Feb. 15: City Council Meets, Long Beach Radio, Relay for Life

It’s a Tuesday in mid-February and guess what? After an unseasonably warm day Monday, today's forecast calls for temps topping out at the freezing point and high winds. But the sky will be sunny, so keep warm! Otherwise, here’s what you need to know today:

1. The Long Beach City Council meets at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Among the items on the agenda is a resolution authorizing the city manager to extend an existing agreement with the Town of Hempstead Department of Sanitation S.T.O.P. Program.

2.  Long Beach radio personality Halftime Howie will host his show “Broadcasting on the Beach” from 8 to 9 p.m. on AM 1240 WGBB. His guests include cast members of Long Beach High School’s musical production of Finian’s Rainbow, James Hodge of the Martin Luther King Community Center, Leo Beloylandis of Long Beach Chiropractic and Kevin Healy on what’s happening at the West End bars-restaurants.

3. Every Tuesday we post our feature 100 Things to Do in Long Beach. Where’s a place in Long Beach that droves of people visit during the summer — some of them obsessively — but almost all are never seen there during the cold months?
