Beacheads and Tidelines Across Long Beach Area
A local resident praises Long Beach beaches for open access and public use with lifeguards, fishing piers, and boat launches, contrasting with Wilmette and nearby towns that charge for beach use. The piece argues for public tidelands funds to support beaches and parks, citing Huntington Beach as a model and noting support for equal access and nonrestricted enjoyment. It also recounts a reader story about the Brown family dog and praise for the Hodges who helped verify details, plus a whimsical note about a mysterious holy city building project and a space gun deployed on a broomstick horse scenario.
