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!
