This Week: Chinatown, Historical Character and Erin Brockovich

“But that’s not how it works here. I’m hoping someone proves me wrong here, anyone … city council, Pat West, Bob Foster, but until then…Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.”
Sam Lowry on “$30,000 A MONTH IN INTEREST…”

“As a resident of the neighborhood south of the Gaska property I could care less about the mid-century architecture style of the Roberts building.”
Dennis on “THE MARSHALLS PLAN”

“If the council is set on building a new structure, why in God’s name is it so hard to just mandate that it reflect the historical character (or just any small sliver of character) of Long Beach as opposed to the strip mall aesthetics of, say, Orange County?”
khigginbotham on “THE MARSHALLS PLAN”

“It will not be long until some aggressive young attorney figures out that there is a Erin Brockovich sized settlement waiting in the wings.”
RKJ on “FURUTANI’S FIRST BLOOD”

“By the way, anyone for a drive up the Terminal Island Freeway from the port? It’s so nice to see the children out at Cabrillo and Hudson, with the rattly trucks spewing black smoke RIGHT to them.”
John on “FURUTANI’S FIRST BLOOD“
