Learning Life 
Again, by titles only, I know only half… the new wave stuff and “Freaks Come Out At Night”. I’ll listen to the others later and prob know them all.
In the 90s I attended an extremely crowded event (think pre-Coachella and indoors) and got heat stroke. It hit at 1:30am, just as the crowded event closed all bars – including sales of bottled water (for a party running till 4am!). I rushed out of the club, threw up in a trash can, debated drinking pool water, then walked around the hotel grounds fully freaking out and telling myself, “don’t lay down or they’ll take you out on an ambulance!” It was awful but I eventually cooled down and managed to walk back to my hotel.
With my bad knees & fat, the combo of pain & heat also caused me to nearly black out at the last 2 standing I attended. Getting old SUCKS!!

We always what what we haven’t had in awhile!
It only hit 78 here today, thanks to an ocean breeze. Just 10 miles S, in Seal Beach, it only got to 68!!
Another effect of Long Bch’s weather bubble is that we get hotter than most beaches. The second the wind stops, our temp will jump.

It looks like the local whale watching tours may have reopened. If so, I’ll go out on the water!
The kayak rental place is in The OC, which is nearly completely reopened but kayaking automatically involves social distancing. I should look into that too!

Nice – be careful though
We are open around here now. A few things are still closed but we are opening quite quickly.

Long Beach is part of LA County, which still has numbers too high to reopen. The Whale Watching email confused me but they might just be doing PR in prep for opening soon.

It was maybe 5 years ago? Stayed at the Hyatt was incredible!! People so laid back and yup loved it!!
Was incredibly beautiful and the weather was perfect ❤️

Oh, yeah… The Hyatt and the hotel next to it are both great!
I used to drive down for Fri craft stands and drinks at Dukes. Dukes has a webcam… shots of the beach without humans were pretty spectacular!!
I also used to take PCH home once in awhile to enjoy the view of the ocean. Hitting the red light at the N end of the city was great cause I could smell, hear, and see crashing waves. The a few feet further it smells of nightime bonfires. GREAT city.

Yeah…. Ruby’s on the pier! I think it’s the only pier location of that chain that’s still open (and I’m not even sure it is). The best burger of my life was a Ruby’s “blues burger” that I ate on a super cold night standing at the end of Balboa pier!

Yes it was very good!! It was still in operation when we went. That pier is so beautiful!! I believe we saw dolphins? Definitely surfers lol
Where is Balboa pier?
LikeLike
Balboa is a few miles (10?) south of Huntington… really part of Newport Beach. Used to be a packed go-to with great bars, restaurants, shops, a teeny amusement park (basically a carousel & 2 popular arcades, and a 4-car ferry that took you across the channel… you could ride as a pedestrian for 10cents so we used to do that… simply riding it across and back. Now it’s a ghost town. Really really sad. I don’t know what happened because it’s still beautiful and high priced housing. In the… 90s??? The started clamping down on cruising… but did so poorly, so the last time I tried to go, I was stuck in a lane that didn’t let me get into the parking lot. Police said if I came through again, I’d be ticketed. Since they were located before the parking lot turn, there was nothing for me to do but drive back home.
I think the residents wanted less traffic but in the process they also drove out all the businesses and the area never recovered.
I just checked Yelp and, assuming they survive C19 business loss, the Ruby’s on H Bch pier is still open. The beach was reopened a week ago but I don’t know about the pier.

Oh wow!! I saw photos of Huntington Beach from the 60’s with oil wells and saw the history in Huntington Beach…
That’s too bad about Newport … those are really beautiful areas – I would assume the cost of housing in those areas is through the roof??
Oh I hope Ruby’s stays open – that place was awesome!!! ❤️

Newport Beach is still redonk popular. Just Balboa, which is a peninsula, lost it’s fun vibe.
Long Beach was also covered with oil wells. In fact, some headstones at the city cemetery sank because companies were illegally drilling in sideways to get the oil from under the cemetery! We currently have 5 near-shore oil wells that were built to look like islands. A couple have lights and waterfalls at night!
