The LBC

Yesterday, I wandered into Long Beach, onto East 4th Street and Junipero Avenue, a.k.a. "Retro Row," into vintage stores teeming with buffalo plaid and gingham dresses, into a new-to-me noodle shop where I sipped on lychee jasmine iced tea (what's with me and lychee these days?), into furniture shops boasting of bygone eras, and past the single-screen Art Theatre with its new marquee. And then, I traced Pacific Coast Highway, following its path south, on a clear stretch of road that hugged the ocean.
