User:BlankVerse/Two Eastsides

There are two very different "Eastsides" in Long Beach. The traditional Eastside is on the east side of the city. The boundaries are (roughly) Carson Blvd. (N), Interstate 605 (San Gabriel Freeway) (E), Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) (S), and Lakewood Boulevard (W).

The second Eastside is an area on the east side of the Los Angeles River (closer to the center of Long Beach) that is claimed by several different street gangs, such as the East Side Longos, and is associated with a number of Long Beach rap artists, such as Snoop Dogg's Eastsidaz. The boundaries for this second Eastside are (very roughly) Willow Ave. and then the Signal Hill city limits (N), Redondo Blvd. (E), Ocean Blvd. (S), and the Los Angeles River (W).
