And that light is the L.A.M.P program. It is a unique mentoring program for teens looking to develop their skills in music production, video production, photography, graphic design, silk screening. They offer state of the art equipment and training for teenagers who come from low income families at no cost. Over the weekend, we had the  pleasure to lend out our store for their open mic night. The evening was a complete success, with good music, big smiles, and tacos with horchata to fill our tummys.

Out Of The Garage

Bringing new life to the space at 1828 E. Broadway, entrepreneurs Johnny Phan and Jaiden Do opened the doors of Forever Ashbury last month between Cherry and Hermosa avenues.

Forever Ashbury, a Long Beach-based clothing, skateboard and accessory brand that started in the business owners’ garage, has a storefront for the first time since it was created five years ago.

“We have built a really beautiful store from the ground up,” Phan said. “We have completely remodeled this store, building everything ourselves. Business so far has been amazing – we are building a strong core following with the local skateboarders and people who are interested in this type of fashion.”
Forever Ashbury’s trademark color is purple, and the company’s distinct logo can be found adorning T-shirts, sweaters, hats, shoes, skateboards and other products.

“We are definitely not a typical skate shop or a typical boutique,” Phan said. “We put our own style and creativity into this.”

For details about Forever Ashbury, which has a detailed website and regularly update blog written by the store’s owners, visit www.foreverashbury.com or call (562) 432-8300. The store is open daily.

All of our blood, sweat, tears, heart & soul went into making our store a reality. We finally got a chance to unveil it to our friends & family. The night was a complete success filled with smiles, laughter & just all around good vibes. We want to thank our family & friends from the bottom of our heart for the love and continued support. We really couldn’t do it without you.

A special shout out goes to our friends over at Marquez de Valencia for blessing us with their premium tequila all night long. We would also like to thank Matt Simmerman from Dubtree for the amazing pictures once again, you’re awesome man!
