One of the places I most found myself going on and on about was the Long Beach Museum of Art. Now, I know I’m not much of a museum person, but this one was really special– mainly because of their current exhibition Vitality and Verve: Transforming the Urban Landscape. Perfectly timed with POW! WOW! Long Beach, a festival […]

I guess since we really only get a few weeks of great weather here, we have to make up for it by packing it all in come summertime. On any given week you can find at least four festivals going on. My favorite […]
