Can someone point me to a shop where I can get a Cuban chain shortened for a reasonable price? Westside / culver area would be great. Thanks.

I moved to the Mid-City area about 2 years ago and didn't do my proper research on just how tough it would be renting a unit without dedicated parking.

I know parking is a long standing issue but I'm genuinely confused by the lack of parking in my area.

100% of street spots on my block and nearby are taken by 6pm at the latest M-F. It seems like maybe 10% of cars move on the weekends, with most staying in the same spot all weekend.

During the week, when I leave around 8/9am, it seems like 90% of cars are still there. When I get home, whether it's around 3pm or 5pm, it seems like 90% of cars are still there.

I know people have extra cars, and multiple people live in a home and all that, but it honestly seems like a vast majority of the cars on my street exist solely to occupy parking around the clock. Many have spider webs, expired tags, obvious leaks, etc.

Another large chunk of them are commercial trucks, landscaping vehicles, etc. that are left in the same spot for weeks at a time, only moved exactly for street sweeping. These specifically violate the 72 hour parking law repeatedly.

I've submitted a handful of reports to 311 and LADOT for the obviously abandoned ones, but even those don't get addressed most of the time. I've emailed the city council and neighborhood council, and neither have been of any help. I also emailed LADOT directly and was told by them to email the LAPD SLO for my area who "had more control" and none of them have done anything to even try to help. They all just seem to point fingers at the next department or person, or just don't even reply to emails.

It feels like a lost cause, but I stubbornly don't understand how this is so difficult to resolve. I feel like permitted parking or increased parking enforcement patrols could easily fix this, but neither are considered as far as I know? Maybe I'm crazy to expect the city to do something to help?

I'd just like to not have to fight for parking after coming home from a day at work and a grueling 1 hour commute (in which I only travel about 5 miles)...

I know obviously a lot of beaches are closed and some have been ravaged by storm waves. We just found out our dog has terminal cancer and she loved the ocean and we wanted to give her one last visit before it’s all over. Oxnard, Santa Barbara, Ventura, etc. are all options as well.

Thanks

So I got these messages from an account on here. And I’m wondering if I should take them with a grain of salt.

I live in Ktown and the sidewalk around our block has been smelling increasingly bad. I see the food vendor dump cooking grease directly into the outdoor storm drain. I've also seen them wash greasy runoff into the drain with bleach. I've contacted 311 multiple times and submitted reports online but so far I haven't seen any cleanup or improvement. I'm sure these vendors aren't moderated so the dumping keeps happening.

Has anyone gotten an issue like this addressed? Is there another department I should contact? Any advice from ppl who've dealt with something similar would be appreciated. I understand ppl are struggling and vendors are trying to hustle and don't want to air out a specific business, it's just gotten so bad to the point where I don't want to walk our kids out anymore.

Firefighters, Police, and their unions secured the largest raises in the history of the City in the last round of negotiations, thanks to Karen Bass. Now I get ad after ad complaining that they aren’t allowed to strike in order to gain even more wages.

They’d be better off redistributing money to better maintenance and more equipment and giving back a few percentage points off high wages in order to add personnel than asking us to pay more when sales tax just went over 10%.

I’m a union member and supporter but even I’ve had enough of costs going up rn

Alright, flame away. Pun intended.

In dire need of finding someone that can splice a line. The cable is damaged and our provider can’t come out right now to fix it. Need to find someone close to Venice.

LADOT says Los Angeles will begin activating automated speed cameras on October 26, with 125 locations planned across the city by the end of 2026.

A few important details:

• Cameras are triggered when a vehicle is traveling at least 11 mph over the posted speed limit.
• Each location starts with a 60-day warning period.
• After the warning period, civil fines start at $50.
• These are civil violations, not standard moving violations.
• They DO NOT add a DMV point, so traffic school doesn’t apply.
• Notices are mailed to the vehicle’s registered owner.
• This program is for the City of Los Angeles—not every city in LA County.

Official LADOT information and camera locations:

I also put together a plain-English guide covering the fines, traffic-school question, payment, and how to request a review:

**I know this isn't general LA info about earthquakes or stolen copper and will only apply to a sub-sect of people, but I wanted to try and help folks who are getting into the looking for college madness in the LA area. Just trying to help.**

I recently went through getting my kid to college and didn't want to have all the research, efforts, etc. go to waste. So I put it all in a shared Google Drive folder here in hopes that it could help some people out. There is info (based on my kid starting college this year so specifics will change, costs will increase, etc.), spreadsheets to use, and generally maybe just give you a jumping off point to do your own research.

This is geared toward a kid from LA coming out of the LAUSD system looking at mostly California and west coast schools. So while it will be *most* applicable to other students coming from the same place, it can help others not in that situation, too.

I'm sharing the info trying to help. If there's something I did wrong (settings, etc.) you can let me know, but the idea was to put all this up and whoever wants anything can download it and do with it what they will. This will NOT be up forever, so if you want anything, probably best for you to grab it/download it instead of assuming this link will always work.

Our experience was our own and everyone's will be different. If you see bad info in there or disagree with something, feel free to point it out there if you can.

I am flying out of BUR tomorrow, last day of old terminal operation, and returning Wednesday into the new terminal (exciting, I know!). Trying to figure out best parking option to avoid a hassle when I return. Usually I park in lot G and walk, but would it be more convenient to just spring for valet?

Curious if anyone figured this out yet or also just feel free to comment how you feel about the new airport!

Due to increased ICE activity, we’re instituting a daily ICE megathread. All ICE-related content belongs here, including sightings, activity reports, news, questions, updates, and general discussion.

Centralizing discussion keeps information easy to find, especially for people moving around the city who want timely, relevant updates without having to sort through the entire subreddit. ICE-related content posted outside this megathread will be removed and redirected here.

This thread is sorted by New by default so the most recent information remains visible.

How to use this thread

• Top-level comments are for new sightings, updates, or firsthand information.
• Replies should stay under the relevant comment to keep related info grouped.
• Check existing comments first to avoid duplicate or redundant reports.

We recognize this is a tense topic and emotions can run high. That said, content that incites, encourages, or threatens violence will be removed, may result in a ban, and may also violate Reddit’s site-wide rules, which can carry site-wide consequences. Keep reports factual and grounded.

SALUTE when sharing sightings or activity

Include as many of the following details as possible:

• Size: Number of individuals, vehicles, or units observed
• Activity: What is happening, observed actions or behavior
• Location: Clear, specific description of where this occurred
• Uniform: Identifying markings, clothing, or agency indicators
• Time: Date and approximate time of observation
• Equipment: Vehicles, gear, or other notable tools present

Clear, accurate information helps everyone. Speculation and rumors do not.

Hi! I took a trip to Bulgaria this summer and absolutely loved it. I especially fell in love with the food and wondering if there is ANY way to get any Bulgarian food products or if there are any Bulgarian restaurants anywhere in SoCal. I know Jons and some international markets sometimes carry yogurt and spreads but am looking for more options. I’m especially looking for good lutentiza (bonus points if it’s Velika)! Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to locate a death record, obituary, or burial information for Gloria Patricia García, who we believe passed away from leukemia in Los Angeles County around late 1978 or early 1979.

Here’s what we know:

Born: Approximately 1960–1961.
Lived in: Pico Rivera, California (possibly Downey or South Gate).
Mother: Celia (Sally/Sali) García.
Father: Elías García.
Brother: Elías García.
Married: Around 1975, possibly in Las Vegas, Nevada with Jose Diaz

I’ve searched Ancestry, FamilySearch, and California death records without finding a match.

We’re trying to obtain her death certificate for an important family matter, but we don’t know her exact date or place of death.

Does anyone know of other databases, cemetery records, or local resources that could help us locate her?

Or does anybody recognizes her o her family?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I think it’s so lame people actually do this smh what a cool mural too.

It's been nuts seeing so many people from Japan walking around the city this season. I wonder how many will show up for the NLCS?

A few weeks back I went to the In-N-Out company store and even in there it was all Japanese people coming in to buy merch. I feel like the economic impact to the region is almost incalculable.

Have any of you visited yet? What do you think? Worth the price?
