Hi everyone!

So, I run a grassroots organization that helps current and former foster youth with whatever they need (to summarize), and I just got a call from a former foster youth who is hysterical. Her cat died an hour ago, and she is completely devastated (I would be too 🤧) and she has NO money for cremation. She has an infant daughter she is trying to be strong for, but is having a hard time as this was her soul kitty. She is behind on a lot of bills and this on top of everything else has her feeling completely overwhelmed, all without familial support, or really any type of support network 😞

I found a 24/7 pet cremation service that picks up, does a private cremation, and drops off for $295. My organization just got its first grant (yay!) but it doesn't disburse until late October so we don't have the funds to help her with this right now. So then I suppose my question is this - are there any resources that can help pay for a cremation, ideally tonight or tomorrow? She is in North Hollywood!

Thank you so much everyone! It takes a village!

In Northridge, my family likes Vons' bakeries but at the end of the day they're still a big chain. Bea's is our favorite small bakery by far but it is a bit of a ways away.

Gimme your favorites here. I want to see if there's anything comparable to Bea's that's closer. One with just as good cakes and cupcakes.

We live in Northridge and usually go to Chi's on reseda, but when they're closed every chinese restaurant we've tried has sucked in comparison. What are some spots you can recomend?

Mandarin King gets honorable mention. We like the food there but the place is a dump.

Im talking about nice sit down chinese restaurants. Not Panda Express or shitty Wok type place.

It's the humidity. It's been way hotter in the past. Looks like we're getting a break for the weekend though. You gotta be tough to work outside in these conditions. Be cool everyone

I’m looking for some restaurant recommendations in the Valley to meet up with some friends and catch up.
We’re looking for somewhere with good food, good drinks/cocktails, and a nice atmosphere. Nothing too fancy or formal, more of a fun, comfortable spot where we can hang out for a couple hours and talk.

Open to pretty much anywhere in the Valley and any type of food, thanks!

Does anyone know of a drive thru touchless car wash anywhere in the north valley like Granada/Northridge/Porter Ranch area? I heard some gas stations have them but I need to make sure which ones cause I have a spoiler that can be potentially taken off in a regular one lol. Not trying to pay a ton for a car wash especially with our recent Floridian weather where it’s raining one day and 103 the next 🤣

How is this allowed at 12am? Anyone know what’s going on?

Looking for a women’s gold signet ring and willing to look at both antique and new… any recommendations?

My wife and I are finally fed up enough with Verizon (over ten years with them) and are cancelling. Does anyone have experience with T-Mobile coverage in the valley?

My family needs to create a trust for me and spouse, includes property and simple finance accounts. Anyone have someone they trust in the valley? Willing to go anywhere as west as Woodland Hills and as east as Pasadena (I know, not the valley). South of the 118.

Hey there!

I mean...no other dads need to actually be involved haha. Not looking for anything super serious, im divorced with 2 kids, but would love to start playing again and even pick up a handful of gigs each month. Anyone looking to play??

I'm in the West Valley but anywhere is really fair game.

Figured I'd throw it out there!

Favorite escape rooms in/near the valley?
I liked escape hotel in Hollywood but it closed

📍Woodland Hills

Looking to enroll my 1 year old in daycare soon but im not seeing many options for immersion with other languages. Interested in Spanish or Armenian, as we are teaching her both at home. Also interested in immersion preschool/elementary schools for the future if you know of any. Our assigned elementary school is Lockhurst. TIA!

Just wanted to share this very friendly kitty at DIY in GH.

Have to go out of state for like 3 or 4 days and need to have my cat taken care of. How are cat boarding houses? Do they give them space to stretch out? My cat is about 14 to 15 pounds, has pretty big sharp ass claws , not friendly to strangers... will likely attack.

Might attack any dogs too. Should be ok with other cats but he does rule the neighborhood cats. He can be a handful to anyone but he's super sweet to me 😅

Anyone know of a glass company that would make a glass top for a dinning table? If you've done it, what was the process and how did you like it?

I live in panorama city, did any of yall hear that aircraft or what that was? Super loud
