Broadway Long Beach, 90803 By Kathy Nadeau LW Contributor Looking for authentic, homestyle, Indian cuisine., Flamin Curry hits the spot.  A short drive from Leisure World down Westminster Blvd,, turn right on The Toledo, and take the first left onto Broadway, which brings you to Flamin Curry, a few doors past Redondo Ave, you’ll see their yellow-orange awning on the left. I have been looking for good Indian food and found the  place. A small take out restaurant, with casual inside dining and high quality, freshly made everyday fare.

   Restaurant Review   Nah Binh, Open Tuesday-Saturday, 9AM-7PM, 14092 Magnolia St. #116, Westminster 92683. There is a reason why the LA Times (Jan. 9, 2023), once again, recognized Nah Binh as one of LA’s 101 best restaurants.  Its been around for a long time! An easy drive down Westminster Boulevard from Leisure World, Nah Binh is located in a small mall at the Magnolia Street intersection. There are twelve specialty items on the menu, spicy noodle soups with several cuts of pork and beef or shrimp, tapioca rice cakes and stuffed dumplings, and other delicacies, from the province of Thua Thien Hue, Vietnam. I went for #1, the beef soup was delicious. I felt so healthy afterwards and this family run restaurant will be one of my regular favorites for years to come. It is very spacious and perfectly sized, sparkling clean with wonderful nostalgic decor and paintings. A must try restaurant, I highly recommend it for those of us who love LA and all it has to offer. Kat...

  Love Will Win : The Seal Beach Pride Festival (June 10, 2023)   By Kathy Nadeau The Seal Beach Pride festival was organized to create a welcoming and inclusive celebration of the right of LGBTQ+ people to be themselves. Everyone had a good time. The music was excellent! Many colorfully adorned, sat, stood, and danced to the music on the grass next to the pier. It was peaceful and fun-loving, even as some far right bible thumpers called us sinners going to hell.  Kelley Robinson on  Democracy Now  (6/7/23) stated, “The Human Rights Campaign has declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the United States, over a wave of discriminatory laws passed in states across the country.” Recently, Temecula Valley Unified District removed mention of Harvey Milk from its curriculum. He was our first openly gay elected politician (member of SF Board of Supervisors, 1977, until assassinated 11/27/78). He said, “you have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope...
