June 9: Stacey Sweet Debuts, Send Scenic Snapshots, House Hunt

Rise and shine, Long Beach. It’s going to be a hot one today, with temps hitting the high 90s. Here are five things you should know about what’s going on in the city before starting your Thursday.

1. Patch personality Stacey Sweet makes her broadcasting debut for Long Beach Patch as she takes us to the George Ennis Film Festival at the Cabana restaurant. Return later for this exclusive video.

2. Find out how much your Long Beach neighbors are selling their homes for when we post our House Hunt feature this afternoon.

3. Maybe you were too busy cooling off at the beach yesterday to read our report that a dead whale washed ashore in neighboring Atlantic Beach.

4. If you’re out and about with camera in hand taking photos around scenic Long Beach, maybe there’s a few captures you’d like to share with us for our weekly Viewfinder gallery of photos. Email them (with the photographer’s permission) to: josephk@patch.com.

5. You know you have an opinion on a local topic that you’d like to voice, right? Why not write Patch a letter to the editor? Email letters no longer than 350 words to: josephk@patch.com.
