Long Beach Patch seeks out, finds and features some of the more interesting homes throughout the city.

Long Beach is dotted with many homes that vary widely in architectural style, from Spanish to Tudor to Modern. So we at Long Beach Patch have worked to showcase this distinct feature of the city as a periodic part of our Viewfinder photo gallery.

We took snapshots of these homes during our travels through Long Beach’s many different neighborhoods because, for one reason or another, they captured our fancy.

Today's gallery features a lemon-colored home, a house with an orange awning, and dwelling with a long front porch.

So yeah I think we should be outraged at the City who allowed this to happen.And when this new scandel breaks wide open is everyone going to act so surprised? This is just the tip of the iceburg with this shelter & Rescue Ink.

some observations: one, applicable regulations for safety provide you cannot have mixed swimming…Read More and surfing beaches, so if the idea is to have both, you need to allocate. two, different beaches, because of bottom conditions, have very different waves -- ergo, the selection of beaches for surfing. three, on any given summer day with decent waves, and barely decent on a weekend, the number of surfers is dangerous. truly. I will not let my younger children surf/learn on those days. I won't even surf those days. four, on any given summer day, the number of people in the water, let alone actually swimming, is incredibly small in comparison to our total available beach real estate. five, as a general rule under this schedule, no swimmer should have to walk more than a few seconds to 2 minutes to be on a swimming beach. it is an allocation issue and not everyone is going to like the allocation, but that's often a part of the give and take of living in a community where resources are shared. folks who live near the train station have commuters parking in front of the their houses, sometimes with cars left for 2-3 days. similar for folks who live near the beach and can't get parking for themselves or at least their guests on a weekend. there are unbelievable issues with allocation of sports fields for practice and games. west-enders put up with bar traffic and a lot of other things. in any event, my two cents.
