To the editor: This text ignored one vital occasion held at Veterans Memorial Stadium: the Lengthy Seashore Vintage Market (“Veterans Stadium is about to be demolished for a new sports complex. What it meant to Long Beach,” Aug. 23). Each month, there are 800 dealers and 1000’s of consumers who go to that present to seek out treasures.
Since its inception in 1982, there have been 14 reveals per 12 months. That present goes on rain or shine, scorching warmth in summer time or chilly and damp in winter. It is probably not a sporting occasion, but it surely does draw tens of 1000’s of flea market followers annually.
I feel it deserves to be talked about as a part of Lengthy Seashore historical past.
