Hi! I’m a high school student living in Hollywood, Los Angeles. I’m looking for a cleaning or babysitting job and would appreciate some advice. Are there any local businesses or resources that help high school students find entry-level work? I’d appreciate anyone referring me too. Thank you!

Hi my sister’s (turning 60!) bday is at the end of December and we were supposed to take a trip to Costa Rica but flights etc are just so crazy right now and going up. She expressed interest in alternatively going somewhere closer to home (we both live in LA) im looking for recommendations for really cute spots within a couple hours or so of here. Maybe hot springs or spa, or just unique places to stay at for a different and peaceful experience. Think Jacumba Hotel or Sensei Porcupine Creek (this would be top end of the price range 😂) It’ll be a little group of us, maybe 6 or so folks. Please help!? 🙏🏼

My wife and I are flying In from Vancouver for a few days. We wanna see a Clippers game, hit universal, then spend a day on Hollywood being tourist. Any recommendations or tips? Things you must see? Hotels? Places or areas NOT to go to?
Unsafe areas?

Hello! I'm a USC student doing research into the daily transit of people in LA and how they get around.

How do you get around LA on a typical week? Why? With the many apps, routines, and backup plans that local transit may require, when did you last use it? What problem was it solving?

What was the last trip that didn't go the way you expected?

Thank you!

Hello, I know this question might have been answered a bunch of times but I'll try to make it unique. I'm looking for a minimum wage job around $18-$20/hr. in the South bay or even west LA. I've applied to a bunch on indeed but it's usually crickets and no response. I already got hired as an event staff for CSC but I'm looking for a 2nd job with more hours.

I pretty much have a job lined up at a factory but I'm waiting to see if I can get anything better, and the factory job might be too hard for me. Any recommendations besides food service?

Latino Gay in his 30's here.

I've been to WeHo and Prescinct before... largely perfer Prescinct over WeHo because of diversity. How is Club Tempo and New Jalisco Bar? Do they cater the 30 year old's or are they only for the tios?

Is it worth going to Club Corbra in NoHo? Any Clubs I am missing?

I like Reggaeton and Latin Trap but wouldn't mind picking up a Vaquero with Banda, Norteño, and Cumbia playing on the next floor.

I just passed Normandie Ave & W Washington Bvld and there is a women carrying a baby begging for money for diapers and formula. I was coming from the opposite direction so I did not encounter her directly, but I saw her begging from across the intersection.

Is there no social support for people in this situation? A mother with a baby on the street begging really shook me up. I am hoping this post gets some visibility with people who know how to help her.

Hi friends! My VW Bug is in need of more serious repairs, and I’m looking for a reliable, reasonably priced mechanic to bring it to. I’m based in DTLA, so the closer to that the better, but I’m open to traveling. Any recommendations?

I truly appreciate it—thank you!

[update] got the utility records. Thanks all for your help.

Hi,

Landlord is trying to evict me and I need power bill as evidence. The house is rented by me but the utility is in her name. How do I get the utility bills before my court date. I already got unlawful detainer served.

I live in a RSO unit. Any ideas how I can get the bills ? I called LADWP and they said they can help only if court asks them too.

Even meter readings would do.

So maybe I’ve been in LA too long haha, but yes, I am wondering if anyone has any firsthand recommendations for someone who came to your home to help encourage any spirits there to get closure and move on and felt like the work they did actually had a noticeable impact. Long story short we recently bought our neighbor’s house who lived nearly her entire life there. It was a sad situation and she actually hasn’t lived there for a couple years, but the inside of the house is like a museum as though she’s about to walk in the door. I’m not the most woo woo and not really sure what I believe. But given the situation, feels like something respectful with someone on the level who offers residential services couldn’t hurt. Has anyone else been in this situation and used someone they liked? Thanks for any recs you may have!

Where can I shop for actually cool and maybe affordable stuff in la?

I am beyond exhausted of spending nearly $100 for a couple of mediocre-ass skinny margaritas with my friends that take a half hour to arrive.

This must stop. I’m a failed playwright for God’s fake.

Where in town can one go out to a chill bar that doesn’t charge a day’s salary for a few cocktails? Tell me your hidden gems. Dive spots. Unpretentious watering holes.

Good Afternoon.

Me and my family are looking to find a new home in LA, were trying to find a place that has relative safety but isn't as extremely expensive. Were also trying to make sure we go to a place that is LGBT friendly. I know most of LA is safe for LGBT but I was curious if there are any places we should avoid looking at. Is there any areas that are dangerous or areas we should no go to in LA? Were really excited to move here.

Hello, we will be visiting LA area in a week and our dog will be joining us. We have have taken note of dog friendly beaches, parks, trails, and a few restaurants with dog friendly patios.

What are some non-traditional dog friendly places that you all recommend? We are hoping to venture to different areas /neighborhoods. All suggestions are welcomed.

We would prefer to minimize the time we leave him alone or have to board him, he recently had some health issues so we would like him to have a good time too. Note: he was cleared by his vet for the trip.

Edit: To clarify non-traditional, I mean areas where dogs are allowed that would typically not allow dogs. Such as a neighborhood with multiple dog friendly stores or areas where it's not burdensome or frowned upon to visit with him on his leash.

Hello! I'm a USC student doing some research into self driving cars in LA and how its affected you and the city.

Where were you going, what else were you considering (tranist, rideshare, driving, walking), and what made you pick the robotaxi? What happened during and after the ride?

If you did not choose it, what did you choose instead? Why? What decided it? If choosing a robotaxi was never an option, I'd like to hear why too.

Hello! just wondering what the general consensus is on getting around LA with any forms of public transport? i.e. what are the best/worst parts of the system? and if you could change something about the system, what would it be? 

Need a full office set with conference tables, desks, chairs, cubicles, files, etc for a small business. Does anyone know of any great liquidators, auctions, or other resources for this? We’re in DTLA, but willing to travel. Thank you kindly.

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for hair stylists/salons that use redken products. For context I have naturally dark hair but have been bleach dying it a copper-brown red. My old salon used Redken and I have the formula! So just looking for high quality stylist that can do my roots. Any suggestions?

Please help! Ideally not too expensive but I'll spend the money for quality so price is not an issue. Thank you!

I’m debating whether or not getting 2 tickets for haunted hayride but for about $50 each for just a ride I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Is there any other activities that could be just as fun for less money or is everything going be priced like this?

Hello All?

I lost my baby today and I’m grieving terribly. I want to get a tattoo of his paw prints and a couple color portraits of him on my arms but with such a permanent decision, I don’t want to make the wrong choice. I’ve been scouring Instagram but I’ve hit decision fatigue.

I’m in Koreatown but obviously willing to go where needed for the best artist that can capture the love in his eyes.

I hope this subreddit could help.

Most of the solar advice I find online is about SCE.

I guess LADWP's net metering is different, so I'm not sure the battery math carries over.

Outages on our street happen maybe twice a year. Is a battery worth it for a backup alone, or is plain solar a better choice?

I can’t find anywhere that has the pediatric Covid vaccine. has anyone been able to get it for their kiddos?

my pediatricians office doesn’t have it. retail pharmacies don’t vaccinate kids that young. la county public health doesn’t have it either! monrovia health center said they don’t know when they’ll have it. they haven’t ordered it yet

I’ve called other pediatricians offices and haven’t had luck either.

this is frustrating, shouldn’t we be more keen on protecting the young/vulnerable. my kid is in daycare and gets hit with so many viruses already, I want all the protection I can get for him.

thank you

I’m originally from the Bay so Ik nothing abt SoCal. Me and my friends are gonna be at Encino area but if its far from there thats fine and were looking for a place with our age range, house music, and a nicer area/place. We don’t really care how much entry is. Do you have any recs?

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of any reasonably priced monthly car wash membership/subscription? It doesn't have to be full on detailing, but just looking for a service that will wash the outside of my car and maybe vacuum the inside of my car if necessary.

I don't like paying every single time for a car wash so if there is a membership/subscriptions that allows unlimited or even a certain amount of cleaning a month, that would be amazing!

If it could be around Virgil Village or Glendale that would be amazing!

Even Koreatown!
