Welcome to Longbeachize, your go-to platform for everything that makes Long Beach tick. We’re not just a digital space; we’re a community hub that amplifies the stories, flavors, and vibrant urban life that define our city.
Our journey
Longbeachize has come a long way: What started as an idea scribbled on a napkin by founder Baktaash Sorkhabi altered when he joined Brian Addison, who brought on the Streetsblog family to create a site dedicated to urbanism, livability, development, and transportation. Since then, that vision has evolved into a comprehensive guide and examination of Long Beach’s culture and community. Through various phases, the platform has grown to cover a wide array of topics—from food and culture to urban development and social issues.
The current chapter: Upholding authentic and community-centric integrity
In an age where information is abundant, authenticity is rare. At Longbeachize, our community-centric (not necessarily journalism-focused) integrity is at the cornerstone of our ethos: We understand we hold the deep responsibility of telling the stories of others—and that is a privilege. While we occasionally work with partners who do support our monetarily—like the Port of Long Beach for Long Beach Food Scene Week or the Navarro Hospitality Group for sponsored content—our commitment to genuine, valuable storytelling remains unwavering.
