Atlantic Avenue between Carson Street and San Antonio Drive will be jammed with cars on July 11, when the Fourth Annual Dragster Expo and Car Show hits the street from 2 until 7 p.m.
The event began in 2006 as the brainchild of Eighth District Councilwoman Rae Gabelich, whose late husband Gary Gabelich is best known for setting a world land speed record of 622.407 mph in the rocket-powered Blue Flame and was also a power boat and drag boat champion.
“We hope this is the most successful year ever appealing to people in the neighborhoods looking for something to do close to home,” said Gabelich, whose office coordinates the event with the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association (BKBIA).

LONG BEACH, Calif. — A recently published survey showed that, even in these precarious economic times, a vacation is a luxury that many people are unwilling to give up. Hard-earned and well-deserved, those sacred two weeks serve as a wellspring of rejuvenation for the next grueling 50 ahead.
Still, the dilemma remains — with so little time and ever-shrinking disposable income, where will your dream vacation take you: Spain, Italy, England, Latin America or the Pacific Rim? With so much of the world offering appealing alternatives, how does one choose?
Here’s an idea: Go to Long Beach. You can experience all of the above destinations much more economically, and you won’t need a passport.
Long considered Los Angeles’ less glamorous younger sister, Long Beach has spent much of the past two decades refurbishing, refashioning and revitalizing itself. The result is one of Southern California’s most surprising vacation destinations. Part of that surprise stems from the realization of just how cosmopolitan the city is.
In Long Beach, you can take a trip around the world in 80 blocks.
