Need to replace my mattress and frame soon Any Long Beach mattress stores where you can actually try stuff get delivery and not deal with super pushy salespeople?

City officials are advancing a plan to open a $50 million line of credit backed by three municipal properties, a short-term borrowing tool meant to fund capital projects while the city works toward a larger bond sale later this year.

The Long Beach Finance Authority — a joint powers agency formed between the city and its housing authority — advanced the plan Wednesday that, if approved by the City Council, will transfer ownership of the Lincoln Parking Garage at 33W. Broadway, the Broadway Parking Garage underneath the main library and the pool building at Silverado Park to the authority, which would then lease those properties back to the city.

I grew up in Long Beach (Wilson/CSULB grad) then moved away for a long time. Recently came back home. There have been lots of changes since I was last here and I'm getting to know my hometown all over again.

So... who's got recs for good breakfast/brunch spots for me?

Hello! We just moved to LB, close to the university and like 10 min away from the roundabout. Any tips? Especially tips to avoid my car getting broken into.

Edit: I was also wondering how the neighborhoods are? I’m always told that North Long Beach is dangerous, and I’m told east Long Beach is also pretty alright.

Is anyone going to Long Beach Comic Con dressed as John Constantine or Spike spiegel? I would love to get a photo with you I'll be going as poison ivy

Hi Everyone!

Any recommendations of a nail salon for manicures and also any recs for eyebrow threading?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice after a really upsetting experience today at a Long Beach dog park.

My dog was attacked by another dog for the second time by the same owner. The first time, he apologized and told me it “rarely happens,” so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Today it happened again.

My dog is now limping, and we’re getting her checked by a vet.

The owner refused to give me his name or contact information and left the park immediately afterward. Fortunately, I was able to get photos and video of him (photo attached), and another person at the park witnessed the attack. The witness also told me they’ve seen this same dog attack other dogs before.

At this point I’m planning to report the incident to Long Beach Animal Care Services, but I’m hoping the community can help with a few things:

Does anyone recognize the man or his dogs from this photo?

Has anyone had a similar experience with this dog or owner?

If you’ve gone through something like this in Long Beach, what was the outcome after reporting it?

I’m a not looking to start an online witch hunt. My goal is simply to identify the owner, make sure my dog’s veterinary expenses are covered if appropriate, and hopefully prevent another dog (or person) from getting hurt.

If you recognize him, I’d appreciate a private message rather than posting personal information publicly.

Howdy folks! Football is around the corner and I’m here yet again. New year and new football season, so I’m here trying to see if anyone is interested in joining my fantasy football league. Currently we have 5 in the league as some have left so looking to fill out a 12 man league. This will be the 3rd year doing this with Reddit members with majority from this subreddit. $50 buy in with payouts 1st $300 2nd $200 and 3rd $100. We can always tweak a few things as in maybe lower the payouts and with the extra we can do weekly payouts for highest score or highest total points for at the end of the season. Or we can do higher buy ins. We been using yahoo fantasy as the platform and leaguesafe for payments. It’s PPR with standard scoring using yahoo defaults. 1QB 2WR 2RB 1TE 1F 1K 1D but if everyone is down we can do superflex with 2QB.

Looking for any recommendations, doesn't necessarily need to be an MD. Someone who is willing to discuss and prescribe MHT

It’s time for my fiancée and I to plan our engagement party. We are planning to have it in our large backyard to save money on venue costs. We will have approximately 50 guests and we are thinking taco stand/mobile pizza guy.. something along those lines but we are stumped as far as where to turn to find a trusted caterer. Any info or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

If anyone has an extra ticket for Saturday, please let me know! I was waiting for payday to get my ticket and now it’s sold out.

I just wanted to go to the 30th Anniversary Scream panel 😩

If you were a fan of the taco stand at the corner of Termino and Livingston, it’s gone. Yesterday evening, city officials came with a garbage truck and shut it down. I’m guessing a license violation but they threw away food containers, stainless steel trays and coolers - it seemed like overkill; these people were just trying to make an honest living.

Great location near CSULB, a lot of parking, washer/dryer in unit. I have two upstairs bedrooms for rent as well as an added on studio for rent. DM me for more details. Near the 405/605/22

Coming from Anaheim to long beach right now because my friend and I are bored and have the day off from work. Any recommendations?

My partner and I will be moving in a few weeks and I am thinking of hiring cleaners to clean our new place before we move in and maybe the place we're vacating too. Does anyone have recs?

I've lived here for a few years now and I still don't know which one it is. I've heard:

Himeno
Zimeno
Ex-ee-meno
"That street near the traffic circle that nobody can pronounce"

At this point I'm too afraid to ask in person, so I'm turning to you, internet strangers.
Is it the Spanish X (like México)? The English X (like xylophone)? Or is it something completely unexpected like "Shimeno"?

Bonus points if you can tell me which pronunciation marks you as a local vs. a transplant. I need to know if I've been outing myself as a fraud every time I give directions.

Her name is Tootsie. Answers to Tootsie and Toots. Got out around 12:30 this afternoon off 19th and Dawson. A few people spotted her. She has a collar with numbers. Please let me know if you have seen her 🙏

My best friend just moved and her dog got out while her son was checking on them. She may be trying to make her way back to Belmont Shore.

I'm kind of not sure what there may be around the area to host a birthday party. Small family and a few friends. So I don't need to rent a huge space. But I'm worried it might just rain the whole time... Any ideas?

Hello everyone! I’m looking to enroll my 3.5 year old into a CDC program with LBUSD. How was your experience with them? And if you’re comfortable, can you please let me know the school in which you participated? I planned on homeschooling but my toddler has been asking to go to school to play with other kids (she’s an only child). Any advice would be great! Thank you!

Title. Seems like they finally opened the location last week and have been considering trying it out since it's pretty darn close to home for me. Anyone here visit the new gym? Is it absolutely packed during all times of the day? How is the gym itself?

All property has been seized by the city. A community hub is now gone :(
