Born and raised in LA and moved to LB to have my kids 12 years ago. I love it here. Everyone here is real and kind. After the riots happen here, everyone was out there cleaning up and helping the shop owners put up wood in their broken windows and thats the sort of people that are here.

My family moved from Inglewood to Long Beach because it was a calm and safe place during the 80's/90's when crack was running rampant. Yeah, they had some shady areas but for the most part it was good family living. You could walk down the street almost anytime of the day or night and not get pressed. Long Beach was nothing like South Central or Compton back in the day. Hell, one of my classmates at Poly was Cameron Diaz. lol.

I moved from the HD to the IE and went to CSULB in 2000 and lived in long beach till 2006 on Magnolia and 6th street (South West Long Beach) which is North Pine and east village right around the corner from Poly High and the eastside. I got to know the Cambodian's, SOS, rolling 20's, Insane, Baby Insane. The Eastside Longo's used to bang on me all the time lol but never did anything just flashed signs on me lol I'm too big 6'3 250lbs.... I love Long Beach, My family lived in LB in the 80's and 90's and spent summers in LB when I would come up from the HD. My brother graduated from CSULB in 98. I used to go to block parties and House parties in the mid 90's as a 8th grader and used to witness the crips getting down on a regular basis mostly Insane and Insane ran Long Beach. Rolling 60s before Nipsey was even relevant used to come to our campus parties, frat parties, house parties and bang on everybody. 60's used to come down and pick on all of the LB Gangs. I had friends who went to Long Beach Jordan on the North Side but you never really heard about the North, it was mentioned alot and peopel from the North would claim it but alot of people from Compton were always in long beach.
