Only 1 Fireworks Arrest +Car Vs. House + Pop-Up Art At Gallery 83

Happy Wednesday, Long Beach! Here's everything you need to know about what's happening today in Long Beach.

Is it possible that so far there’s only one fireworks-related arrest in LB? For a city where fireworks of all types are illegal, there was sure a lot of action on the 4th. Also, a driver somehow crashed into a home’s garage and only had minor injuries. Finally, LB’s art scene is exploding. The latest contribution comes from Violet Tinder Studios in the form of a pop-up exhibition space.

First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 79 Low: 64.
