    A historical landmark, close & free to visit…read more Originally part of the ancestral village of Povuun'nga, the traditional place of origin of the native Gabrielino-Tongva people of the Los Angeles Basin, named Rancho Los Alamitos when the land was conceded to Manuel Nieto, and finally to Fred & Florence Bixby, whose children donated the family ranch to the City of Long Beach in 1968. To enter, visitors proceed to the Bixby Hill residential security gate at the intersection of East Anaheim Road and Palo Verde Avenue. Entrance is strictly at 1pm, as the guard will not allow entrance prior to that. Operating hours are 1pm - 5pm Wed - Sun. Initial visit, the barn area w/ the livestock was closed off due to a water main break. Tours of the Adobe Ranch is via a docent-led tour, which can be made at the Rancho Center. No photography is permitted. Tom was the docent, and he was quite knowledgeable of the history of Rancho Los Alamitos, allowing passage into each room on the first floor. Second floor was closed to visitors. My favorite room was the kitchen, as I marveled at the various appliances, such as the still operational refrigerator, with the condenser on top, instead of bottom. Also, the heavy, built to last stove, which probably served a countless number of meals for the family & staff working the ranch. There were a few objects which were available to touch, such as an early proto version of a View-Master. The cherry on top of the Adobe Ranch visit was pulling the rope attached to the dinner bell, signifying everyone to "come & get it!". The handsome, well-maintained garden landscape surrounding the property provides natural beauty & plenty of photo opportunities. Second visit was more fun, as the barn & livestock areas were open to the public, again! Preston, a magnificent Shire horse, towers over almost all visitors, and stuns with his majestic beauty. In the world record books, a Shire horse named Sampson is the largest recorded horse ever, at 7' 2.5" tall & 3,360 lbs. Not to be outdone, Fred the donkey bombastically greets people with his hee-haws. A few rescue horses, sheep & a coop full of chickens provided plenty of enjoyment. A pleasurable afternoon can be had at Rancho Los Alamitos. Visitors gaze back in time upon a working ranch, experience how things were built to stand the test of time, opposed to planned obsolescence of most machinery & appliances, today. Visiting Preston, Fred & the other animals, alone, is worth the drive. I look forward to coming back & I highly recommend giving Rancho Los Alamitos a visit.

Laid out in a semi circle are stone markers listing their names on bronze plaques. 52 submarines were lost in World War ll. On this day, April 10, a somber anniversary, 50 years since the USS Thresher, a nuclear-powered submarine, sank off the coast of Cape Cod, MA in 1963 killing all 129 people aboard. The Thresher sailed 220 miles off Cape Cod to start deep diving test. Accompanied by the support ship USS Skylark. Once there, Thresher starts its descent with a target of 1,000 feet, 30 minutes later, they reach 1,000 feet without incident. 45 minutes later, a pipe apparently ruptures, flooding the engine room and causes electrical and power failures. The sub grows heavier from the flooding and sinks. The Skylark detects a high-energy, low-frequency noise with characteristics of an implosion. The sonar registers the sound of Thresher breaking apart. All 129 officers, crewmen and civilian technicians were presumed dead. On April 11, the Navy officially declared the sub lost. On April 12, president John Kennedy issued executive order 11104 paying tribute to the crew of Thresher by flying flags at half-staff. The only other US nuclear sub to sink was the USS Scorpion in 1968, 99 killed. Reason for sinking is unknown. Nov. 2012, the US submarine veterans, an organization of 13,800 members (all former submariners) asked the US Navy to reopen the investigation of the sinking of the USS Scorpion. As one former submariner said "We refer these submarines as being on eternal patrol".

    100% worth a stop. Turn left before the guard shack and park. Thank you for your service veterans!read more

Skinny House is literally that- a very skinny house located on the corner of 7th and Gladys Ave in Long Beach. You'll almost always see people driving or walking by to take a few snapshots of it. I couldn't believe how skinny it was the first time I drove by it. It is in a residential area, so it's best to either drive by or walk by it. Good luck finding parking here...as anyone will tell you, we'll, those who are from Long Beach...as it is impossible to find a parking spot anywhere in this city! So yeah, check this place out whenever you want. Pretty cool landmark...one of many in Long Beach. Beats the heck out of me if anyone lives in it! I can only imagine the possibilities...

If you're into architecture, it's cool to see if you are in the area. I am and left wanting to get my hands on it. Lol. It's a landmark, but I didn't see a plaque. Personally, I'd open my doors and show and tell :-) It's kinda shocking how wide it is (or isn't ;-)). I held my arms open and felt I was the same length.
