{"product_id":"a-history-of-long-beach-9781505594782","title":"A History of Long Beach","description":"A decades old murder of a beautiful socialite - perhaps finally solved. A sharper State Senator who builds a City By The Sea. A stressed out policeman who assassinates the mayor one morning... without any regrets. These are some of the real-life characters who populate Will Hughes, History of Long Beach. Corrupt politicians. Crooked deals. And an amazing city beside the majestic Atlantic - a short rail ride from the Big Apple. At the urging of the Long Beach Historical Society, Will Hughes, who founded the Long Beach Free Press and grew the truly independent paper to the largest weekly on Long Island's South Shore in the 1980s, reprises his initial history. Full of historical photos and stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-1604472\"\u003eWill Hughes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781505594782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1505594782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036010\"\u003eUnited States | State \u0026amp; Local | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWill Hughes was born in Peekskill, NY and received his BA in Journalism from the University of Albany.
