Yesterday’s front page headline in the Long Beach Press Telegram was: Long Beach’s `soul’ rates high. I would have to agree. Not only does Long Beach have soul, it has spirit.
In fact, just today I was walking to the pharmacy and I got touched by an angel. Literally.
Technically I got hugged by an angel and I have photos to prove. This angel was in the window as part of a promotion for stores on Broadway Avenue, such as Phoenix and Crow.
Other special treats on the Avenue included an extremely authentic pirate couple complete with dirty faces and leather gear. Across the street at Merry’s Fashion with Passion, a small troupe of belly dancers performed. Free food and beverages were available. Hospitality was in unlimited supply.
I was so excited about the angel I walked fast. My husband trailed me with the camera.
Okay, there’s the angel in the window. Isn’t she beautiful?
And there you have it, me wrapped in angel’s wings while listening to The Renaissance by Q-tip on my iPod. How much more soul do you want?
