Today's Grunion Gazette, which shares the Press-Telegram's parent company, explains the greatly revised 2nd and PCH project plans, which went to the city Wednesday.
Editor Kurt Helin explains it like this:
There is a lot of open space, five acres of it total with a three-quarter acre "great space" that can have music and more. There will be the kind of retail stores that Long Beach residents often complain they have to drive out of the area to shop at. There will be spaces for the Cal Rep Theatre and a regional cycling center. There will be quality architecture and a nautical feel that connects to the ocean.
