Zoning administrative hearing officers have postponed indefinitely a Local Coastal Development Permit request to operate a farmers' market in East Long Beach.
The permit seeks operations on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. with 100 vendor spaces, at 6701 E. Pacific Coast Highway, a site known as the "Pumkin Patch."
Long Beach project manager Jeff Winklepleck gave no reason for the postponement -- the second in recent weeks.
Joe Segura, a mild-mannered reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper, has covered Gotham City, er Long Beach, for 34 years. During his very, very long -- endless -- tenure, he's covered almost every beat, and he was the main writer for BeachWeek, which focused on life and lifestyles of the shoreline communities from downtown Long Beach to the Huntington Beach pier.
He's also been keenly interested in environmental issues, long before green became fashionable, writing extensively about the battles to save Bolsa Chica (Huntington Beach), Hellman (Seal Beach) and Los Cerritos (Long Beach) wetlands.
