There is still a location in Pasadena. One of the best burgers ever and pie to die for.
I lived in Long beach for a couple of years, then I lived on Seal Way in Seal Beach until 1974. That's beach front property, but my little apartment was a converted garage. I didn't care. I only slept there.
I don't remember Russell's unless it was the place with the Danish crackle buns.
I think that the confusion on my part is caused by the fact that you said that you said you travelled from Ocean Beach to Marin with a detour to Long Beach. The only Ocean Beach I know of is in San Francisco.
