    "I like my neighborhood, 8th and redondo is perfect, it’s quiet rarely loud, a lot of dog parents and older folks, random stragglers but nothing scary or unordinary, I’m from LA and this part of Long Beach is kind of the suburbs with streets like 4th 2nd and Redondo that you can walk down and go do social things and go home right around the corner and it’s back to quiet.
