It was a busy day in the Shore today. I shot some shots with my big camera and took some phone shots too. It was pretty uncomfortable. I haven't been down here in a long time. I grew up here and have been running around here since the sixties! It's changed a lot. Probably 99% of the old stores are gone. That's not unusual is it?
Maybe the worst thing is there is not one place to sit anymore. None. There is patio dining that is sort of out on the sidewalk that's pretty cool but no place to sit for free.
The photo above is from a parking lot. I was contemplating sitting on one of those cement parking blocks to rest a bit.
I didn't end up doing that Lol.
All these exotic palm trees are new! They seem to be going for a Sahara desert look ;)

Howdy sir rossfletcher! nice glimpse of your home town businesss district or one of them, I don't know how big your town is. That IS strange that there are no benches anywhere though.

I live in Long Beach California if you want to look it up. It's a good size city. The neighboring cities all just run together into a giant Southern California, Los Angeles sprawl.
They all been taken out and even the ledges in front of display windows i used to sit on are gone too.
It's a no pay, no rest today set up! haha

Howdy again sir rossfletcher! Well sir, as nice as the beach is I don't find much else appealing about the endless Los Angeles sprawl! Especially the traffic that we've heard about for years. I guess you can't live on the beach though!

It's a big place! I'm guessing i haven't been to many of the cities. Only driven by them. There's a lot of beautiful homes overlooking the beach. Can't put up a tent on the sand though unfortunately :)

Yeah I guess if we wanted a house on the beach we're at least a hundred years too late! I'm sure any home on the beach has a multi-million dollar price tag.

100 years ago would have been perfect! Any place you liked would have been doable. Oh man what a time that would have been. Many successful people had homes in places like Pasadena and then had smaller beach homes they would visit in summer. Nice little wood "shacks" right on the sand. If they got destroyed in a storm it wasn't a giant loss for them. Most of those are gone now. Torn down for big homes that are often just a big box.
