About the location.... go back 25-30 years ago..... We are in Long Beach taking a test to be adoptive parents.... we get sent to THIS building to do some interviews. At the time, it was occupied by State and local bureaucrats of all types. Location is 1 block form the ocean, and in a neighborhood that is best described as ... bad. The back side ( which goes down, maybe 2 stories, is full of tattoo parlors and 15 cent beer bars.... It was a Navy dock town, with attendant "entertainment". Neighborhood has gotten a lot better in the past 5-8 years. Still not a place to go walking around after sundown.....especially with a fancy camera....The building also looks better with a coat of paint... Yes, we got our little darling... I have a lot of emotions about this building, not all of them good. But that is a story for another day.....
