8:30am | Scott Jones, founder of We Love Long Beach, and 1st District City Councilmember Robert Garcia, speak about yesterday’s collaborative community beautification project which will create a series of murals to surround the now vacant building that once housed the Press Telegram on Pine Avenue in Downtown Long Beach. The project was a combined effort of We Love Long Beach, the Molina family, Councilmember Garcia, the Arts Council for Long Beach, Lyon’s Art Supply, the DLBA, and many local artists, students, and community volunteers.
