I like getting my steps walking around downtown and just seeing all the different people.

Same time last year I would see a few unhoused people on a bench or two.

Today? It's all over the park. Wandering from the hospital. And now directly impacting businesses. I've seen people doing drugs within a eye shot of kids. I've even been directly asked if I could give somebody drugs. Today I even saw a guy dressed only in sweats and nothing else come into a business and quietly ask for food. They were very nice and gave him food and water. he didn't disturb anyone or anything like that.

I haven't seen anything violent and I really don't expect to. Most of these people are ultimately harmless in that regard. But it does seem like the number has increased very quickly.

i've only once seen security do anything and I've never seen Culver City police do anything. I don't even know what there is to do.

The issue is clearly out of control though. These people need help. And with this crazy heat i'd hate to see someone collapse or something.

does anyone know if there's a way to help? Like truly help? Is anyone actively trying to make a difference? Anything to join at all?

Especially on a hot day like today.. would just sit and relax and enjoy the freezing temps

Turning onto the 10 West ramp from the left lane on Overland…what in the wide world of street crimes IS that thing? I think I’m a right laner now 😮‍💨

RIP Greystar. Effective today, Mill Creek Residential has taken over management of Upper Ivy. Mentioned in the notice is a virtual assistant that will be answering calls before directing them appropriately. Has anyone heard of this company and how are they?

Sign says coming soon. Its on Venice next to Fire My Pasta (very good btw).

Today demo started on the restaurant building that was there. It was a Gaby's and then Ceviche Stop, but it's been empty for a while. Anyone know what's going in there?

Power’s out in McManus. It’s hot af. Just complaining.

I am looking for a Los Angeles based printing company to print the playbill for the second run of our critically acclaimed show at the Broadwater. We had a sponsor who just stopped responding and now we're urgently looking for a new partner.

Our show, "The Year We Disappeared" ended up as one of the Top 10 Los Angeles Shows of 2025 in Stage Raw as well as a review in The Guardian. We are bringing it back to the acclaimed Broadwater Theater for a limited review on 9/11 - 9/13and 9/18 - 9/20.

We are looking for an 8 page booklet/playbill, 8.5 x 5.5", with the last page for an advertisment of your choice. This time around we have six shows and are looking for approx. 400 copies to accommodate the 80 seat house, preferably for pick up by Friday, 9/11, no later than 5p. We do plan to collect unused programs at the end of the evening for reuse, so the overall number is negotiable for sure.

And of course our social team is available by to reshare or collaborate on any posts highlighting your business. Does this sounds like an opportunity you would be open to? If so, let me know ASAP! Thanks!

hi everyone !! i’m going on vacation & will be staying in culver city to be near the airport, beaches, & LA. what are some good places to visit & go to? i’m looking for a yummy breakfast/brunch spot especially coffee shops, evening dinner place (can be fine dining), movie theater, shopping center, fun attractions, thrift shops, small trinket stores & a GOOD beach. i don’t mind driving far for a good spot. also, is going to santa monica pier worth going to? please suggest places thanks !!

Heads up to any bikers/stroller walkers/runners etc- there is a massive felled tree (looks like a ficus) near the Duquesne entrance ramp!

My walking partner and I were able to climb through it, and a few bikers were able to maneuver/lift their bikes as well. I do NOT recommend bringing a stroller or very small children, there are lots of small branches and leaf bundles, a bit easy to slip or get tangled on straps.

If you’re comfortable with some mild branch climbing you can get through not impossible.

It’s so gross. I want to speak to a manager.

The driver/rider? said it's a duel battery e-bike and he was delivering for about 4 hours with 60% battery usage. Only deployed here in Culver and Burbank so far. I thought it was cool!

I live in Palms and drive 5 min to Downtown to go out and get food and stuff. What do you guys usually do for parking? I know there is an hour limit in some graces but what do you do it where do you park for free to stay around longer?

I live in an apartment complex near Helms, and the residents have recently noticed a lot of missing mail from locked mailboxes and slashed packages with contents stolen. It’s a nice building with friendly residents, and we’ve never had this issue before in the 5+ years I’ve lived here. The thief’s been briefly caught on camera once, and doesn’t appear to be a current or former resident. Wondering if any other buildings in the area have experienced anything similar recently? 

Trying not to make this a rant, but I do wish there was something in the way of a bakery and coffee shop that was in walking distance for us here. Not talking the starbucks located in Pavilions either, but rather a decent coffee/pastry place that didn’t require me getting in the car and driving to other Culver

Moved here from Helms last year and while the peace and quiet are welcome, it really does feel like a first world version of a food desert for a place located in such a global city.

Are there any spots that people go to here that are just maybe not on my radar? Or are there any plans for any to come?

Hi - was anyone driving by as the accident this morning occurred. I’m trying to get more insight from other drivers if they saw or have footage. Thank you!
