PARK AT THE PIKE

The Long Beach Pike is some place I used to go when I was a kid. It was a small amusement park down along the shores of Long Beach. As it got old, they eventually tore down the Amusement Park and put up an area with hotels, restaurants, movie theaters and such. The parking structure wasn't there either when I was a kid but the they did make it look nostalgic and it seemed worthy of a comp or 2.
