Her article states, \u201cBecause the venue doesn\u2019t have its own parking lot, the options are rideshare, the bus, e-scooters, bikes (with storage available at the venue), taking a water taxi ($5 per way) or paying $55 for reserved spaces, then taking the free shuttle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One additional option, not to be overlooked, is to book a night\u2019s stay at the Queen Mary, which is directly beside the F&amp;M Amphitheater. Then, it\u2019s a simple five-minute walk to the venue. You can also relax on the ship and enjoy the many world-class exhibits and restaurants and soak in the amazing history. Plus, it\u2019s surprisingly reasonably priced.<\/p>\n<p>John Webb, Pasadena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug. 12, 2026 6 AM PT To the editor: Kailyn Brown\u2019s article is full of anxiety on the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":424406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[847,3268,30623,81869,2072,22674,169294,131,133,132,142028,171228,16714,171227,14536,19368,8843],"class_list":["post-430748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-article","tag-bike","tag-bus","tag-e-scooter","tag-editor","tag-good-time","tag-kailyn-brown","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-new-amphitheater","tag-new-fm-bank-amphitheater","tag-option","tag-parking-hassle","tag-rideshare","tag-venue","tag-way"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/424406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
