The Southern California Summer Pro League is a staple of summer basketball for the last 30+ years. Each year rookies from 5+ NBA teams and various free agents, tryouts etc. take their shot at the NBA.
The action is enjoyable and the desires of some of these players, who are not guaranteed NBA-money until their big break, is palpable. The star sighting is also entertaining.
The league operates in early July and tickets are $12 for a da (5 games), so plan on spending some time there.

No, really! It's impossible to not have a great view of the amazing shows put on here, from their full-scale musicals to their smaller, more specialized one-night-only shows. You can get great half-off deals for this through Goldstarevents.com,a nd since you basically pay for anything that hasn't been sold, you're guaranteed not to be disappointed. They have a great production value and hire not only locals but also visiting SAG and AEA performers, so you're sure to get a great-quality show. Good restaurants are also nearby. Parking is usally $5.

I am actually going to this school right now. This place is fantastic. All the students are friendly, unlike many other schools. Many of the professors are great too. They get along with the students most of the time and they try to understand the students. For highschoolers thinking about going to a California State University school, they should seriously consider going here.

In California on business. Had the weekend free, so I thought I'd checkout the harbor & aquarium. Luckily I checked out their website & found a very valuable $10 off coupon! So if you're planning a visit, be sure to checkout the website.
The displays were fairly large and wide-open providing enough room for viewing & to see plenty of fish! Although the sharks were interesting and the seals were fun, my favorite display has to be the all of the jellyfish displays! They are all so beautiful!
The only drawback is the expense; you've got to pay to park, pay admission, pay to feed some of the animals, etc...adds up quickly.
Pros: Great, Bright Displays
Cons: Can Be Expensive

If you can't afford to take your family to a theme park, then you probably can afford to take them to this amazing home of fish and other sea wildlife. Regular price cost are about $20 an adult and $12 for children, and if your a Long Beach resident, you get a 1/3 price off discount. Whats also cool is that if you pay a little bit extra, you get to take the "behind the scenes tour." Basically, the whole inside of the building is filled with giant aquariums holding sealife from all around. You can walk up to the glass and see the breathtaking scenes of fish moving by with in schools and you can watch the scary sharks swim around looking for something to munch on. You can also see seahorses, and brightly colored fish bob around in the water. You can also see the amazing sea otters joke around and act foolishly with one another. You can learn everything you want to know by taking a guided tour throughout the acquarium. There is plenty of more sealife that you can see that I haven't went over yet, and this is definately an experience you can't miss.

An oustanding course. Hit it straight and you'll play like a pro. Wild shots will punish you and make you wonder how a course with such short holes can cause such a high score.The front side requires straight shots. The back side is hilly and requires the proper hillside shot techniques. For this reason I have found it a great course to practice on prior to a tournament anywhere.

The El Dorado Birthday Train is such a fun place to go for the entire family. The train goes around the park and is such a neat ride for kids and adults alike. The park itself is really very nice as well with lots of trees around and a beautiful lake. Rides are available for the lake on a paddle boat or a row boat at an additional fee. But these boat rides are a lot of fun as well and an educational experience for kids where parents can take the opportunity to teach their kids the technique of rowing a boat and boat safety.

Fingerprints is something of an little bohemian oasis on the upper crust sidewalks of Belmont Shore in Long Beach. A big little record store, the selection is heavy on Indie rock, but there are small but well-maintained sections of jazz and classical as well. Hip older rock--timeless stuff like the Stones and all kinds of psychedelia--is represented pretty well in the stacks. They make a strong effort to get limited edition vinyl pressings and have some great rare vinyl. I don't think they pay especially well for used music--they aren't bad, but they aren't as good as Rockaway or Amoeba--but they do buy just about everything. They have unbelieveable in-store performances...Jonathon Richman, Dave Alvin, Iron & Wine, even Patti Smith have all played there.
