Local Artist’s Work at El Dorado Nature Center at El Dorado Nature Center Museum

July 6, 2013 to July 31, 2013
Long Beach artist Timothy Bulone’s work will hang at the El Dorado Nature Center here beginning Saturday, July 6. Bulone creates each of his images by starting with a digital photograph, then using a variety of computer programs to render them into art that is “more representational, more evocative, and more revelatory” than the original photo, he says. "Digital art sounds much too cold to me. I think of it as photographic art and of myself as an artist working in photography. I am so thankful…See More

Legendary V.I.P. World Famous Records Closes Shop

It's seems like times are definitely changing. Not sure if it's for the good or bad or whatever. But definitely, the closing of the world famous V.I.P. record store is in my opinion, another defeat in Long Beach's small business scene. For those who don't know (which I hope aren't many of you CIty Lifers), V.I.P. is home to many old school hip hop videos that featured Warren G, Snoop, Nate Dogg, and more. Remember this video?     To be…See More

I don't think I have a story of unemployment, but it's a great fear of mine. I don't have a great education, but I can't afford to invest in a future that might not be there. I will be going back to school but I'm not going to quit my job and school is not a goal but a back up...in many ways

Video is a surprise and somehow refreshing. I love being mad.

Yeah that fear can sometimes feel like a sharp sword poking you in the back...

I truly hope today's Summit was successful and our city leaders will work together instead of back biting each other. Blessings to you and your family Councilman Neal. You truly get it!

Hopefully, some good results come from this. Many people are going through job changes.

One guy on the pane brought up a good point about others saying our youth don't want to work. Particularly those getting out of high school. Like they don't want to work at McDonald's or fast food spots, but he said that's not the case, because mom and dad now have those jobs...
