Nadia Gill, host of LBTV's Long Beach Brief, said City Hall will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday and urged residents to check the city's website for full service schedules. "If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year, remember to do it safely," Gill said, noting that residential fires increase during the holidays.

Travelers using Long Beach Airport were urged to plan ahead to avoid holiday congestion. "Arrive at least 90 minutes early, use the available parking structures, and get picked up at one of the cell phone waiting lots," Gill said, noting these steps can ease traffic jams. For full flight information and airport services, she directed viewers to the Long Beach Airport website.
She closed the brief with well wishes for the holiday: "From all of us at LBTV, we would like to wish everyone a safe and fun Thanksgiving." For the official holiday closure dates and any updates to city services, residents should consult the city's website or contact city services directly.
