I guess that chicken is worth killing over or something. I asked the cop if he was the one speeding and he said "mind your business" and "let's go" like he was going to fight me. $50 per hour behavior. Also one officer arrested my black coworker on charged that got dropped. Yes I think it was racist. I had to do a 12 hour shift because he was jailed. I think they arrest people because they don't like them sometimes. Otherwise, these officers are usually very professional. They'll absolutely shut down a situation where punches are flying and they're very good at that. Bad lead foot though.

I had an extremely frustrating and unfair experience with parking enforcement in Huntington Beach…read more Back in July, I did pay for parking. I only had cash, so my friend paid the $23 parking fee for me. Unfortunately, when entering my license plate number, he was off by one letter. When we returned to my car, I found a $58 parking ticket -- despite the fact that parking had been paid for. This was clearly an honest, verifiable mistake, not an attempt to avoid paying. At the time, I planned to resolve it the next time I was in the area. However, I live nearly 45 miles away, and life got in the way. When I later went to register my car, I discovered there was now a DMV hold, and the ticket had increased to $83. I immediately contacted the police department, explained that parking had been paid and that the issue was a one-letter license plate error. I was told there was nothing that could be done because I didn't contest it within 21 days -- even though the ticket was issued under incorrect circumstances. When I asked to see a judge, I was told that option was "no longer available" and that my only choice was to pay. No review. No discretion. No accountability. This doesn't feel like enforcement -- it feels like extortion. A system that acknowledges no human error and provides zero recourse after an arbitrary deadline is fundamentally unfair. Holding someone's DMV registration hostage over a paid parking mistake is excessive and unreasonable. I'm incredibly disappointed in how rigid and dismissive this process is, and I hope the city seriously reconsiders how situations like this are handled.

I was here in Long Beach watching the news and getting ready for school when I watched as the second plane hit the 2nd tower. That memory has been with me since. While on a weekend trip to san diego we visited the air and space museum and were surprised to see a cruiser on display that was actually at ground zero! When I got back I thought to myself "I wonder if there's other artifacts that I can see around town". A quick search showed that there were pieces of steel from the towers here. So on 9/11 of last year, we drove out here to see the memorial and have a moment of silence for the victims. The memorial is located at the bottom of the staircase in a pentagon shaped base and honors all lost in the towers, flights as well as first responders. In the center stands a steel beam that was part of WTC donated by NYC Fire and Police. It's quite surreal seeing an object from that dark day in history.

It's a stunning outdoor minimalist sculpture garden intended as a representation of the various geographical characteristics of the state of California as a whole. It was created by famous sculptor and landscape architect Isamu Noguchi, completed in 1982 and it sits very close to the world famous South Coast Plaza. It is a tranquil oasis nestled amongst freeways and tall buildings, and if you read the plaques properly, one of them states that its actual name is "California Scenario". The same plaque states that it is "an abstract metaphor of California's diverse natural environment". All 5 sections are wonderful and walking or just sitting here and soaking in the calmness can give you a much needed break from the fast pace of life here in SoCal.
