Very true. It's kick back, but you do see your share of stuff, and do plenty of things.
I'm a PGY2 there right now.
heck, I'm shocked they're still hawkin for an FP spot this late. Come on over! The more people we got, the less call we get. It's a win-win.
Close to the beach however, is relative, though. Just because you're in Long Beach, doesn't mean you're on the beach.
Then again, those who have been a thousand miles away from the nearest thing resembling a beach now being 26 blocks away...then I guess it's not so bad, especially if you've spent a year in the desert.
