	Vol.7, No 1, August 30, 1999
	A second street on Second Street Second Street has two personalities.  On a Friday night along this street packed with clubs and bars, college-age adults are stumbling around, looking for their next drink, bathroom stop or telephone number.  Older adults in their 30s are also walking around, usually with the hand of a companion. Police, however, seem to almost outnumber the mixed crowd. Their black and white cars line the street like decaying sidewalks. Officers are walking the scene and are quick to issue tickets for jaywalking. During the afternoon, Second Street becomes a quieter, calmer scene. A somewhat older crowd window shops or sips cups of coffee while glancing at newspapers. Parents push along babies in strollers at a leisurely pace. College students are harder to spot as they mix in well with businessmen. "It's definitely a different scene [from the night to day]," said Bill Valles, a Long Beach police officer who, in plain clothes, has just eaten lunch. "[During the afternoon] it's a family setting. [At night] there's more of a college crowd. It's more rowdy because people drink more." Sarah Ewell, a 23-year-old Belmont Shore resident, agrees. "During the day, there's more of a middle-class and yuppie crowd," Ewell said. "There's a lot of tourists that stop by and go shopping and sight seeing. When the evening rolls around, that's when all the students come and go from bar to bar."
