Big Changes in Long Beach

Not so many years ago, a weekend in Long Beach might be regarded as punishment. With the build up on the vacant lots where the Pike used to be, Long Beach has a lot to do right on the water. New restaurants and attractions make Long Beach a great destination. I was shocked because none of this was there three years ago and the land had been vacant for decades. The action spreads north on Pine Street with restaurants and building restorations as good as you see in San Diego's Old Town.
