City/town information
From LAist (https://laist.com/2015/08/13/39_things_we_love_about_long_beach.php)
We'll just say it: Long Beach is underrated. It's just far enough away from Los Angeles to feel a little bit more relaxed, cheaper and friendlier. But it's just close enough to be an easy day trip (or to ponder moving there for good). It's rich in arts, culture and music, and there are plenty of unique festivals held there all year long to keep you coming back. It has its own unique vibe. Long Beach seems to welcome people from all walks of life, and it's home to a diverse LGBT scene, rockabilly fans and comic book nerds. As in Los Angeles, it's all about finding your own village. If all you know about the seventh largest city in California is that it's the home of the Queen Mary and huge ports, read on to learn more.

Neighborhood highlights
Take a stroll: A long-term revitalization effort on Atlantic Avenue, the neighborhood’s shopping and dining strip, has paid off by creating a vibrant, walkable main drag for Bixby Knolls.
California history: The Bixby Knolls-adjacent Virginia Country Club may be exclusive, but anybody can drive through its gates to visit the old Rancho Los Cerritos adobe, with the home and grounds maintained to look as they did during the 1870s. The country club sits just steps away from Bixby Knolls’ west border, according to the Los Angeles Times Mapping Project.
Travel options: Area real estate agents may not mention it, but Bixby Knolls’ proximity to two freeways and the Long Beach Airport makes commuting and traveling more convenient.

Breweries/Bars
Look for a wide range of steadily rotating interesting beers that could possibly include everything from an elegant strawberry saison to more a impactful coconut stout. Come with a dog, come with a friend, or come and order pizza from next door. I recommend doing all three: dog-friend-pizza.

So far, the biggest claim to fame of Liberation Brewing Company, is that their founder, Dan Regan, was the trombonist in the ska band Reel Big Fish (they had a hit song called "Beer"). But, that’s not the only reason to visit this brewery located in the Bixby Knolls area of Long Beach. Brewer Eric McLaughlin makes a solid lineup of ales and lagers like a cream ale, an amber ale, and various IPAs.
