Nothing Fishy about this Tuna Room

No website yet but Luis Pinel has opened up the exhibits of the Tuna Room (on the second floor of the Omelet Inn at 301 Pine Avenue) to the public. Dedicated to documenting the tuna industry, the room has phtos, licences, maps, nets, and other artifacts including a diver's suit. Besides being a huge port, Long Beach was once home to the Starkist tuna cannery before it moved to Ecuador.
