Ocean Blvd. - Long Beach, CA

I walk around beautful Ocean Blvd. in Bluff Heights at sunset. The place where the film industry was born, where silent film stars mansions still sit. The original "Hollywood"
The place where they film frequently in the present.

@CATniteOwl Thanks for watching! They have designated crosswalks, and a couple lights. As far as the speed limit, don't quote me, but I believe it's 35, could be 25. It is a bit unnerving crossing there. People do tend to fly down Ocean.

I lived in LB about 100 years ago - how does anyone get across Ocean Blvd these days?! What's the speed limit? The cars seemed to be going freeway speed...

Thanks for your uploads.

@foxpawz Thanks for watching. Yes, Chaplin did live in my neighborhood. There's a cool mural of him in an alley way near my place. Many other silent film stars lived in our neighborhood as well.
