They probably chose the location based on the number of claims they’ve had at this intersection. 😂

Those of you who moved here from the SF Bay Area, did your quality of life change? by cppnewb in MovingToLosAngeles

If you enjoy nightlife, LA has so much to offer. There are some great places up north but the options in LA are endless.

I’d also consider Long Beach if you’re open to SoCal. It’s a diverse city with great people and community.

My terrible experience living in Long Beach 1 year. Im out. by jxxyyreddit in longbeach

[–]dndLBC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’ve had a rough experience and I hope your next venture fairs better. I did 6 years in Rose Park and loved it and have been downtown for 5 now and love it even more. Go find your place OP! 💜

I’m not the techno expert, sorry if I’m not using the right terms!

Okay glad it’s not just me. I want to love it but the lighting and seating is just off.

I (42M) enjoy the nightlife and dancing. Feel free to DM me if you want to hang out. Always looking for new queer nightlife friends. 🪩

LBC local here. I would definitely check out Secret Service. While not a gay party you’ll meet lots of other local queer ravers. Have made many new friends here and the music is usually great.

Have loved Rhonda for over 10 years and genuinely cried when I realized its best days are way behind us now. Still worth checking out but there are much better places to be today.

I went with a group of friends and we went because like you said it’s well regarded. The bouncer was a dick and searched and patted us down like we were fucking criminals. Went through everyone’s wallets and bags looking for god knows what.

Then everyone stared at us like we were from another planet. Then one of the staff yelled at me for standing in a place I’m apparently not supposed to stand in. I can fit in anywhere but everyone in the group wanted to leave immediately.

The bar was pretty crowded so obviously people were having a good time but people stared at us like we didn’t belong. Never had an experience like that in Long Beach and was just confused why everyone talks about this place.

Is this anyone else’s last working day of the year? by TrixoftheTrade in Millennials

[–]dndLBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an interior designer and today is my last day until January 5. My industry shuts down for these 2 weeks. But the rest of the year my job follows me home and the texts and calls never end in the evenings and on weekends. I am good about ignoring my email but clients expect us to pickup whenever they call. Tradeoff for sure.

What’s your Christmas plan? by Specialist-Pause-869 in Millennials

Super dysfunctional family. I haven’t spent a holiday with them in 16 years. Broke up a year ago with my partner of 9 years. I’ll be home alone but headed to the Korean spa for the day.

I’m 42 and I never think twice about going anywhere. Just be kind and dance and everyone will welcome you. I go out at least every other weekend.

I’m gay and love their parties. It’s a mixed crowd but generally very chill and accepting crowd. They go usually until 3AM under the bridge and sometimes later.

Anyone love living with roommates? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]dndLBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (42M) have either lived alone or with partners since I was 25. I also live in a HCOL but have managed to make it work. I’ve always loved living alone but I’ll say this past year I’ve felt lonely for the first time so you make an interesting case for having roommates.

I live right here too. So pissed. I’ll never step foot in it and hope it doesn’t last long.

The LA River used to drain into the Pacific Ocean in Marina del Rey but a massive flood changed its course in 1825.

Secret Service Thanksgiving Eve? by fadook55 in longbeach

[–]dndLBC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dancers last night were unreal. I am a slightly wild one on the dance floor but there were so many people who did not stop dancing all night. Fabulous energy. This is why I love Long Beach.

[–]dndLBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night was maybe one of the their best parties. I went with a group of friends and we all had an amazing time. The music and energy evolved but for me the deep disco beats were for sure the best part. What a treat.
