Bixby Knolls, Long Beach

Its approximate boundaries are the 405 Freeway to the south (or Wardlow Avenue), Del Amo Blvd to the north (or the Southern Pacific railroad tracks), the Los Angeles River and the Lakewood city boundary to the west of Atlantic Avenue, south of Bixby Road.

Atlantic Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard are the main north-south arteries through the neighborhood.

Small shops and restaurants dot a strip of Atlantic Avenue south of San Antonio and north of the 405 Freeway, as well as on the streets surrounding this main thoroughfare.

The loss of the store was long symbolic of the decline of Bixby Knolls as a retail center, and in a broader sense.
