Snoop Dogg and Willie McGinnest Come Home to Long Beach

Two Poly high Jackrabbits have long wanted to do something to help the kids from the neighborhood where they grew up.

Finally there is a project  that will work for them. It is the construction of a $140 million dollar Community Center that will be constructed at the old Hamilton Bowl at Walnut Ave and Pacific Coast Highway next to Long Beach City College BTD Campus. (Where Park’s gasoline used to give away a new Cadillac every three months.)

Rapper “Snoop Dogg”  (AKA Calvin Broadus) and 15 year NFL star Willie McGinnest are just two of many Poly High graduates to make it to the “Big Time” but they both agreed this would be the ultimate “big time” for them.

Willie and Snoop appeared with 6^th District Councilman Dee Andrews , also a track star at Poly and CSULB and NFL, and Snoop Dog spoke to the audience and said that he is going to produce and release a song and all the proceeds will go toward the construction and could be as much as $10 millon. The Salvation Community Center will be known as the “Kroc Center” since the late widow of Ray Kroc, McDonald’s heiress, Joan Kroc, made a very large donation toward the construction of the center.

McGinnest remembers playing baseball at Hamilton BowlSnoop Dogg said “it would mean the world to me to also put on a benefit concert at the center.”
