more pages of new 2005 photos see below
A lot of
people email me from all over the word (literally) asking about The
Pike and what it's like today. So, I took my trusty digital camera down
and took some pictures. As you can see on subsequent pages, it's not
the Old Pike but it is very interesting. They've done a good job of
combining some of the old and a lot of the new. They have been
respectful of the Old Pike tieing in with the new design.
Below is
a photo of the top of the last remaining Looff building which I
understand will house the Long Beach History Museum. Meanwhile the
archives and offices are in a temporary facility downtown where they
still hold public hours.
