Great photo finds, HotelCharlieEcho, and great research on the photos!

Probably not lots of background information floating around on any business's in the Pike at Long Beach. The people who worked there were like carnys and if someone asked too many questions, they figured that person was law enforcement and would clam up.

The former location of the Pike amusement zone is now high rises and condos. One spot that keeps it's link to the Pike past is Outer Limits Tattoo which use to be owned by the legendary tattoo artist Bert Grimm.

Looff's Lite-A-Line is a former Pike business that moved up North a few miles on Long Beach Blvd. They have artifacts and
relics from the Pike such as roller coaster cars and signs on display and are worth a visit.
