Thanks - hmmmm - I grew up in Rancho Bernardo and spent years living in OC (Irvine and Placentia).
But - we all go by different things.
Some go by CSULB or California State University, Long Beach which is the formal name. I go by Long Beach State because growing up, that’s what we called it.
Perhaps it’s an old habit…but it’s my naming vice.
Here’s an article from today - in fact - which calls it Long Beach State.
Tomato, Tomato I suppose. But yes, off topic for OP.
