Near by, at the intersection of Orange and Wardlow (near Jan's Antique Mall), packed into a tiny streamline moderne storefront, Antique Emporium peddles vintage linens, California pottery, jewelry, and bric-a-brac. Open since April, proprietress Julie Brown-Wooley hopes to expand next door, unable to showcase her extensive backstock.


California Heights, the largest of Long Beach's 17 historic districts, was developed beginning in 1922. Fuzzy cheeked Sunset Magazine included the former Los Cerritos ranch land, in their 2004 Best Neighborhoods in the West feature.
