Belmont Center — Local services in Long Beach

I needed a jump and nobody I mean zero people wanted to help with a jump and I had my own cables too. It's just really sad that being in this nice area where you would think people would help you more is actually the complete opposite. If I were in the "ghetto" areas of lbc then I would've been helped within the first 20 to 30mins. I was stuck in the Belmont shore jack n the box parking lot all day long until about 10:30 at night when two nice men pulled up after seeing I was still there when they were returning from an errand. They gave me a jump and we're very kind. Belmont shores I'm very disappointed with how you turn the other cheek to someone in need. No I was not visibly homeless and was dressed casual but nice. And I am a female!!! What's wrong with the world today? It makes me feel like moving to another state or country...

the Thrift Store is REEEALLY good here!! Everything is always less than what's marked. and the people working here, have always been polite and respectfull. the BARGAIN Store always has some great deals! Food4Less is always crowded, and their kiosks (eco atm are always out of cash money. Rite Aid closes early. oh yeah, i can't forget to mention the drive thru line at McDonalds... always stretching thru the parking lot, out and down Anaheim St. the Chinese Fast Food spot is good with decent sized portions, and my personal favorite.... NO PEAS in their Fried Rice. sometimes the line can get pretty long, stretching right out the door. the regulars usually keep the line moving, so it goes...

It's ok even though it is really ghettoed out and a lot of poor people live around there. Just another part of Long beach where you wont see a whole foods or a trader joes anytime in the near future. A LOT OF HOMELESS TOO, but still i have some respect for that area, and dont think its dangerous just because the mcdonalds has to hire a full time armed security guard to keep the drive through customers feeling like they arent going to...
