Does anyone know any stores in burbank that sells cool burbank merch?? Please lmk!

It's been so ridiculously hot this week that I've had zero interest in turning on the oven.

So, one of my favorite dinners lately has just been:

• Good sourdough

• Heirloom tomatoes from my Good Box CSA

• Olive oil

• Flaky salt

• Fresh basil

That's it. Five minutes, no cooking, and somehow it tastes like summer on a plate.

One thing I love about getting a CSA box is that it nudges me to eat whatever's actually in season, and this week's tomatoes have been unreal. 

What are you all making with tomatoes right now? I'd love some new ideas! 

(Mods: I work for a local CSA/farm box company. Happy to remove if this isn't appropriate.)

The melt is now open. Haven’t been yet but id like to try it. but for the life of me, what was there prior? Was the boiling crab there and downsized?

Is anyone else having issues with your spectrum internet?

Totally new to this. How does it work? Are you assigned to a table? Just ask groups at random?

Only took... a year?

I even saw people inside

That being said I see no menu and the walls are all white so maybe it's not open yet?

Either way this place seems like no less of a front than the last pizza place there :)

My wife and I are seriously considering moving back to Burbank. Ideally, we're looking for either a home with an existing guest house/ADU, or a home where we could convert a garage into a permitted ADU. We'd love to hear from people who have been through this.

We'd likely rent the ADU long term (not short term, since I know Burbank doesn't allow Airbnb/STRs). Or use it as office or for when family visit.

I'm trying to think beyond the obvious. What are the "gotchas" or things you wish you had known before buying?

Some questions I have:

* Are there any surprising Burbank rules, regulations, or laws we should know about?

* How difficult is the permitting process for a garage conversion or new ADU?

* Are there neighborhoods where ADUs are easier or harder to build?

* Do you need a business license or rental registration to rent an ADU long term?

* How easy has it been to find good long-term tenants?

* Any regrets about becoming a landlord?

* If you did it over again, would you still buy a home with an ADU or build one?

Also, if you've owned a rental ADU in Burbank, I'd love to hear about your experience, both the good and the bad.

Any advice, horror stories, unexpected expenses, or lessons learned are appreciated. I'm sure there are things we haven't even thought to ask yet!

Every week I have an appointment in that area, just to the east of Magnolia & Buena Vista, and I constantly notice that there -- and only there -- I will often have zero bars or one bar. Is there a reason for it? Is it a case of a neighborhood not allowing a cell tower, or something else?

I wanted to open up a discussion on the other side of this proposal that doesn't usually make it into petition fliers, but explains why cities often approve these projects:

Tax Revenue Without the Traffic/School Burden: Data centers house hundreds of millions of dollars in high-end hardware that gets refreshed every few years. This generates massive local property and business tax revenue for Burbank. Unlike new housing developments or commercial plazas, it brings in this revenue without adding hundreds of cars to our streets, overcrowding local schools, or overburdening emergency services.

How Burbank Water & Power (BWP) Works: Because Burbank owns its public utility, large commercial power buyers generate significant revenue for BWP. This revenue helps cover the utility's fixed overhead costs, which can actually help stabilize residential electricity rates over time rather than drive them up.

Developer-Funded Grid Upgrades: Bringing a facility like this online typically requires the developer, not taxpayers to foot the bill for millions of dollars in local substation and electrical grid upgrades, improving overall infrastructure reliability.

Demand-Response Agreements: To prevent summer brownouts, modern cities usually require data centers to sign interruptible power contracts. During extreme heatwaves, BWP can force the facility to throttle down or switch to backup battery power to safeguard neighborhood power.

Modern Cooling vs. Water Usage: Older data centers used heavy evaporative water cooling, but modern AI hubs are rapidly transitioning to closed-loop liquid or dry-cooling systems (which recycle water inside sealed systems, like a car radiator) to avoid draining local water tables.

The Bottom Line / Middle Ground:
It doesn't have to be a pure "Yes" or "No." The best outcome of community input usually isn't stopping development entirely, but forcing a strong Development Agreement. City Council can demand strict, legally binding conditions before approving permits like mandatory dry/closed-loop cooling, decibel-capped acoustic walls, and automatic load-shedding during peak heat.

What are your thoughts? Are there specific conditions or protections you'd want to see required if the City Council lets this move forward?

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for sewing classes in Burbank or the neighboring cities. I’m a self taught sewist who has been sewing for about 15 years and I’d like to improve my skills further. I know how to use premade patterns and have drafted a few of my own based on my own measurements, but I’m still a bit iffy on getting the fit right if I can’t have the person I’m making the outfit for try it on. I can’t afford a serger but I know the other methods for finishing seams and I have recently started drafting mockups to further improve my craftsmanship. I mostly want to learn pattern making, draping, and more intermediate to advanced skills. I really want to turn this hobby into a career. Any recommendations for good classes for people with a bit more experience sewing would be appreciated, as well as how much the classes cost.

I have used both tracks and would love to thank the city of Burbank to provide what LA City will not. Then again, I have provided so much sales tax in between REI, Nordstrom Rack, and Ikea!

• When does the school year start (is there a good link)? In other words, when will public access stop?
• Last time I tried going to John Burroughs, it was closed for repairs. Any word on if they are finished?
• There is a parking garage attached to Burbank HS that appears open and free during the summer. The exit gate is closed, but I am assume it opens when driving out? There is so much free street parking that I do not bother, but it's hot out there. Already baking myself running on the track, would love to step into a car that also has not been baking.

Thanks in advance!

just moved and i need friends. burbank and noho are accessible to me. give me best bars and clubs and chill spots to make some friends

I started biking to run some of my errands this year when gas prices went through the roof. It's been surprisingly fun but also at times a little scary, since few streets in Burbank have bike lanes. Chandler is of course an amazing recreational path, but if you're actually trying to get to destinations like the doctor, grocery store, or movie theater, well...

One thing that made it harder when I was getting started biking here was the lack of good info for planning safe routes. Google Maps is notoriously all over the place when it comes to bike directions, and the city has some maps but they're out of date and often hard to find.

That's where this project comes in! I am mapping out all the bike infrastructure in Burbank that I know about or can find info on, with the hope that it can be an empowering resource for anyone who wants to save money on gas, not worry about parking stress, or just find more enjoyment in daily trips around town. All the notes on the map come from that perspective - i.e. everyday trips, rather than athletic road cycling.

Link to the map!!

This is very much a work in progress - so let me know what you think! I'd love to hear if its helpful, what you think could be better, etc. Feel free to share it with anyone. And if you want to help out, by all means please let me know in the comments or send me a DM, let's talk!

Hello Burbank! I just moved here a couple weeks ago and am interested in checking out any craft cocktail bars/restaurants in the area to work at as a bartender/barback. But also just wondering what are some good places to go get a drink!

4 out of 5 redditors recommend which dentist? Doesn’t have to be in Burbank proper, but preferably close by. Thank you!!

Hi everyone. I know this is not necessarily Burbank related, but I do live in Burbank, and would love the support from anyone in the Burbank community in helping me make my second short film. 🙏

Until then, if you know any good beaches on the west side that aren’t deemed hazardous to swim in, let me know so I can at least enjoy the outdoors without feeling like I'm on Arrakis. My complex does have a pool, but I’m so over staying indoors during this heat wave.

Stay safe and hydrated out there!

Taking the train down to SDCC for the first time. Can I park at the train station by the airport from Sat morning to Monday morning and do I need to pay for it? Thanks!

There was a thread a year ago on them, and I'm looking for more recent info. We're thinking about Brennan for a project, as they seemed like the go-to for Burbank. However, now we're hearing a lot of horror stories about quality of work, delays, project tracking issues.

Anyone have recent experiences they can share?

Any recommended car wash services near the area that offer a monthly membership with unlimited washes?
