    "Dog friendly, but watch your step and don't be surprised by the stench. Street cleaners can't keep up, but even worse businesses/apartment complexes don't ever rinse their buildings to assist in keeping the city nice. "

    "I’ve worked in LA (South Bay Area) and now the OC. Long Beach is one of those magical places where it doesn’t matter which direction you take on the 405. Either way your drive is terrible."

    "It has dirty streets, with no parking space. A lot of people walk with their dogs, but few clean their poop. Trash around everywhere, also the street sweeping doesn’t work well, but they will give you a fine if you leave your car there. "
