WOW!
You did a fantastic job, I haven’t been down to Long Beach since the summer so I didn’t realize they have completed the new city hall. Long Beach is a good walking city and often I would walk for hours around the city. My wife and I do miss living there, but it’s just to long of a commute (2 hours each way), yet I work with some who do this every day from the LBC, which I think is crazy. I also haven’t been to San Pedro in a while but I hear they are actually working on some big projects as well. It’s kind of weird as San Pedro feels far away from LA city with little in common. I always thought it was an interesting area to check out and I would quite often drive over the bridge from my condo in downtown Long Beach. In a stange way I can see the neighborhood fitting in somewhere in the Bay Area. Again thanks for the awesome thread, I don’t think anyone on here has ever captured the LA/Long Beach port as extensive as you have. |
That was awesome. Haven't been down there for a couple years now. San pedro and the Port area is getting a lot of development and upgrading and Long Beach is an awesome city

Excellent photos! It's nice that you've showcased a part of LA County that I've always loved! Long Beach was always in my world ever since I was a kid, as my mom worked there, and it's not far from where I grew up. Also, I graduated from CSULB in the mid-1990s, so I am very familiar with Long Beach.
I was actually in Long Beach a few weekends ago in the 4th Street Corridor Area/Retro Row area, and Broadway (one of my old haunts when I was a college student) and almost took pictures, but didn't. I'm glad you posted your photos! |
Excellent photos of LB... I am really looking forward to seeing what impact the new projects (Shoreline gateway and the Omni Broadway) have on the skyline. I have always loved Long Beach and feel that it has SERIOUSLY been overlooked by developers over the years. Considering LB has half a MILLION people I am rather surprised it doesn't have more highrises. However they do have some REALLY cool old school buildings that have always fascinated me. I especially like that old building on Ocean and PCH with the copper slanted roof, to me it always felt like some old castle when I was a kid...That is my favorite highrise in DT LB. Also great job capturing the Harbor and Vincent St. Thomas and its replacement. Anyway I can go on and on so I'm just going to end with thanking you for sharing your photos with us all as well as thanking everyone else who likewise contributes to this forum.

Nice! :cheers:

Great job plinko! I love taking the freeway from San Pedro to Long Beach, through the port. You did a great job with your photos, but seeing it in person really helps you grasp just how massive it is.
Nice to see some more Long Beach on here. The new civic buildings are stunning, and there's quite a bit of new residential going up all over downtown. You didn't even seem to have any East Village or Belmont Shore in your photos, which are great areas. Love all the aquarium photos mixed in! |
To be brutally honest, I find the harbor/port area and San Pedro probably to be the ugliest and biggest eyesores of the entire West Coast. It's basically our equivalent of the Northern NJ industrial area. That said, the downtown area and surrounding streetcar neighborhoods of Long Beach pleasantly surprised me on a recent visit...and real estate is relatively affordable.

I like Point Fermin Park, and the views from the Korean Friendship Bell are pretty nice. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...4dUDCAY&uact=5 https://www.google.com/search?q=kore...biw=1680&hl=en |
Wonderful!

great to see the port in such detail. lb is a nice place. they need to work on the modern towers though. they’re a bit 1980s outer loop/office parky. i’m sure it will come.

It may be, but it is extremely impressive as a facility its absolutely enormous and to see the ships and massive stacks of containers is kind of cool. I was down there at the cruise terminal in December, made my way through San Pedro which I was pleasantly surprised at, took the road over Palos Verdes, made a few stops along the way, couple short hikes and down to Redondo Beach pier for lunch. Great day! Nice job plinko. |
Many great shots showing the massive scale of the port!

Inside Long Beach is better than what it looks like from the sea.

As I said above, I’ve been spending a bit of time periodically in Long Beach recently. About every 6-8 weeks we are spending about two days at a time down there. It’s been fun to explore the city much more, nearby excellent restaurants (particularly in Seal Beach), and just getting a different flavor of LA that isn’t quite as chaotic or a placid as the OC. To add to this thread, some more pictures, including from Signal Hill. I cannot wait for wintertime when the sun is lower and I can go up there with clearer skies. We’ve had one or both kids with us each time, so exploration time is a bit limited.

Thanks for sharing, I miss Long Beach and love seeing all changes that are happening. If it wasn’t so far from work I would move back without hesitation.

Long Beach is awesome--just the right combination of beach town and big city. It has vibrant neighborhoods and a proper downtown, all featuring lots of restaurants and bars when you want to party, but there is also a lot of room along the beach when you want more room and a more mellow vibe. Coming from SF, I was surprised how large the LGBT community is, and the light rail to downtown LA is a major regional amenity.

^ Yeah, I think Long Beach would have more prominence if not for being in Los Angeles' shadow.
