I understand that the terminal was built in the 1920s, and is a fine example of Art Deco architecture, or what some called Streamline Modern. Up on the second floor, there used to be an excellent photo and memorabilia exhibit all about the history of the airport; hopefully it's still there. I'm always reminded of the end of "Casablanca" when I go there, and I also like the small size, lack of crowds, and relatively speedy security and baggage operations.

I used to live right near the airport, and picking people up was a snap. One time I my wife called me as the plane was taxi-ing in, and I got there before she was able to pick up her luggage. Try that at LAX. Grr…us Long Beachers are still upset with Jet Blue letting our secret out to people that would otherwise never dare set foot in the LBC.

Those of us that use the smaller airports unless LAX is an unavoidable option, are trying to keep this on the hush-hush, okay? Shhh!
