Man, Long Beach looks so much like DTLA now! But the thing I wonder is if they're building so many lofts, where's everybody gonna work? :eek2:

What is DTLA?

DTLA = Downtown Los Angeles

DTLA = Downtown Los Angeles

Thanks. I understsnd. :)

great pics. Looking good for long beach. i especially like the first pic and the one with the Aqua? buildings.

I'm interested to see how LB will tie the Pike together with the rest of DTLB. From my understanding, DTLB still needs more mixed-use development to make it more pedestrian friendly along those large stretches of condomiums. .. Kinda reminds me of the Wilshire Corridor in Westwood with the high-rise condos.

All in all, LB looks good! I feel like LB is to LA what Oakland is to the Bay Area.

Seeing these pics reminds me why I love LA so much. I have such a huge art-deco fetish. :D

They should link Long Beach with San Pedro using the red car already in operation. That would be awesome. Long Beach is looking much different in recent years. I can't wait to see what other changes occur!

Wow ! That's a far cry from the Long Beach I visited ten years ago.

BTW, what do tennis shoes dangling from an overhead wire mean ? I see that a lot in Orlando too. Is it just a fashionable prank ?

That's a REALLY old thing. Back in the 90s, they usually meant the area coming up was a bad area. Or at least what the gangs around the area thought. But they're probably just wiggers in Orlando doing it, I haven't seen them since 1999.

It used to mean that whoever's shoes they were, that means that that person was killed/died.

That first pic is beautiful. I definately have to make a stop in LBC next time I am in LA. My family usually takes me to the same spots.
