Daikokuya Ramen. This is one of the most notable on this list. Its a Whole in the wall ramen spot that packs a punch! If you’re looking for some real authentic food this is the spot for you. Great tasting broth & even better toppings. Daikokuya Ramen is textbook ramen spot that you can’t go wrong with. They’re known for their egg chatsu and they’ll be more than generous with your portions.

Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen. This spot is a personal favorite of mine for a couple of reasons. One They have amazing service– They’ve been known to handle larger groups and a fast pace. They have world famous Hakata Ramen and their Udon is really good as well, Both are made fresh daily so you know you’ll be getting a top quality ramen. Much like Daikokuya Ramen, Shin-Sen is also known for giving out large portions of food.

Tatsu Ramen. I’ll be honest the name alone just screams “popular”. Tatsu Ramen is likely to be the most notable on the list which is pretty amazing cause they’ve held up as far as food quality is concerned. Tatsu is one of the best ramen spots in Los Angeles. The biggest complaint amongst ramen goers typically has to do with the saltiness of the broth – Tatsu doesn’t have this problem, the food is flavored to perfection. They also have customized ordering so you leave or add whatever you’d like to your order.

The city of Long Beach has officially Reduced the speed limits around its city. Back in December of last year City Council voted to reduce the speed limits of over 100 streets within a 92 Mile Radius. Streets with a 37.7 mile radius will have a reduced speed limit of 20mph or less.

City Council believes that lowering the speed limits will help promote public safety where there are higher levels of retail and dining. Back in 2020 Long Beach proposed an action plan called Vision Zero, an an initiative to reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries to zero by 2026.

Developers Take first step in $1Billion Reconstruction of the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall. It breaks my heart every time I walk through the deserted mall that holds many of my childhood memories. From holiday pictures with black santa, shenanigans in Walmart, running around Sears with my cousins and being dragged around Macy’s for hours to catch semi-annual sales. I genuinely feel like the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall or what we call The Crenshaw Mall deserved more effort. After the long winded two year contingent sale, Capri Capital Partners finally settled on a $140 Million purchase from Harridge Development Group. The Harridge Development Group has taken steps to fulfill their $1Billion redevelopment project and recently submitted requests to LA City Planning to begin construction at 4005 Crenshaw Blvd in Los Angeles, CA 90008. This redevelopment would stretch right after what was Macy’s on the corner of Crenshaw and MLK Blvd. to Crenshaw and 39th.
