There’s more to being part of a community than simply where you live.
Hoodline reviewed the city's past week on Twitter, with the greatest attention to accounts that are dedicated to community life — things like parks, animals, healthy living and education. Our goal was to reveal and share the things that drove your social media discussions around those topics.
Health
Here are some of last week's can't-miss tweets on the topic of public health in Long Beach.
The city saw little change in Twitter conversations around health last week compared to the previous week.
Despite that, some local tweets did get attention locally. One was this tweet by @LBHealthDept:
The brain develops through the age of 25- #greenlightlb recommends that if you plan on using cannabis, that you wait until your brain is done developing, use it less frequently, and and in lower concentrations. . #Lbcannabisedu https://t.co/JjfFJKT8Iz
— Long Beach Health (@LBHealthDept)
In all, the tweet received two local retweets and four total retweets, quotes and favorites.
Then there was this tweet from @csulbshs on Thursday:
Need a way to reduce stress, sleep better & build resilience? We've got Chill Out Fridays available starting tomorrow, and April 19th! Beginners are welcome! Call our office today! https://t.co/NF1SSYY6fr
— CSULBSHS (@csulbshs)
All told, the tweet racked up two local retweets and four total retweets, quotes and favorites.
Schools
From high-achieving students to innovative programs, the schools are home to some of the most important news in the city. So we've curated the most compelling tweets related to the schools of the past week.
Long Beach experienced about the same volume of Twitter conversations around schools last week compared to the previous week.
Yet some tweets proved popular. Here's an example, from @MrsLindaCargile:
Starting spring break by kicking back in the #LBP! Thanks for another incredible event organized by ASB & @puthdaprince! #proudtobeLBUSD https://t.co/e3sjnhDe9k
— Linda Cargile (@MrsLindaCargile)
That tweet received one local retweet, one local quote and 17 total retweets, quotes and favorites.
