"A long-standing burger spot closely tied to the nearby high school, widely known for selling hamburgers, milkshakes, and ice cream to Long Beach Polytechnic High School students. Like other nearby businesses, it was notified of a planned demolition connected to a proposed housing-and-retail project (including a drive‑thru), prompting community backlash. City officials intervened, the mayor urged postponement, and the Planning Commission rescheduled the hearing for January 17 so the architect can meet with tenants and officials can work toward a resolution." - Mona Holmes
