1. Special Olympics Southern California
Culver City, CA 90230
(310) 215-8380
Category:
Community Service/Non-Profit
Neighbourhoods: Culver City, Crenshaw
I believe the Special Olympics of Southern California (http://www.google.com/...) has about 52 branches and I belong to the Long Beach chapter. The Summer Games at Cal State Long Beach have just ended and over a thousand winners went home with pride…More »
2. Lola's
Que bueno!!
Now that I've received my 20th dinner (free) Lola's t-shirt, I not only lay claim to local ken but local cool. This is one stone-cold cool t-shirt my sweet diners and if my boobs weren't so big, you'd see "Long Beach" under the Dia skull.…More »

Anyone who's been in California for any amount of time soon finds themselves on the very same path,… Read more »
3. Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
I wasn't ready, should never have bought the weapon!
At least not before learning what constituted a legitimate target and what did not. I was 20, maybe 25' below the surface, about a hundred and fifty yards off the Palos Verdes peninsula, newly…More »
4. Bixby Knolls Park
A small, quiet, tree-shaded park just off Orange and San Antonio drives, Bixby Knolls Park is the perfect little spot for some hot Frisbee action. Remaining uncrowded much of the time, the flat, grass-covered lawns provide the ideal room for laying…More »
5. Dolphin Market
My love for the neighborhood corner market runs deep. My love for corner markets like the Dolphin Market runs much deeper.
I'm sure everyone can recall the small mom & pop corner market where they grew up, how it held untold treasures behind…More »
6. The Whale & Ale
San Pedro, CA 90731
(310) 832-0363
Categories:
Pubs,
British,
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: San Pedro
When "whale" is used in a title, one tends to connote something of large or grand perspective.
You may wonder then if they'll ever open this place up to allow a tad more eating space for hungry diners. Without doubt, the "Whale" can get cramped with…More »
7. George's Greek Cafe
A light warm breeze fluttered up off the Aegean ruffling my hair and carrying with it traces of roasting meats, delicious spices and smog as I walked between the still-standing columns of the Parthenon and gazed down onto this ancient city of Athens…More »
8. Hilltop Park
Between the numerous gated communities, derricks still pumping black gold (Texas Tea that is), strollers, runners, teenage lovers and assorted riff-raff, one can find a little peace and quiet on this tiny spit of an inland island...a momentary bit of…More »
9. Shelter Surf Shop - CLOSED
Long Beach, CA 90814
(562) 439-0022
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing,
Sporting Goods
Great news! Graham is still in the surfing & music game, shaping boards under the name "Driftwood Caravan" and you can follow his work in Facebook.
If I can help you decide on a new board, let me just say the 5'9" Rocket Fish he made me shreds. You…More »

Here's an update I simply hate to write.
Shelter Surf Shop is no more (wipes tears from eyes). That's… Read more »
10. Bludso's BBQ
Securing the .50 cal from the sunroof-mounted Mercedes, I safed the weapon and locked it in the trunk while Jon dismounted and secured the perimeter. "All clear, Ms Z!" Cool, I thought, no gang bangers or ghetto hoodlums in sight. We'd driven right…More »
11. Rex's Cafe
San Pedro, CA 90731
(310) 519-7190
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: San Pedro
It's four-thirty a.m., still pitch black yet the cock crows aggressively and I welcome his advance. The rooster's up early today even though we've only had a few hours sleep since the party but he's proud, determined and well...cocky, and I don't…More »
12. Houston's
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
(310) 643-7211
Categories:
Steakhouses,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Manhattan Beach
Update 2 (last week)
Some yelpers can always be counted on and Jon is one of these. When you discuss good food with him, his eyes glaze over, spittle develops on his lower lip and barely discernable, tiny spasms rock his body*. And you know he'll be…More »

Maybe it's a "lunch vs dinner" thing but I used to work in the area and whenever I was in the mood… Read more »
13. Sunnin Lebanese Cafe - CLOSED
Heaven & Hell
Inexorably linked, one can't exist without the other and if you describe Heaven, you must describe Hell. And having trod the fiery, rocky roads of Hell before, I've learned to appreciate the silken coolness of Heaven's halcyon paths.…More »
14. Bouchees Bistro - CLOSED
Hello, the Yelp Contrarian here...en garde!
If I were to tell my mid-west peeps I paid $3.25 for a "burger" the size of my compact case, they'd laugh me all the way back to So Cal. My mom would disown me and my dad, were he alive, would say "Girl,…More »
15. Black's Beach
"Well down on the beach,
"Where nobody goes,
"There's Surfer Joe,
"Without no clothes..."
That song, written decades ago, was probably penned about Black's. It certainly doesn't apply today as it seems all of San Diego now goes here: "Well down on the…More »
16. Bellflower Veterinary Hospitals
Closed on Wednesday? Hmm, okay, I can work around that.
Ignoring the ubiquitous odor of urine and the stains lining the walls as you approach the front door, this place really takes a personal interest in my little personal interest...my min-pin,…More »
