WESTWOOD-Mr. Carter gets his teeth fixed, needs some drugs and gets some info. "Went into the Longs atop the Ralph's, Expo and Best Buy stores this morning after a visit to UCLA dental center, and the person at the register mentioned that if I had any prescriptions here that it would be transferred downstairs to the Ralph's pharmacy as their Long's store would be closing in around 2 or so weeks - no final date certain she said... Next to leave is probably the Expo store, which was rumored two years ago, and I would guess would still be appropriate today, as the whole concept is floundering more than the Depot parent wants to admit."

SANTA MONICA-Mr. Carter does a bit more digging and finds that three Longs are closing shop, one in Woodland Hills, the Westwood Longs and another in Santa Monica. All will close within the next few weeks, except for the Santa Monica location which has a few extra days. [Contra Costa Times/CurbedWire Inbox]
