Paul Miranda lived and worked on the Long Beach Pike in the 1930s and 1940s. At that time, it grew from being the first Amusement Zone on the West Coast of the United States, into a destination that hosted many tens of thousands a day on weekends. He saw much from his 3rd story bedroom and from his workplace at Mon's Cafe. This is part of a series first inspired by a book that was written by Paul Miranda and Patricia Tsoiasue about his youth on the Pike. In this episode he shares the day the Pine Avenue Pier came down in a storm. To purchase the book on Amazon, click here.
