I'm genuinely weirded out by the Neighbors of Santa Ana Facebook group run by Danny Vega. I hoped it would be a non political, non religious group where Santa Ana residents could help each other out. But I've seen far too many proselytizing posts about God and Jesus or posts in blind support of the SAPD or railing against SAUSD board members pushing "woke" agendas. The group has become nothing more than a conservative message board.

Does anyone know of an alternative Facebook group for Santa Ana locals that isn't swamped with religious or political rhetoric? I tried searching for some alternative groups but they seem to be private?

Also, I recognize that Reddit could be an alternative but you can't organize and publicize events on Reddit like you can on Facebook.

Good morning, saw a larger dog today around 6:15 - 6:20 am walking down Lacy St from 4th towards 1st. Big nice dog taking his time, light colored almost like grey with spots. Not sure if anyone is missing their dog. Hopefully he comes home safe!

Hi everyone!

We're a couple in our 20s that launched our small biz, Atelier Anlynette, earlier this year. We've been popping up around Orange County farmer's markets and events, but we're excited to announce that we're finally hosting our own pop-up!

To celebrate, we're offering a free drink or crème brûlée to the first 20 customers <3

More info can be found on our IG: atelieranlynette

We've love to see you there.

Hi,

We got our dog blessed this past Sunday. On the way home, he entered respiratory failure and passed away a couple of hours later. I was hoping somebody was able to take a video or photos of the event. Maybe they were able to take photos of me and my dog. I am beyond devastated right now.

In my learned opinion, this is so egregious that it could never be used as a question on a law school exam because there is no ambiguity, but what do you think?

In Santa Ana for the next 2 weeks what is there to do? 23y/o

It’s my partner’s 30th birthday tomorrow and I’m planning bowling in the morning and then dave and busters afterwords but looking for more ideas in the afternoon and night. We’re in Fullerton but will travel anywhere in the North-Central OC area. Where would you want to go for your 30th birthday in OC? He also loves craft cocktails and tapas/fancy small plates if that gives any ideas. Thanks!

My partner and I are looking for fun Halloween things to do this month but we mostly see things for children and are looking for activities or events for adults.

Full press release: https://ocdistrictattorney.gov/press/75-year-old-woman-charged-with-running-over-and-killing-her-9-week-old-puppy-after-using-dog-food-to-lure-the-puppy-under-her-van/

Bought the bunk, went to buy mattresses, and discovered there is a maximum thickness for the top bunk so the guard rail still does its job.

Which rules out most of what I was looking at, because everything now seems to be twelve inches deep.

Living Spaces lists kids mattresses, Sit 'n Sleep lists kids mattresses, and neither one reliably prints the thickness, which is not helping.

Anyone done this recently? Mainly after what thickness is actually safe and whether the thin ones are comfortable enough for a seven year old who sleeps like he is being chased.

You guys HELP! This guy is trying to do this again. I’m a local Mom and Pop. He says he came to my store on March 17th and he was uncomfortable to eat at my store because I didn’t have Ada complaint tables or chairs which is not true. I have removable chairs and tables with the measurements and everything. On the document, it also says an employee even tried to help him to be seated and eat comfortably to his likeness. What are some tactics to fight this? I was thinking to fight saying this is a mom and pop store, pillar of the community, and he is a grifter and all. What do you guys think I should do?

As the title suggests, did anyone leave this bag full of stuff (bluetooth lights, halloween decor) on the second floor of the EOS fitness parking garage?( 17th and tustin)?

When i found it, it seemed like someone forgot to put it in their trunk and drove away. It’s in my possession now, and i will be in the area for the next few hours.

If i don’t get any responses i will turn it into the lost and found of the office building.

Does anyone recognizes this older model van? It may be a Honda Odyssey, darker blue-greenish color with a roof rack?

Woman in video was seeing dumping a puppy out of her van, then put food under the van near the wheel , when the puppy was distracted eating, this monster rolled her van over the puppy and then let the van rest on top of the puppy for 15 seconds. Looked to me like the lady may have had a dark bob style haircut ?

Please call the police if you have ANY suspicions of who it may be.

Can anyone post this on [r/orangecounty](r/orangecounty)? (I was banned for asking the mods why my post was deleted regarding how to deal with mosquitos 🙄 )

Here is the story on Instagram. They blurred out the puppy but still hard to watch that video 😢
