(LBPD)Earlier that day, at 1 p.m., there was an attic fire at an apartment complex on the 2600 block of 55th Way.

(LB Post) Update: On May 13, we talked about the sinkhole that formed "in an alley east of Long Beach's Ximeno Avenue and Seventh Street." L.A. County Sanitation fixed it on May 18. On May 23, the crews returned, placed a 40-foot crane on Ximeno, and might be there until some time in July. Crews found the "sewer to be in poor condition" and requiring repair.
