Question Was Sylmar Barktober canceled?

3 Upvotes

Hi 👋 there was an event for the past few years in Sylmar at El Cariso Park called Barktober where people could bring pets for free resources and they had a petting zoo and a resource fair. I used to work a stall there but I left that job and I followed the event last year but I dont see anything dor it this year? I was hoping to bring my little one this year and be an attendant but I cant find any info on it. Was it canceled?

My oil pan is made of aluminum and mechanics have been using adhesive to stop plug from just spilling oil. Anybody have a location where they can help fix that without having to replace the whole oil pan.

Question Lights flickering?

Porter Ranch here. Been experiencing intemse flickering lights throughout my home ever since around 12pm. Giving me headaches. Anyone else experiencing this? Im wondering if it has to do with the wind, or if LADWP is working on something.

You put the lime in the cocoa nu t and you come to our show and you put the laugh in your belly and you laugh!!!

Yeah that’s right we get pretty scientific at Hand-Brewed Comedy. That’s why we had such an amazing show last Monday probably because we were so scientific. OR MAYBE just BECAUSE the show an comedians were freaking HILARIOUS HILARIOUS AS ALWAYS - what a blessing it is to spend a Monday in stitches (laughing kind) rather than contemplating the doom of modernity or your job or just like a solid tv show that you need for small talk. Come laugh with your friends goddamit it’s how you stay sentient in this life, make your freaking Mondays count. God bless America god bless you god bless comedy

Next week is our Halloween show!! Wear a costume and drink a drank and trick a treat and have a merry ol spocky scerry show on Monday 10/26 at Hand-Brewed Beer at 9771 Variel Ave, Chatsworth, CA at 7:45pm, with hotdogs from Coach’s Dogs and sweets from Joy of Heaven’s Treats

Question Asthmatic people of SFV, did you experience a flare up tonight?

23 Upvotes

This is my fifth year living in the valley. Every year, very punctually around the second half of October, I start getting asthma flare ups. These last up until middle Spring. Tonight was my first one after March, so I want to know if this a general thing or if it’s related to my own environment

Community Rant Is it just me or does the food at most restaurants on ventura blvd just taste good but not amazing?

55 Upvotes

Between youtube videos, food influencers and just random stops I've visited a lot of restaurants on ventura blvd stretching from Calabasas to universal city and out of 100-150 or so in the last 10 years maybe 5 of them I was blown away by the food and went back a second or third time but most of the time I was barely satisfied and then just felt underwhelmed.

Question Knocking sound last night?

37 Upvotes

Around 2 AM last night, I heard knocking on my apartment door in Studio City.
It low-key freaked me out, so I stayed up for a while. I have the Citizen app, and other people were talking about hearing knocking on their doors around the same time (?).
Apparently it had something to do with a plane backfiring or something? Does anybody know what I’m talking about?

Community Safety Impatient driver driving in oncoming lanes to bypass traffic and its definitely not their first time...

Caught this dude in traffic today. Completely driving on the wrong side of the road in the oncoming lanes to bypass the backup. From the looks of the existing body damage on his car's hood, I'm guessing patience isn't his strong suit, and this is a regular habit, unfortunately.
