@Kurt_Steiner There are affluent Millennials? Many other Millennials can easily help with said loneliness. And if not, happy to exchange a lack of home ownership with them..

@RealJayJeffery This is from 2020.

Thousands are now marching west on 3rd in Downtown Long Beach and north on Pine.

@Passionweiss You’re one of the few reasons I remain on this app.

@webcav1 It’s been 10 days and I have a few more. Been fuckin’ _wondrous_.

Hate this platform but how can I not share my camera’s love for Retro Row in Long Beach?

[Brian Addison @BrianAddisonLB]

@metrolosangeles This is actually LB.

@LAMetroBlueLine HA.

The underrated gem that is Nonna Mercato in Bixby Knolls is ready to go into full food service with its inaugural brunch menu—incl one of the best panzanellas & torchietti dishes I’ve ever had. https://t.co/3TWzNFtKfU

Downsizing of LB's live music scene has been detrimental. @LongBeachMayor's proposal for an amphitheater near @TheQueenMary isn't just serendipitous given Irvine just dismissed Live Nation's proposal but it's also perfectly reasonable _and_ achievable. https://t.co/J8BqgKAHRe

Over 32 restaurants participating in LB Food Scene Week—so wanted to offer up some of my favs. From a beautiful mole shipped directly from Oaxaca and the city's best wings to collab dishes and dinners where you learn to cook... https://t.co/slfl8Ph2kg

From birria lasagna to mixto de mariscos noodles, Chef Ulises Pineda-Alfaro's menu at El Barrio is not just a fine rep of Mexican-American influence on food but a reflection of why LB & LA are some of the world's richest culinary sectors—critics be damned https://t.co/OvwcwteyOC

Long Beach Food Scene is coming whether dissenters like it or not because our city’s culinary scene deserves to be uplifted. Period. 💅🏼💃🏻

City, state & federal gov depend on fatal crash data to determine which streets need investment to make them safer—and yet, nearly half of the ‘20 & ‘21 fatal crashes in LB are missing from state & federal data. Great piece from @coboms for @LONGBEACHIZE https://t.co/AI01GHr5nN

Playa Amor in LB shifted not just Mexican cuisine but the city’s cuisine overall, getting a glowing review from the late, great Jonathan Gold and landing on LA Times’s Best 101 Restaurants. Major bummer Chef Ortega is choosing to sell it. https://t.co/ZzacRGmlvV

I love stories of how people in Long Beach want to better connect their neighbors thru food—esp if that includes learning how to cook like chefs & escaping food bubbles. And Abbey Metcalf's Locali Seasoned does just that. https://t.co/Y1v45awUQv

Loootta news in my Food Intel:

- Otasan Sushi has permanently closed.
- Nothing Bundt Cakes will be taking over the former Polly's space on Los Coyotes.
- Gaucho Beach's full bar opens this Friday.

This and more... https://t.co/xsonvDXC3q

Been loving this collab with @VisitLB and @LONGBEACHIZE… This week I take you to the westside for one of my favorite spots: Filipino bake shop Gemmae, which has been serving West LB for over 30 years.

[Visit Long Beach @VisitLB]

Brian Addison from @Longbeachize is back with this week's edition of his favorite dishes in town!

This time he visits Gemmae Bake Shop, a Filipino bakery on the Westside of Long Beach with a 30-year history.

@livinpartofjake Dude, that's _rad_.

[Brian Addison @BrianAddisonLB]

You bet your ass I will be watching this horror flick. They wrapped up filming on the ship last year and I've been patiently waiting for the trailer to come out—and it actually looks decent. https://t.co/HwhvhMAQPY
