What’s Cookin’ on 3rd Street: Part Two
|
By Theresa J. Marino
Back in the summer of 2021, this newsletter featured an article I wrote about Popeye’s Louisiana Style Chicken’s move into the three storefronts near the 7-11 that were for lease for more than three years. However, at that time, none of us had any idea when the fast-food chicken spot would open.
After more than nine months of major construction, plumbing, electrical work, grease traps being installed, and exhaust systems being added to the roof, Popeye’s officially opened on Friday, March 18, 2022, at the northwest corner of 3rd Street and Redondo Avenue along the eastern boundary of the Bluff Heights Historic Neighborhood.

Back By Popular Demand: July 4th Block Party! |
After a two-year hiatus, the Bluff Heights Neighborhood Association is excited to announce that the July 4th Block Party will take place this summer!
All residents of Bluff Heights are invited to the Block Party on E. Vista Street between Orizaba and Obispo on Monday, July 4, from 12:00 to 5:00 pm! Come out and show your patriotic spirit and reconnect with or meet new neighbors and friends!
Call for Volunteers & Donations!
This event cannot be accomplished without the generous volunteer help and financial support of our Bluff Heights residents and our local businesses. BHNA needs volunteers for various activities throughout the day on the 4th (setup, staffing activities, takedown, etc.). Even if you are not available on the 4th, but would like to volunteer your time or make a donation before the event, please let us know.
We welcome all the help we can get! If interested, send an email with your contact information to info@bluffheights.org.
More details will be published in the coming months.
THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ON THE 4th!

How Do You Update a Community Cookbook?
M.F.K. Fisher, the exquisite writer of all things cuisine, explains in her book The Art of Eating that home-grown cookbooks are “utterly useless unless you know some of the women whose prized recipes are printed in them.” Fisher understood how important community cookbooks are, especially if you know the recipe’s author.

Belmont Shore Physical Therapy Is Just a Walk Away on Broadway
Writing an article about Belmont Shore Physical Therapy, located at 4028 E. Broadway, may seem like a strange topic for our newsletter, but this is a very unique establishment! Because it is so close to our neighborhood, I wanted to share my experiences with you.

It's really simple to trim your "Waste-Line!" All you need to do is collect your e-waste, hazardous waste, and/or old tire waste and bring it to one of three local collection centers under the conditions set by the City of Long Beach on this flyer.
