We’ve complained about nauseous smells in Long Beach coming from the harbor, the cement factories, and the dreaded petroleum refineries for some time. After years of complaints, AQMD is investigating the recurring stench. Long Beach is a funky and quirky city to live in. It has great music and a well-diversified community. It’s very different from its neighboring giant, Los Angeles. Although Long Beach tries to best LA, the point is just that it’s unique because of the people who make it so special.
