Was born in Long Beach and spent the first 18 years of my life growing up there. My parents still live there and I'm usually in that area at least once or twice a month. Couldn't tell you where the hot spots are anymore, where abouts in LB are you anyhow?

What cross streets do you live at? I live in Lakewood, but I lived in Carson before. You should check out Rick & Ronnies in Torrance on Fridays. I don't have an LSx car, but I have a 72 Chevelle with a 454.

Yes, my Chevelle is red. Have you seen it before? If so, where at? That'll be odd since I don't drive it and it's in a garage with a car cover.

BTW I live on Paramount and Carson.
