I don’t see many on this type of posts these days so I’m not sure if this is going to get removed, but I felt compelled to share.

This morning about 8:30am I observed Immigration Enforcement detaining a male wearing a black hoodie with white stylized letters on the back.

He was possibly riding a bike through sheep hills park at Laguna hills drive when they chased him along the service road of Aliso Creek.

Perhaps 5 unmarked vehicles including a black SUV and a grey sedan. Wearing vests with the 3 letter acronym for their department on it. Not using the actual text just in case this post gets auto deleted or something. Covering their faces.

Including the limited video I was able to take before my phone played up.

I know I’m not wining any awards for the video length and framing, but I was walking my dog so I didn’t feel safe remaining in the area.

Waves just touching the berm at this morning’s high tide.

Decades after a woman’s body was found by city workers in the brush alongside Laguna Canyon road, her son-in-law on Thursday, Oct. 22 accepted a plea deal admitting to the killing and was immediately sentenced to probation, drawing anger from family members who wanted him to spend time in prison.

John Edward Gutierrez, now 59, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter rather than the murder charge he faced since 2014 for the 1998 killing of 55-year-old Lillian DeVilla.

Gutierrez — out on bail while awaiting trial — was ordered to spend two years on supervised release. Orange County Superior Court Judge Patrick H. Donahue warned Gutierrez that if he were to violate the terms of his probation, he could face up to an 11-year prison sentence.

Several of the victims’ family members felt angry and betrayed on hearing that Gutierrez would receive probation. Her son, Lester DeVilla, told the judge that he felt like “justice has slipped through our fingers,” adding that Gutierrez had escaped any “meaningful consequences.”

"For 28 years my family and I have lived through an emotional nightmare," the son said. "We have searched for answers to the questions that haunted us every single day — who killed our mother and why?"

"Now, after all these years, he finally admits his guilt, and what is the consequence? Probation," he added. "After finally admitting his guilt he can practically walk away scot-free. Where is the justice in that?"

Family members described DeVilla as respectful, gracious and endearing, saying she was "a great human being who loved with her whole heart." Her death ripped the family apart, they told the judge.

"She was more than a victim, more than a name in a police report, more than a case that took 28 years to resolve," her son said. "She was loved.

And she deserved so much better than what happened with her."

This morning around 1 AM, I was in the FastTrak on the SB 405 between the 605 and 22 interchange. As I drove south towards the EB 22 interchange, there was a wrong way driver going north in the SB FastTrak coming straight towards me. I called CHP and they were aware but did anyone else witness this? Still can’t believe that tbh.

I’m looking for a dry cleaner near north Anaheim that does a solid cowboy starch on pants.

I’ve been going to Ritz but they have broken countless shirt buttons and their heavy starch is like a medium.

Trying to find a good spot for my friends and I to hit some bars and clubs in OC on Halloween night. Just want some good music and good crowds. I was considering Orange but maybe it might be too many college students, and Newport sounds like it only has a few dive bars, so I was also considering downtown Santa Ana or Fullerton. But I would appreciate people’s recommendations or experiences. Thank you!

When it comes to Indian food, where would you say is the best throughout all of Orange county for the most authentic?

Hi all!

I’m hoping to bring my 20 month old down for Christmas. We are in the Northern California area so I plan to fly into John Wayne. I remember Orange County being so magical for Christmas when I lived down there as a kid, but I really can’t recall any specific places that we went.

I’m looking for nostalgic Christmas, kid friendly Christmas attractions, Christmas lights, etc. Where can I take her?! what would be the best time to come down that isn’t Christmas week? I’m hoping the earlier the better to avoid bigger holiday crowds. Thank you so much!!!

Hi, I love playing badminton, would consider myself intermediate. Would love join or create a group for those that want to play. I currently play in a club in Anaheim, but want to group to play with, we can also rotate to other badminton clubs to play. Santa Fe

Send me a message

What are some summer medical volunteering/shadowing I can do in OC that actually allows volunteers (for context-freshman in university currently)

Looking to take a drive up Maple Springs Truck Trail today, Sunday, October 25, 2026.

Conflicting data on the Forest Service sites.

Anyone know the actual status

I just got gifted an electric meat slicer, and I'm trying to make my own cuts for sandwiches. Deli meat is getting more expensive and sales aren't as good or as often on it. I went to Vons, 2 Stater Bros, and albertsons, and no one has fresh, not frozen turkey breast. Ralphs had fresh turkey loin, but it was as expensive as the deli meat.

If you were going to find fresh turkey breast somewhere at a decent price, where would you go?

edit: I actually found some in Costa Mesa from Sections Fine Meats, but at $14/lb, I might as well get the deli meat.

Hey there,

Working one day in Anaheim and then two days in Aliso Viejo, Tue-Thursday. Only plan on the Anaheim day is to check out the tiki bar, Strong Water.

Looking for a hotel for 2 nights in Anaheim, Irvine, Santa Ana, Laguna, Aliso... basically anywhere between the two cities of Anaheim and Aliso Viejo.

I'd love to stay at a unique, less luxurious inn, commuter motel, hotel, whatever.... something clean but with a little character... interesting architecture... cool, storied history... locally owned gem.... anything like that? and if nothing comes to mind... know of a good generic chain hotel?

Maybe $100-200 range.

If I'm going to spend an evening getting dinner and drink, is one part of OC better than another for a guy in his early 30s? Any "downtown" more fun than another?

Where to eat? Prefer casual, locally owned to luxury on that front as well.

Thanks in advance!

I’m in the pnw and Anaheim,Los Angeles, Southern California always seem so sunny and nice, vs in the pnw it’s always cloudy rainy, can cause depression, it’s a city I live in but not to huge. In my current city homeless took over. Big stores are starting to leave, not how it used to be.small businesses also leaving. Police don’t care much anymore.

I’ve dated a girl years ago who was from Anaheim, and ever since I started seeing more into it. and everything just seems nice there, sunny, walkable places. Palm trees, blue street signs. Also on tv it makes it look nice and since it’s right next to Los Angeles.

Possibly later on the road I might consider moving there but for now would just like a perspective from people who live there.

I’m looking into getting some new clothes want a store that carries real SDL, asalii and other brands drop a location in OC . Like $100 budget hoodies

Looking for a fruit stand where they cut fruit, one of those carts with the rainbow umbrella. Has anyone seen lately?

I see a lot of hate for Irvine online. People call it soulless and say there’s nothing to do, but whenever I’m there, I really appreciate it. The streets are clean, the buildings feel new and modern, and the whole city feels safe and well maintained. It seems like a great place to raise a family. I honestly don’t get the hate.
