As I entered into Michaels, the first thing you'll notice is how huge they are for an Arts and Crafts store. All cash registers are on and working as employees work quickly to ring up customers items. Inside the store, you'll find every arts can crafts item you can imagine. They'll have threads, many kinds of crayons, different shapes of scissors, buttons, clothes, glues, and the list goes on and on. The only thing I don't like about the place is it's organization. They don't have real organization in the store. They'll just mix up papers and threads in one row, and glue with crayons in another. Shelfs are stacked high with items, and there are a lot of shelves. Prices for items seem unusually high, I guess I could get them in Walmart or Target, but those stores don't hold as much stock, or nearly as much variety as Michaels. I also love how clean and neat the place is. You'd think that a store like this would have beads and clutter all over the floor, but they don't. Everything in the store is shiney. If you have a school project to do, this is one of the first places you should stop by.

Wetzels Pretzels is located in the Long Beach Towne Center. They sell some of the best tasting pretzels you'll ever eat. It's amazing how they twist the bread into the shape of the pretzel and they also sprinkle the right amount of salt and added the perfect amount of butter to get its mouthwatering flavor. The lighty brown crispy tasting pretzel will spark your taste buds. They are currently selling some wetzel dogs which are brilliantly covered with cheese which gives the dog its satisfying taste. Cost of the different items in the store are between 3 to 5 bucks, a great price to temporarily satisfy your stomach before a big meal. Just add on the friendly customer service, you'll be amazed at how great these guys can make Pretzels.

Are you looking for really great tasting BBQ? Then this is one of those places. The first thing about Lucille's is the line. They serve great BBQ, and if you come during prime eating time, expect to wait an hour or so. Inside the restaurant it is really crowded. I think it adds to the great atmosphere for a BBQ restaurant. The nice waitress led us the our tables and she politely served me and my friends. I ordered the ribs, even though they were kind of expensive. When I got the ribs, I was glad I ordered them. I never tasted any ribs so juicy, tender, sweet, tasty, and powerful at the same time. It melted and sank in my mouth everytime I took a bite. I did get a bit messy, but you should expect to get messy whenever you order ribs. I must say, the ribs were literally grilled to perfection. The ribs will cost around 22 to 25 bucks, but it's well worth it. The restaurant also serves half a chicken, combo platters, and other kinds of bbq which will cost around 20 bucks. They also serve sandwiches and soups as well. You can expect to pay around 10 to 13 bucks for one of their delicious sandwiches. If you ever want to try one of the best tasting ribs on the planet, make a stop by Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ Grill.

The first thing you'll notice about entering this restaurant is its decor. It is built as one of those old Mexican buildings (sorry, I can't remember what they were called). Inside you can hear classical mexican music, giving the customers the right ambience for the restaurant. The waitress was very polite and she made us, the customers, feel like we belonged at the restaurant. Everything on the menu looked great, but I decided to go for the chicken enchiladas. Most items on the menu cost around 10 to 12 bucks. I noticed they also served soft tacos, tacquitos, burritos, and so on, and even margaritas, but the margaritas would be for another day. When the order was ready, I could smell the delicious tasting enchiladas as they were ready for being eaten. The meal came with 2 enchaladas, rice, beans, and corn cakes. Good lord the enchaladas were tasty, and I couldn't stop myself from devouring the cheesy tasting greatness of the enchladas. Of course the rice and beans tasted marvelous as well. I also loved how the waitress never let our drinks get empty. Everytime it was only half way, she'd immediately come back to fill up the drinks. If you want a great mexican restauarant experience, then you must go here.

Panda Express serves up some great asian fast food for about 6 to 7 bucks, depending on how many sides you order. They serve a variety of precooked asian items (they keep the food warm at the front glass), such as fried rice, noodles, eggrolls, pork, chicken teriyaki, and so on. Sometimes I get annoyed at the lines at this particular Panda Express. It sometimes gets long, probably because the food is good and a lot of people want to eat it. The negative thing about the food is that they are really geasy, so if your on a diet, your kinda screwed. I love how they serve a lot of food to you, while other restaurants try their best to give a little bit of food. The restaurant really wants to satisfy your hunger. They also hook all customers up with cool fortune cookies. I personally love where this Panda Express is located because it is connected with a few other restaurants inside a building where there are plenty of tables and seats for all customers to sit on. Overall, this is one of the best Panda Expresses I've been to.

Love your video games? Well, you can play them at this awesome arcade located in the Long Beach Towne Center, conveniently across from the Edwards Cinema so you can play games before or after you watch a movie. When I used to go to this arcade, they had this cool laser tag activity you could play. It was something like $5 to play. Whats cool about this arcade is that you don't have to keep putting quarters into the machine. You put all you money on a card they provide you, and all your credits are on that card. You put the card into the machine and it'll deduct your credits for each game you play. The arcade also has ticket games which you can redeem for cool prizes. They also have DDR in the arcade, as well as other cool fighting and racing games. The arcade is usually lively and filled with fun. They frequently add new games when they are released. What sucks is that most games cost double than where you play them elsewhere. For example, a game costing a quarter will go for 50 cents. However, putting that aside, this is a great way for kids to have fun on weekends or their vacation.

Talk about your good fast food places, this is definately one of them. They sell a lot of different potatoe and steak related items. The steak usually comes in the form of grilled sandwiches, such as the "Great Steak" or the mouthwatering "Super Steak." They also offer different kinds of sandwiches as well, such as the tasty "Chicken Philly" and the delightful "Chicken Teriyaki." What I love most about them is that the serve one hell of a potatoe. Their "Great Potatoe" is the best. They top the potatoe with cheese and sour cream and other great tasting fatty substances. Oh yeah, they serve one hell of french fries as well. Baked to perfect. All of these items come at affordable prices, usually around $4 to $7, depending on what you get. Whats also good is that they serve the food fresh for you, and it looks like their restauarant is very clean too. If you want to try a great tasting baked potatoe, you must try it here.

Sport Chalet is obviously a sporting goods store that sells a variety of different sporting gear. They also sell different exercise mechanisms to help get yourself in shape. They supply customers with tennis, basketball, football, soccer, baseball, and other supplies for playing the game (such as baseballs and baseball bats). They also hold fishing gear for those fishermen out there. At the back of the store they have shoes for all kinds of sports, such as basketball shoes and cleats, for both men and women. You can also find sport clothing, such as exercise suits and baseball and basketball jerseys. You can also get team affiliated gear, such as Dodger caps and what not. The customer service is excellent, especially at the shoe department. You tell them what shoe you want, and they will get it for you right away. Check out is quick and effiecient too. There's rarely any lines, and if there is, they usually have another employee to open up another line so people can get by faster. Parking could be an issue on weekends, because the whole Long Beach Towne Center gets flooded on weekends, and they share their parking with the Towne Center. There's never any hassles parking on weekdays. If you need any sporting related item, this is the place to go.

The first thing you notice about Helen Grace Chocolates is their great location. They are located in the Long Beach Towne Center, right near the Edwards Cinema. Many people will stop by the store to pick up something to eat for the movie they will see. The store itself is a nice cozy store. When you go inside, you wish you could eat everything! Everything looks good on all the shelves. The women on the counter is really nice, and greets every customer when they enter. They have all kinds of chocolates in the store, some with nuts, some just plain chocolate, some with cream, and so on. They also have some chocolate balls you can buy prepackaged. This place is probably good if you need to buy some chocolates for your date. They sell chocolates in boxes as well. They also have supplies of truffles and candy bars. Prices, of course, are kinda high, but these are delicious chocolates, so they are worth it! Next time you go to the Long Beach Towne Center, make sure you stop by Helen Grace Chocolates and try some of their great tasting sweets.
