So, is Long Beach to LA what Oakland is to San Francisco? Underappreciated, overlooked gem? According to the owners of the B&B I stayed at, it is. And I have to agree. Too bad I didn't get to see as much as I'd like between shuttling my sister and mom between UCLA campus tours and Disneyland. Anyway, I give you Long Beach, California's fifth largest city!

My B&B....the Turret House







Very good place to eat!
