Now taking up much of the vacant lot known as the super block in Long Beach is what some residents are calling “Mount Sandy.”

The mound of sand, spread between Riverside Boulevard and Long Beach Road along Broadway, consists of beach sand that spilled into the city’s streets due to superstorm Sandy. It reaches almost as high as electricity poles along the street.
