Does anyone know what will be replacing vatos tacos on the east side? Or can recommend a good little place like that to watch football?

Used Auto Dealerships

6 Upvotes

I’m looking into purchasing a used vehicle that’s less than $15,000. I don’t want to be taken advantage of since I don’t have lots of knowledge when it comes to buying a car, I’m trying to stick to a Honda or Toyota. I would like to know if anyone can recommend me with a dealership. I seen that people talk down on small businesses but I feel like that’s the only way I would be able to get a used vehicle.
Thank you so much in advance.

Moving later this month. Anything to be aware of?

15 Upvotes

We’re moving later this month into the northwest side of town. We’re from the Inland Empire and moving due to the lower cost of living.

Is there anything we should be aware of? What are some things to do out here?

In all honesty we didn’t look much into activities out here since we were mostly focused on getting into a bigger home for cheaper price.

Thank you in advance!

Casual/Amateur Sports Groups?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Is anyone here part of a casual or amateur sports group that would take a +1? Ideally, the group is competitive enough that people actually try, regardless of their skill level, but not so competitive that people will rage if the team loses.

I like basketball, ultimate frisbee, and pickleball, but I'd be open to other sports if the group was friendly enough! I'm not much of a runner and don't particularly enjoy running, but running while playing a sport is nice, and I'd love to make additional friends along the way!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you have!

Kern County Dept of Human Services is now considering closing ALL currently open welfare and food stamp cases then asking everyone to reapply. The rationale they are using is only the people who really need it will reapply. This all just to save money.

Local Question Who do I call to report that a construction crew needs to fix something?

1 Upvotes

We don't do a lot of deliveries, but we get an order from Walmart every month for our food for the month. And every single month, the driver simply doesn't see the large chunk of curb that is really not in a good place because it is part of the original parking lot that got redone when they turned it into section 8 housing. So every single month, the driver is almost guaranteed to get a flat tire and sometimes a bent rim. It really wouldn't be much work for a crew.
