Long Beach's waterways are aglow for the coming weeks, as the city's signature floating trees blink blink on over the long Thanksgiving weekend. On cue, the Alamitos Bay trees blinked on Thanksgiving night, although some remain dark nearest each side of the Second Street Bridge and Bay Shore. (What is it with the red-white-and-blue ones that they fritz out more?)
Throughout our community's back bay neighborhoods and coast, the unique glowing trees are Long Beach landmarks. If you get some photos at tonight's Lagoon gathering, upload them here for all to enjoy. These are a few shots from last year's party, hosted by the surrounding neighborhood.
