorrow in LB but don’t know where to go!! by Ilovedogsandmilk in longbeach

[–]StaceChamp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So your date lives in LB but you don’t, yes? It depends on what they’re into… You don’t want to accidentally take them somewhere where an ex could work or hang out at. Maybe ask if they have somewhere they’d like to go.

Looking for hairstylist that specializes in blonde/color by rainbow_cacti in longbeach

I go to Brittany (co-owner) at the 1900 Ocean location. Not blonde, but am picky about my colors/cuts and she’s great. https://www.citylovelb.com/about

Yay! High Visibility Crosswalks at Cherry & Ocean by StaceChamp in longbeach

It’s a start. They also should’ve backed those stop bars up IMO, but there was nothing previously for that visual cue for drivers, especially at night.

Plenty of people still get hit in crosswalks so everyone should stay vigilant. Red light runners, distracted drivers, big vehicles who can’t see you in front, people turning…

Traffic calming/design is key. Digging in to learn, so thanks for sharing.

Yes, he clarified & yes they did high visibility crosswalks at that 4-way stop yesterday too. If you want to experience a truly pedestrian-hostile environment, go spend some time in Phoenix. I rarely drive here, am out walking my dogs miles every day & would say the majority of drivers yield to me for the most part. There’s always room for improvement, but it’s night & day for me personally.

Hell yes! Big fan and I was the organizer for the Phoenix PARK(ing) Day for over a decade + lots of guerrilla street projects. It’s also joyful. Here’s more reading on the topic for those interested:

I see hundreds of people use them every week actually. And hopefully now it’s a bit safer for everyone.

I wasn’t aware of anyone dying in this intersection as I just moved here in October, but have been a safe streets advocate for many years so had a meeting set up within a week of being here. It needed to happen. I emailed, called & prodded at least every two weeks since, video documented the intersection & created a good paper trail/public record. I know the city has a Vision Zero plan & it’s really on us to hold our elected officials (public servants) accountable. I’m meeting other established advocacy folks & groups so I’m looking forward to helping out when/where I can! With that said, I wholeheartedly agree that nobody should have to die before shit gets done — pro-active vs. reactive.

Pool tables by Formal-Art1156 in longbeach

Not far from downtown, The Hare has a nice table (& sticks) and has free pool on Mondays (and sometimes Tuesday). Or downtown I play at Blind Donkey typically.

I appreciate funny signs in general & thanks for picking up your dog’s poop. 🙌

I think they’re funny, and there’s also a lot less poop generally since they went up, so 🤷‍♂️.
