Keep the books not the bulldozers. We have enough empty retail spaces already why destroy an actual business that people love.
Ridiculous that they think a 're-development' is more valuable than our city's heritage. Save the shop.
This place is a local treasure. Long Beach loses all its soul when we tear down everything cool to build another generic shopping center.
ACRES OF BOOKS IS LB HISTORY. dont tear it down for some ugly condos nobody can afford anyway.
I grew up in that store. Its a landmark for a reason. Please just fix the pipes or whatever and leave it alone.
