For the third time in nearly a year, a car crashed into Magnolia and Willow antique store in Long Beach.
Magnolia and Willow antique store owners fear they may have to shut down the small business due to repeated collisions.
“It’s completely overwhelming and so incredibly stressful,” said Emily Yep, the owner of the store, who has asked the city for steal or concrete bollards to protect her building from the dangerous intersection of Willow and Magnolia. “We are struggling. At this point, I don’t know if Magnolia Willow is going to make it.”
Last fall, Mayor Rex Richardson visited the store and promised action after a second crash into the front of the store.It happened just three months after another car slammed into the side of the store destroying the wall, glass and products.“There are huge skid marks right across them, like it didn’t slow the car down at all,” said Yep.
The city extended the curbs Tuesday, but Yep believes the only real solution are 3 to 4-foot-tall bollards or pillars outside the building.She posted a video on Facebook where she drove by Long Beach city hall to show that it was protected by steal bollards. NBC4 reached out to the city and the mayor for comment.“This is your time Mayor Rex Richardson to step up and be the hero in this story … Make our neighbors feel safe to walk on this street.
