Why I Love Long Beach by Nancy Mueller
Long Beach California has a special place in my heart because I was born here ! There is something about this city that pulls at me to live , love , work and thrive in everything I do and because it ’ s centrally located in the heart of Southern California and is approximately 25 miles south of the city of Los Angeles , on the Pacific Ocean , it ’ s a great place to stay when you plan to visit California . Our temperature averages 74 degrees Fahrenheit year-round with about 345 average days of sunshine and was voted Number 2 out of the top 20 most diverse cities in America ! The city that brought you Snoop Dogg and motorcycle phenom Jesse James ranks highest of the top five in ethnic / racial / linguistic diversity .
There is so much to see and do in Long Beach and the restaurants range from sustainable organic fare to historic landmarks such as The Sky Room . Originally built in 1926 , The Sky Room was operated as the first West Coast Hilton . Long Beach is known for its sparkling waterfront , diverse architecture and film-friendly weather , and has been a popular location for filming television and movies , including recent features such as : Iron Man , Knight and Day , Transformers 2 and 3 and the latest Star Trek movie . The Queen Mary has been docked as the historic centerpiece in the Long Beach Harbor since 1967 and is now a floating Hotel , Attraction and Event & Wedding Venue , home to three world-class restaurants and an icon in Southern California . I love taking tourists to visit this amazing piece of our American history !
The Long Beach Airport ( LGB ) main terminal is a Cultural Historic Landmark and features historical exhibits throughout the airport . Built in 1941 , it was an avant-garde work of architecture for its time , and is still a unique building in the City of Long Beach . If you are flying into California ( or up and down the coast ) be sure to check the LGB flights because this is the easiest airport to get in and out of !
