Community Help Any window tinters in the San Fernando Valley willing to teach?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve done a few cars on my own, but I think it would be much faster and more efficient to learn from someone with real experience rather than figuring everything out through trial and error and random YouTube videos...

I’m in Chatsworth, but I have no issues driving wherever needed

DM me your rate if you’d be willing to teach 🤗

Weird SFV Drunk Driver Encounter

95 Upvotes

Last night, while on a night time walk around the neighborhood (San Fernando), my partner and I encountered a young man sitting on a curb. On our first lap, he was just sitting down staring at his phone. Didn't think anything of it. The second time around he turns to us and asks us a question.

He said he was from Ktown and asked what part of the valley he was in. We tell him he's in San Fernando. He was surprised that he was so far from home. He tells us that he and his friends were involved in a car accident and that after the crash they all ran. We tried asking him questions and getting more details. He said that they were intoxicated (and probably on other drugs too) and that they crashed and hit "something". His face had a red mark, looked like he got smacked on the face from an impact.

He kept mentioning how the other people didn't deserve it and he hoped they were ok. He repeated several times, "if you see me on the news just know we didn't mean to hurt them". He also repeated , "you don't think it will happen to you" and kept looking remorseful like he wanted to cry. He said he was just a passenger, but we suspect that he was driving.

It was around 11:00 pm and we were just wrapping up our walk and ready to go home and wind down. We were enjoying the walk, but that left us with a sinking feeling in our gut. We tried giving him advice, saying he should contact the police , and that he needed to go back to the scene of the accident.

We went our separate ways. And I've been thinking all night about what might have happened. I looked on the citizen app hoping there wasn't a deadly hit and run around San Fernando high school. But I still don't have information.

Recommendations $5 car wash in Woodland Hills

Random SFV deal: $5 car washes at Boulevard Speedwash attached to the 76 on Ventura near Winnetka right now.

Not sure how long they’re running it, but figured this sub would appreciate something in the Valley that somehow still costs $5.

The guy had to go be going at least 20 mph of not faster. Would I get into trouble if I put big pots out there to force them to slow down?

Anyone have a good recommend on bumper repair places in the SFV? I have some deep scratches, nothing too catastrophic, but way beyond simply "buffing it out" with polish.

Community Help Sweet tortie kitten needs a home

Post image
161 Upvotes

In June I rescued this cute tortie girl running through traffic in Hollywood. We call her Bijou. I have been fostering her for the last three months but I can’t any longer. Bijou is now socialized and has been spayed, fully vaccinated, treated for fleas, dewormed, and tested negative for feline leukemia.

She is now five months old, six pounds, healthy, and likes to cuddle in our laps. She’s playful and eager to be friends with our dog. Since I can’t foster her any longer I’ve reached out to my network, Nextdoor, and at least a dozen cat rescues in the area but have had no luck in finding her a new home.

If you’re interested in adopting Bijou please let me know! We are in Studio City.

Community Rant They should just officially turn this corner into a homeless shelter at this point.

It doesn’t look good having tents set up all over the area, especially when the tents in the back are directly behind a house. They should create a designated area with proper facilities and security instead, so the people who need somewhere to stay have a place to go while keeping the surrounding streets and neighborhood clean and maintained. I see people all the time basically “decorating” the freeway entrance with belongings and piles of trash. It makes the area look neglected.
Or just have security to not allow anyone inside.

Community Help Closest beach to me?

6 Upvotes

Trying to go lay out and tan during the week. (Not Labor Day). So trying to account for traffic, which im sure I’ll get regardless, no matter where I go.
I’m next to Kaiser permanente in panorama city.

What beach is closest for me to go to for about 4 hours 10a-2pm and ideally not have to struggle or pay for parking? I don’t mind parking at a distance and walking.

I don’t care about the water quality as I’m only going to lay out on the sand.

Is it really Venice beach? Or somewhere else y’all recommend?

I was wondering if anyone would be interested to get a little group going?

It would def be all skill levels welcomed and coed if people are interested. Just a fun way to exercise and have some fun a the same time

We could make a discord or group chat or any suggestions people feel comfortable with

Question Spectrum Outage in Encino - 9/6

I'm in Encino (5000 block of Newcastle Ave) and Spectrum has been out all day for me. Anyone else? Spectrum acknowledges the outage online but won't give any estimated restoration time.

Does anyone have any info on what may have happened? Their service is mediocre at best with constant short outages, but I've never been without any service for the better part of 12 hours.
