This started as a delving into the historic Long Beach Pike. Today we are acknowledging that history is much more exciting when it is viewed in the context of the rest of the world. The name change to The Mystery of History reflects this.
The Long Beach Pike was the first amusement zone in the West Coast. It was the West Coast version of Coney Island, and like Coney Island, it was a destination for tens of thousands on any weekend day. It was a time before automobiles. Visitors arrived, first by horse and buggy, then by the Pacific Electric Red Car. Join Paul Miranda and Trish Tsoiasue in this journey down the memory lane of time.
