The 4th St. Deli has many fans on Yelp (http://www.yelp.com/biz/4th-street-deli-long-beach) who recommend this delicatessen for a fast and tasty meal. One reviewer stated: “… Just one word: AMAZING. Best sandwich shop I've ever been to! Not only is the food great, but the customer service is off the hook!! The owner is very friendly and knows how to treat a customer. Everyone that I've taken here has had the same reaction as me. …Don't wait. Go now!”
Ms. Lewis is a self-taught artist whose talent developed in the mid-90s. Since moving to Long Beach in 2008, she has participated in numerous group and solo shows and regularly displays her work at the downtown Long Beach 2nd Saturday Art Walk. Her original watercolors are currently featured at El Dorado Nature Center throughout the month of June and she will be on site on July 26 from 11-2 with her printed items.
“Since I started painting,” she said, “I have mainly been drawn to nature themes. Now that I live in Long Beach, I have enough inspiration to last a lifetime.”
