That six-car pileup in Downtown Long Beach Monday morning was actually a TV shoot. A few people asked us about the commotion along Shoreline Drive. We found out it was a scene being filmed for the ABC police procedural "The Rookie."

Wanted to wait until after the holidays to share some sad news but almost 2 weeks ago I was laid off from the @LongBeachPost.
I never expected getting to meet so many people in the last 4 years and I’m grateful to everyone who gave me their time and trust to share their stories
