The Berlin Coffeehouse and Fingerprints Records share a building on 4th Street in Long Beach, just east of the downtown area. The record store is really cool, with plenty of rare vinyl and used compact discs, as well as some imports and new releases, particularly from obscure labels.

It was 5 PM when I arrived back in Long Beach from Catalina Island, and my stepbrother and his family had driven down from the San Bernardino area to meet me for dinner at Long Beach, so we ate at the Yard House and walked around Shoreline Village. November 22, 2011

The Catalina Express is a boat service of fairly fast catamarans, which run a regular schedule from Long Beach to the town of Avalon on Catalina Island, 26 miles away. The journey takes about an hour.

I was in Long Beach to grab a quick breakfast and catch the boat out to Catalina Island. The Omelette Inn on Pine Avenue proved to be the best place to grab a breakfast before my boat ride. Nearly empty when I arrived, it filled up very quickly, and not surprisingly, since they have great breakfasts at reasonable prices.
