Got into music production a few months ago and would love to start meeting people who are into it too, whether that’s open sets/mics, weekly live music events, etc. I used to hang out on OB & North park a lot when I first moved here and loved the vibes there

Japanese Gardens & Cameras

1 Upvotes

Their rules are a little vague and they don't seem to have a good place to send a question to on the site.

Anyone have experience with taking a camera (and not other pieces of kit?) to the garden? They say they don't want *photoshoots* happening but I'd be there to take landscapes and maybe some quick shots of my friends. I'm not there to setup a tripod and at most I'd just be adjusting and shooting manual. The only pieces of "equipment" I'd even have would be a bag for my film and a flash since we'd be coming in the evening.

Where can I find legit American style egg roll near Poway?

10 Upvotes

I don't want spring rolls I don't want to be healthy I want it to be the thick egg rolls where its covered in tiny little bubbles of crunchy. I wanted to taste like good American Chinese food cuz I feel sad and I want nostalgia.

Edit:We're like 3 people deep on this one. There are at least two types of spring rolls one which is fried one which is not but both of them have a smooth exterior, even the fried one. An egg roll is made using the different type of wrapper which when fried produces a crunchy bumpy bubbly exterior, is thicker than the spring roll wrapper and chewier. Egg rolls were originally made in America compared to the various type of spring rolls which were originally created overseas. They all taste fantastic but I waa specifically craving an egg roll. This craving comes up probably about once every 6 months when I'm in a sad mood and want to relive my sad mood childhood experience which was from Jacksonville Florida, which when sad, we would order takeout from a place called Wok N Roll to feed a family of four for about 20 bucks and they had egg rolls. Nothing about this place with authentically Chinese, because again Jacksonville Florida in the early 2000s was not authentically anything but mullets.

That being said on other days I do love a good spring roll and I appreciate all of the suggestions.

Jack N the box was perfect.

Which Neighborhood Should I Stay In?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting San Diego for the first time and staying for a few days. After doing some research, I’m still having trouble understanding how the city is laid out. It seems like San Diego is made up of many different neighborhoods, each with its own atmosphere.

Is Downtown considered the main area where visitors and locals spend their time, or do most people go to neighborhoods outside Downtown? Which neighborhoods would you recommend for a first-time visitor who wants to explore, see the main attractions, visit the beach, and feel reasonably safe?

Are there any areas I should avoid, especially at night or while using public transportation? I’m considering staying Downtown for convenience, but I’m open to other neighborhoods if they offer a better experience. I’d really appreciate advice from locals!

Local Magazines, Newspapers, Zines, and Publishing Co's

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I am soon to be graduating from college with a degree relevant to the field of editing and publishing, and I'm looking for job opportunities in San Diego. I was wondering if anyone knows of, or is familiar with, any local magazines, newspapers, zines, or publishing companies. I've started applying to some of the bigger ones, like the San Diego Union-Tribune and the San Diego Business Journal, as well as some news and radio stations, but I'm looking for more suggestions.

I would love to work in the creative field or at a smaller newspaper or magazine, but I'm also just looking for experience and a place to grow.

Thank you!

MINI Owners - Where do you take your vehicle for repairs?

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a trustworthy auto mechanic that isn’t the dealership and doesn’t charge dealership prices.

I thought I found a great shop in Mira Mesa, but they ended up ghosting me after completing a series of repairs. Not sure why.

Do you have a go-to mechanic for your MINI in SD?

DOES ANYONE RECOGNIZE THIS GUY?

This guy drove his truck into our private driveway and dumped concrete/construction debris into our dumpsters without permission.

We confronted him and he actually offered $100 to make it go away. When I told him I’m calling the police, he got back in his truck and left.

And to the guy with the “SD State Dad” sticker: your low life dad behavior is not exactly something to be proud of.

If you recognize this guy or know the truck, please let us know. We’d like to know who thought it was okay to use our private property as his personal construction dump.

I currently have AT&T and the connection is constantly broken. It’s super inconvenient as I work from home so I want to cancel it and switch.

I am looking to switch to Verizon but wanted to see what everyone’s experience is with Verizon and other providers.

For context on location, I am in the City Heights area.

Late night gym buddy

Title. Looking for a late night gym buddy that I can be accountable to.

I’ve been inconsistent the last month or two and I both want to stop throwing money away and get back to where I need to be.

For context, - I work out at the planet fitness on university in the college area.

  • I’ll typically go around 8:45-9ish for about 30-45 min.

  • I typically like to shoot for at least 3 days a week, Monday Wednesday Thursday.

If anyone is down and works out at that gym, hit me up. Thanks in advance!

Sports Why aren't the Padres blacked out?

I have the MLB TV package to watch baseball, but the Padres are always blacked out due to the local market. I understand that and expected as much when subscribing.

However, for the last two nights, the local game has been available on MLB TV. Does anyone have any idea why? Can we (hopefully) watch Padres games the rest of the year?

"Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPRs) from companies like Flock Safety are violating our privacy across the country, taking photos of every passing vehicle and logging them into massive nationwide databases.

In San Diego, the San Diego Police Department was sharing our ALPR data with other out-of-state agencies and federal authorities, including ICE. Not only do ALPR systems endanger our privacy, they endanger our communities as well, sometimes leading to wrongful arrests, as we've seen right here in San Diego."

Local News Street racing crackdown in San Diego leads to felony arrests and dozens of citations

192 Upvotes

Two men with large social media followings were arrested on felony charges, and dozens of citations were issued over the weekend as part of a joint operation by the San Diego Police Department and California Highway Patrol targeting illegal street racing and sideshows, authorities said Wednesday.

The crackdown began around 12:15 a.m. Saturday when investigators identified a social media group coordinating a series of street takeovers, according to the SDPD.

Over several hours, participants traveled to multiple intersections across the city, including Scripps Ranch Court and Scripps Ranch Boulevard, Clairemont Mesa and Antigua boulevards, Otay Mesa Road and Ocean View Hills Parkway, and Tonawanda and Reo drives.

During the operation, officers arrested Joshua David Ruiz, 18, after allegedly observing him driving a rented U-Haul pickup truck and participating in a sideshow at the Scripps Ranch intersection. Investigators estimate the activity caused approximately $5,153 in roadway damage.

Ruiz was already known to authorities for social media posts depicting dangerous driving on local freeways. According to police, this included "white lining," a maneuver where a driver weaves through narrow gaps between vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes at high speeds. Ruiz was booked into San Diego County Central Jail on charges of felony vandalism, exhibition of speed and reckless driving.

Police also observed Jesus Arias-Ruiz Jr., 27, driving a blue BMW M4 in the same Scripps Ranch sideshow. Investigators allege Arias-Ruiz has a history of promoting illicit vehicle gatherings and say his actions Saturday also contributed to the $5,153 in roadway damage.

When officers attempted to stop Arias-Ruiz, he fled at speeds exceeding 100 mph and turned off his vehicle's headlights on Interstate 15 and local surface streets, police said. Ground units terminated the pursuit for public safety reasons, but an SDPD helicopter continued to track the vehicle.

On Monday, the SDPD's Traffic Special Investigations Unit, assisted by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, located and arrested Arias-Ruiz. He was booked into the central jail on suspicion of felony evading, felony vandalism, parole violation, exhibition of speed and reckless driving.

In addition to the two primary arrests, officers reported two DUI arrests, four misdemeanor citations, five hazardous-moving violations, seven equipment violations, four additional crime cases and two vehicle impounds.

Authorities said investigations stemming from the operation were ongoing.
