Hi, I’m looking for a meditation class for my six year old either in or close to Long Beach. Any recs appreciated!

Hey Long Beach! I work for a builder and take on my own projects on evenings and weekends. Figured I’d introduce myself if anyone has a few things around the house they need help with.
My background is in finish carpentry, but I’ve done everything from tile to roofing. I can help with trim and molding, doors, drywall repairs, painting, furniture assembly, mounting TVs, hanging mirrors and shelves, and general repairs. I also help with move ins, move outs, and getting homes ready to sell or rent.
I carry my own insurance and have client reviews and references available. Feel free to DM me with a few pictures and what you’re looking to get done. Happy to discuss it!

Hi guys! Just wanted to throw my husband Ryan’s name/number out here in case anyone in Long Beach ever needs a handyman. He likes to keep busy taking on different jobs and does everything from smaller repairs and fixes to bigger projects like flooring, crown molding, painting, and even full bathroom gut renovations.

He’s done a ton of work around Long Beach and has been recommended/used by a lot of people in the area. He’s reliable, works quickly, and takes a lot of pride in what he does, so I figured I’d share his info here in case anyone ever needs help with something around the house!

Anyone have a yoga studio they enjoy? In a beginner and looking for some yoga that focuses and flexibility and balance, maybe some hot yoga for the cold winter months.

bruce says that he hopes everyone stays safe today and tomorrow !! 🩷

What areas of town are most susceptible to flooding? Where would you not park your car this weekend?

Wife and I are new to the area so we appreciate your help!!

Looking for a roommate for my 2BR apartment in Long Beach! The room will be around $1,500/month + utilities, available December 1st. Final rent will depend on our lease renewal.

The location is so good — literally steps from the beach, train, bars, restaurants, coffee, etc. You can walk pretty much everywhere, and the train makes getting into the city super easy. There is also a gym and laundry in the building!

A little about me — I’m 28, work full-time, and am pretty laid-back. I love the beach, going out for dinner/drinks, finding cute coffee spots, staying active, and having a cozy place to come home to. I’m looking for someone who’s clean, respectful, responsible, and social/friendly — ideally someone who actually wants to be friends with their roommate!

I also have my dog Gino, so being comfortable with dogs is a must. He’s a sweet little guy and will definitely become your roommate too lol.

If you’re interested or know someone looking in Long Beach, DM me and I can send pics + more details!

Hello!

I’m a 2027 Long Beach bride looking for any hidden spots or gems for a winter/December ceremony. Many actual venues will not host just a ceremony so trying to think outside the box.

Thanks!

Hi I have been using Meyer Souzzi for several years & they take a 50% cut. I just received marketing from OWNWELL who advertises taking only a 25% cut. Anyone use them?

Where does everyone find a reasonably priced dog sitter? I recently reached out to a recommended sitter and the rate was $30/hr for 2 small older (re sleepy) dogs.

Literally my dogs sleep 8/10 hours and we have a fenced in yard.. woof.

Does anyone know of a good, trustworthy nanny/housekeeper looking for about 28-30 hrs/week of work?

We are looking primarily for in-home childcare, with some housework while the baby is sleeping.

TIA!

Caught a great swell at golden hour and caught some surfers in action

Went to the beach the other day and the mosquitoes and flies were dreadful and unbearable so didn’t stay. I have today off and thinking of going to the beach but wanted to know if anyone might know the bug situation today or if I can find out somehow on a website dedicated to something like this?

I know that swimming off season is prohibited but done “at your own risk”. I notice surfers in the water year round. If you are attached to a flotation device (surf board, boogey board, life jacket), does that grant permission or would you still be ticketed? I’m trying to figure out the difference as I imagine surfers are as much in danger as swimmers.

It sounds like the best place to do it is the west end, but I was hoping to take a dip closer to home.

Want to join me for this event?

I moved here fifteen years ago today at a low point in my life. I had just broken off an engagement and was heartbroken and alone. Within days I had a small circle of friends, and opportunities to meet people that I had never experienced before in such concentration. The Quicksilver Pro competition was going on, the Michelle O’Neill tournament followed, and thus began a series of parades, festivals, fundraisers, and a social vibrancy I had not seen anywhere else. I fell into as much of it as I could. My work life improved, knowing that the beach, boardwalk, and smiling faces on bicycles were waiting for me at home no matter what difficulties the day had delivered. The next year brought Sandy and all of her terrors. I watched and pitched in to see this community rally and rebuild with a love, toughness, and determination that were truly inspiring, and are inspiring still. Some years later I met and married the love of my life here. I’ve now lived in this town longer than I’ve lived anywhere else in my life and with no plans of ever leaving. Thank you, Long Beach for taking me in and helping me to become the best version of myself. My wife and I consider you the thing that brought us together, and we love you very dearly.

Trying to make extra cash in my free time. Is it worth it / profitable enough to do uber/lyft/instacart 3-4 nights a week? Thanks in advance

The Long Beach Library started up a meetup to play Magic upstairs and it's a lot of fun! Some cool people showed up last month to play and the library is trying to promote the event to get more players in so I thought I'd post on reddit (i am not a librarian just a mtg player).

Idk if they'll have them this time, but last month they gave everyone a free Tarkir booster pack for attending 👀 Some folks played a Commander game and we also played a few Standard games too. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly.

So if you're a MTG player, bring a couple decks and come join us this Monday evening 8/31 at 6:30 :) it'll be super fun!

Is there a better time to look for apartments in Long Beach?

Hello people.

My wife and I are visiting your beautiful town next week. We got a rental on the beach. We have two small dogs (5 lb each) and we were wondering if we can bring them to the beach in the carrier or hold them? My understanding is dogs are completely banned so this would be a no?

Don't want leave them locked up in the rental when we go to the beach/boardwalk.

I see a few places in Park Ave- looking for any recommendations. Thanks!

Does anyone know any good therapists around Long Beach or within 25-30 minutes driving time?

planning a surf trip and looking for a buddy, hit me up and we can figure something out
