This is the Villa Riviera building in downtown Long Beach, California.
This 16 story French Gothic building was constructed in 1929 and was the second tallest building in Southern California at the time. The Villa overlooks Long Beach, the ocean and is currently home to “sought-after” condos. It also overlooks the Long Beach Grand Prix every year, which may or may not be annoying.
In 1996, the Villa Riviera received recognition as a National Historical Landmark.

It seems as though “winter” has moved into Cali. I know what most of you are probably thinking, but it is chilly as I type this. Perhaps briefly, but it is still chilly. Brrrrrrr.

Seal Beach, California is home to one of my favorite places to eat…. Beachwood BBQ.
The place is half bar/half restaurant, is pretty unassuming and has a real simple throwback decor. They also have a great selection of rotating craft brews on tap. If you don’t believe me, peep the Hop Cam.
The jars pictured above hold the sauces and can be found at each table. The food here is actually tasty and doesn’t just come covered in sauce, It’s up to you if you want to add some. There’s Spicy, Mustard, Vinegar and Sweet.

So, Ikea is serving meatball sundae’s… I never knew such a thing could exist.
Even though the ingredients are pretty basic dinner materials that you could eat together anyway, there’s something about thinking of it as a sundae that makes me want to throw up on my keyboard.

Francis and I cruised down to S&M Bikes to check out their “Fall Fiesta” party.
Hit up DEFGRIP where I posted a photogallery from the day.
