L.B. ain't bad, just there are areas that are better than others. North of PCH it's a craphole - if that part of town fell into an earthquake fault tomorrow it probably wouldn't be too big a loss to the world. Between PCH & 7th is marginal. From 4th to 7th is tolerable and south of 4th is fine. At least in my experience.

The Pike gets crappy at night, particularly in the summer or on the weekends from all the gangbangas from Compton and other such charming little communities nearby going down there to hang out. Same with the clubs on Pine. Fine if you like that ghetto-esque "club scene", which fortunately I don't. Spending lots of money on "bling" and overpriced, watered-down booze to pretend to impress indifferent members of the opposite sex while risking the ire of potentially armed and dangerous other suitors ain't my idea of a fun time. . . but whatever floats yer boat.
