Among the 18 designated historic districts, California Heights Neighborhood is the largest historical district in Long Beach with the oldest home built in 1905. This year, California Heights Neighborhood celebrates 100 years of architectural charm and history.
Listen as we talk with Manny Valenzuela of California Heights Neighborhood Association, a volunteer-led nonprofit organization working to promote public knowledge and preservation of historic and architectural resources.
We acknowledge that California Heights resides on the traditional territory occupied by the Tongva people who were the area's original residents prior to the arrival of European colonizers.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
