Long Beach, California is my new home. I have met lots of wonderful people here and I would like to introduce you to the stores and businesses that some of them own and provide links to their websites. When you go to any of these people, please let them know that I recommended them to you — they will be pleasantly surprised.

A great chiropractor: Dr. Thomas Gallagher. His website is Gallagher Chiropractic & Sports Medicine Group.

Aqua — the condominiums where I live. (There's a few new ones left, if you're in the market for a new home near the beach.) Aqua Long Beach Penthouses and Condominiums.

John Garey Pilates Studio where I do my exercise. Personal trainer Joe Williams is tops!

The UPS Store – Downtown Long Beach is on Pine Ave. where you can send UPS shipments, as well as Post Office shipments, and rent mail boxes. Joe Bergin provides excellent service.

I discovered a fantastic frozen yogurt store on 4th and Park. It's called
Frogurtz. The yogurt is creamy and you get plenty for your money. And the owner, Susan Lapham, is a wonderful lady with a vision for a great store with a great product that she has turned into a reality. I am now a new, loyal customer! I highly recommend you check out this place. (Enter the parking lot as you are going south on Park.)

Lots of people own dogs in Long Beach — so they sometimes need a dog walker. Barney and Natalie are professional dog walkers and are great with all kinds of dogs. Give them a call at 562 726 9172 or look them up at Dogdo Dog Walkers.

I bought a lot of my furniture at Metropolitan Furniture on Long Beach Blvd. You can order online or go in for their design services and to shop from their catalogs. Don Phillips provided excellent service.

A wonderful lady named Pamela Foddrell has started the H.O.P.E. Foundation (Helping Others Prosper Economically). You can reach her at (562)983-8112 or (562)283-1506 to find out how you can contribute to economic prosperity in Long Beach.

A new contemporary art gallery has opened up in downtown Long Beach in the new promenade area (east of Pine Ave). It is called Spezzano – The Gallery.
