BEST OF LONG BEACH
Think your life is tough? Well, just try figuring out who has the best cure for a hangover or who makes the best oatmeal. Yeah, you may have one of those jobs where you lift stuff or save lives or read, but do you have to whittle down and/or differentiate between the best maple bars, the best bookstores, the best beer slingers, thrift shoppers, shoe repairers, sports teams and citizens? Well, we do. And we’re happy to give to you this list, this document of what we like best about Long Beach. Also? Sorry it’s so short. (That’s what she said.)
