They are Beachwood Brewing (there is one at 210 East 3rd Street), dan modern chinese (which is already operating in Pasadena, L.A., Santa Monica, Playa Vista, and Manhattan Beach), Fire Wings (a national chain), and JINYA Ramen Bar (an international chain). The goal is for these venues to be open “by the end of the year.” (LB Business Journal)
2. 6100 Block Of Long Beach Boulevard Murder Update: We talked earlier in the week about the Friday shooting death that occurred in the 6100 block of Long Beach Boulevard when “a male suspect approached a group of subjects and got into a verbal dispute with the group, which escalated into a shooting.” The LBPD announced Tuesday that they had a suspect in custody, a “49-year-old resident of the city of Hawthorne.” He “has been booked on one count of murder.” (LBPD)
