Driving in Long Beach, California ( in the neighborhoods ) Part 1

[@Darkwolfe.]

Thank you for the tour. I was born in Long Beach on Dawson in 1949 in Sea Side Memorial HOSP. and my son was born in Long Beach Memorial Hosp. I remember the Pike and pier point landing, and went to school at Clara Barton, and Robert E. Lee I Lived in Carmelitus, and Truman Boyd Manor, Then we moved to Compton in 55 then back to Long Beach on 16th and Temple. I moved out of Long Beach in 1979 to Texas and have never been back, now I am 67 and can't travel so this tour is great for me.

[@randyneilson7465]

I lived at 150 Truman Boyd Manor from '56 to '59 and stayed on the West Side at 2810 Baltic Ave. until '70 when I went to college. Love LB and still have a brother and a lot of friends there. Went to Stephens Jr. High and Poly ('69)

[@johnjones8990]

Long Beach looks hella beautiful

[@carlosflores4380]

It really is. This isnt even a ghetto but it is a gang warzone. Its wierd in LA

[@matthezw8280]

Ain’t nothin like the eastsideee, love my city 💙♿️

[@NostalgiaVibes420]

I've never been to the LBC and I'm in love with the palm trees 🌴 California❤️

[@marcusalexander3985]

eaaaastsiiide. Long Beach has so many areas, Bixby, Signal hill, Los Altos, Belmont shore... I miss it dearly.

[@constancehuebert3001]

Thanks for the tour. The LBC is my hometown. Sad to see Christmas tree lane is gone. Went to Washington Jr. Hi, wasn't middle school then. One of these days you should cruise the 90813!

[@Hoodhistorian562]

Constance Huebert you're welcome, I will do more ! I live in 908013 now do ohh yes

[@constancehuebert3001]

8th and Chestnut! 30 years, great memories! Miss it a lot.

[@Hoodhistorian562]

Constance Huebert my favorite corner in LONG BEACH IS 10TH AND LONG BEACH

[@constancehuebert3001]

10th and Long Beach Blvd. was Vons on the north west side. Don't remember what was on the other corners. Remember Vons coz my mom shopped there. Most times I would sit in the car and wait while she shopped. Not a good idea anymore! And they always had whole pig heads at the meat counter..creepy!

[@josephmurrill3644]

If you remember back in the 80s and 90s this residential area was off the hook.

[@stevesaavedra3609]

Grew up in the early 70s I went to Washington jr high! That’s where I learned to play trumpet. I loved Long Beach and some of the best friends of my life… thank for sharing and God bless 💫

[@markransome7052]

thank you so much, my sister from the UK who I have lost touch with for so long lived at 1510 East Harding Street in the late 80's the tour is great coz its shows me where she was. Thanks Mark R

[@larrymee1484]

good video. unlike others you showed true LB, rather a deceptive video only capitalizing on areas such as Ocean Blvd. Great commentary by the way. I love Long Beach till the day I die. Also by the way, though I'm sure you learned your lesson, never leave your car unlocked, no matter what area of Long Beach you are in. Lol i got the steering wheel lock for a reason, just as any other smart lb resident does hahaha

[@DatZortaw]

Cool to see how California is, hope to see it. Greets from.the Netherlands

[@spinmoney101]

Pretty much hit the spot on the commentary of Long Beach. Grew up in the north side but kicked it on the east side most of the time. Been getting active lately here. Live in Riverside now, can’t afford to buy a house even in the hood of Long Beach lol! Great memories here

Its odd how much a neighborhood can change over the span of 20 years. I always have loved going to Long Beach, Im from a San Diego coastal city called Chula Vista and there are so many similarities. Thank you for this video.

[@josephmurrill8530]

Every time I watch this video and you make a right turn off of Hill Street and on to Locust Ave and go past where I used to live..... I be wanting to cry. I miss that apartment I lived in.

[@ChillaxingZone]

I loved the ride along with you fam. I too was born and raised in Long Beach and raised on the 3astside. I have so many stories on the times I grew up here. Your commentary was cool and on point for those of us that really know these streets. You were absolutely right about there are a lot of hard working people in the hood. Most times though, it's overshadowed by the mischievous behavior of the knuckleheads. Good job!

[@Hoodhistorian562]

I went to Burnett school in the late 70’s and lived at 2380elm. Bright white redhead boy you can imagine. I’ve seen several bouncing cars built in that alley by our Latin friends. You almost drove by my old house.

[@ruthanncutler551]

Thanks for the memories. 1985, I had my first knee surgery at the hospital on Mag and 21st. And I went to Washington Jr and went on to Wilson in 84. I live on 10th and Virginia Court, behind the two story Victorian.

[@viewsfinefromhere]

Thanks for your vid! So so many memories! Born at St. Mary's in the late 50s, lived on the West Side off Santa Fe in Navy Housing during the 60s, went to Muir and Stephens, then moved to Wrigley, Spring St (30th) and Daisy, 90806. Walked to Washington Jr High and my great Alma Mater Poly High every day. Used to pass Burnett library coming home. A great neighborhood! Graduated at the Convention Center, used to watch all the great 70s bands and eat at Marios Pizza after. Got married, moved to Locust behind Vons right next to that big Baptist Church parking lot. Eldest son born at Memorial, later moved to Pacific Ave a block from Anaheim, worked one day at the 7 Seas bar. Lots and lots of great memories! The ocean! The Pike! Horny Corny! The Gran Prix! The view from Signal Hill before all those condos! And the block parties on Cherry! The people, every single one was great! Miss LBC!!

[@SaintLawrence777]

That's where I live..21st St....few doors up from Lewis. Neighborhood is pretty calm these days. Much better than back in the day.

[@josephmurrill3644]

I remember when I used to go in that corner store on hill and Long Beach blvd, I always went in there to get change for a dollar. I always kept saying I would buy something from there but I never did. At least the man was nice enough to give me change to ride on the car to go over to Fullerton.

I used to live up the street from the pacific Kingdom Hall. I want there. Stayed in those apartments up the street near 15th street zip code 90813. There were times I used to hear gunshots at night. That’s straight hood.

Hi guys wow what a big change for me, I was born at Long Beach Memoria Hospital, and live in Carmelita's PROJECTS back in the 1970s. I saw a lot of violence me and my family. I could tell stories about the Longos Gang. Bloods, Crips, and so on. I remember when Long Beach PD moved into the projects in the rec center and took over. Back in those days crime was real bad. Thanks man for the tour bro. I also went Clara Barton school, we then moved to 2161 Pasadena st. Lol all the fires back then wow it was crazy. I used to run with Fat Joe down stairs from me . . Steven and his brother Frazer they hung with Snoop Dog and know him to this day. They called me Jamie the white boy. In the up stairs apartment facing the street.

Long Beach was off the hook in the 80s and 90s. Now law enforcement don't play, you will get locked up if you stand on the corner if you not waiting on the car (the bus) on if you are not doing business with a store. 500 dollar fine if you are caught relieving yourself by 5-0. Now it's quiet and safer.

Ayo im born and raised in Philly but i live in Long Beach during my high school years. Ah man i loved Long Beach. I was privileged enough to be able to stay LBCs Belmont Bluffs.....I can remember Shoreline Village. Long Beach Mall...where the ladies hung. I remember The V.I.P Record Store & Studio. I remember going to Wilson High off 10th & Xemino.....i had to take the either 111 or 112 bus to school. I Remember playing ball on the courts school callex Horace Mann & Stevenson downtown. Long Beach had some of the sexiest girls on the West Coast. Because of my East Coast accent and my Pennsylvania swag i stay chicks numbers After my 4 years of high school i moved back to the East Coast but i still had my LBC memories.
