Filming in Downtown Long Beach

Pine Avenue runs north from the waterfront as the main commercial street, office towers rising over ground floor shops and restaurants. The Farmers and Merchants Bank building stands at Pine and Third, a tall cast stone tower with the bank's own rooftop sign still in place, built in 1922 and 1923. A few blocks east, the Main Post Office fills a full block at Long Beach Boulevard and Third Street. The Art Deco tower rises in masonry and terra cotta over lower wings, with palm trees along the sidewalk, dating from 1934.

Ocean Boulevard follows the bluff above the harbor. The Villa Riviera apartment tower marks one stretch of it, a steep verdigris copper roof with carved grotesques along its ridges, sixteen storeys built in 1928. Farther along, the circular International Tower faces the water. Palm trees and wide sidewalks line the boulevard on both sides.

Shoreline Drive curves along the reclaimed waterfront past the Convention Center and the Aquarium of the Pacific, palm-lined medians dividing several lanes of traffic with glass office and residential towers rising on the inland side. The Civic Center's glass city hall, completed in 2019, faces Ocean Boulevard at Magnolia Avenue.

At Rainbow Harbor, the Pike stretches along the promenade, restaurant signs and a lit steel arch shaped like a roller coaster above the walkway. The Queensway Bridge carries traffic in a low concrete span across the back channel toward the Queen Mary, moored across the water since 1967, her black hull and red and black funnels visible from the downtown shore.
