Pop-Up Roller Skate Venue to Open at 2ND & PCH

09.17.21

Pigeon’s Roller Rink, a pop-up experience will open at 2nd and PCH in Long Beach on Saturday, September 18th. The roller skate venue will offer excitement on eight wheels for all ages with a variety of reservation-based open skate sessions, classes, and private parties. 

Like most action sports, roller skating’s popularity rose dramatically during the pandemic. However, the years preceding this new-wave skating boom were not as kind to the sport and several venue closures left Los Angeles county with only one full-time rink. Now, roller skating is back with more skaters in Southern California than there have been in decades and public demand for a true private venue for roller skaters is greater than any time since the 1970s,.

The range of classes available at Pigeon’s Roller Rink includes skate fitness, roller derby, beginner skate lessons, roller skate dance and choreography, artistic skating, and a kids club. A pop-up retail unit with select skates, accessories and merchandise available for purchase in addition to equipment for skate repairs. 

For more information on Pigeon’s Roller Rink, pricing and reservations visit 2ndandpch.com or call Customer Service at (562) 980-0006. 

2ND & PCH remains committed to health and wellness and is taking extra precautions to ensure the community feels welcome and safe while visiting the center. For the latest information and details about 2ND & PCH health and safety protocols and a complete list of tenants visit 2ndandpch.com

World’s Largest Trash Cleanup Event Returns to OC

09.15.21

Coastal Cleanup Day is making its in-person comeback on Sept. 18 after a year hiatus. To observe this day, Orange County Coastkeeper is coordinating cleanup sites throughout the county, providing supplies, and collecting data on behalf of the California Coastal Commission.

This is Coastkeeper’s sixth year hosting Coastal Cleanup Day. The volunteer beach cleanup is from 9 a.m. to noon and it includes more than 30 sites throughout Orange County. Coastal Cleanup Day encourages people to collect trash and recyclable items discarded on the region’s coastline, waterways, or near home.

To add more fun this year, Coastkeeper is also hosting a month-long virtual event where volunteers can collect trash on any date. Volunteers will be able to contribute to the data collected by Coastal Cleanup Day by using the Clean Swell® app and using the group name Coastkeeper Clean.

The Orange County cleanup is part of California Coastal Cleanup Day, organized by the California Coastal Commission with cleanup sites statewide, including more than 30 in Orange County. 

 This statewide event is part of the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup, which attracts two million volunteers across the United States and 21 million people globally. It is regarded as the world's largest trash cleanup event.

 Prior to the pandemic, more than 7,000 Orange County volunteers collected a record-breaking 70,485 pounds of trash and recyclable materials during the three-hour event. Some of the most obscure findings have included wigs, a flute, car parts, and more. 

Attendance is free and supplies will be provided to attendees if needed. However, Coastkeeper aspires to accomplish a low-waste event and asks that volunteers bring their own cleanup supplies including a bucket or reusable bag, gloves, and reusable water bottle.

 To participate in virtual cleanups or to find a location near you for Sept. 18, please visit Coastkeeper’s Coastal Cleanup Day page.
