July 28: Stroller Strides Free Class, Zoning Board Meets, Intro Computer Class

Where can you find out about daily happenings in Long Beach? Log on to Patch in the morning, from Monday to Friday, for five things we think our readers should know each day. Here's what's going on Thursday:

1. The Long Beach Zoning Board of Appeals meets at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Among the items on the agenda are a variance for full service bar at 1034 W. Beech St.

2. Exercise with your toddler by your side! Stroller Strides will hold a free class starting at 9:30 a.m. at Magnolia Playground at Magnolia Boulevard and West Broadway.

3. The Long Beach Public Library will hold a free introductory computer course starting at 10 a.m.

4. If you dared to miss reading Patch yesterday, look at some of the many stories you missed: City Manager Charles Theofan responded to questions about a conflict of interest with the DecoBike contract, a Long Beach man was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated after a chase and fight with police, a look at Long Beach mothers who gave birth at home with the assistance of midwives, and a video of the Waterfront Warriors' welcome parade and barbeque for wounded veterans.   

5. Remember to check out Patch’s announcements section under the “News” tab, where you’ll find both past and upcoming events.
