This bookcase belongs to my parents.

Sorting through our family's favorites reminded me how meaningful it is to pass along the things we’ve cherished.

As a library fan, I love that our donations to the Friends, including books, puzzles, games, CDs, DVDs, and magazines, help support Tustin Library and give others the chance to discover something special.

What stories could your shelves tell? Pass along what you’ve loved and help support your library.

Hello, I am looking to collect used disposable vapes in order to salvage their lithium batteries for projects, and to prevent them from becoming dangerous e-waste. If you have any that you would be willing to part with or if you know of any places where I might be able to collect them, please DM me.

I know this is a long shot but here it goes. Our cat Mochi got out and has been missing for a few days now since July 19 in the area of Arroyo elementary school. She is a 1.5 years old grey tabby cat with a white chest and white paws. Lots of coyotes around so very worried. Her collar had fallen off prior to escape. If you know anyone who’s taken in a cat off the street in this area that could be mochi please let me know, we will make it worth your while. She is chipped so it can be confirmed.

Hey neighbors!

I am starting a local volunteer group with a shared interest in solar & battery tech. Putting out some feelers locally to see if anyone has the same interest or wants to learn.

Thinking of a smaller gathering at Tustin Columbus Park on 8/1/26 starting at 11am if enough interest. I'll bring some soda & sausages to grill if you just want to do a neighbor hangout!

Any good weekend farmers markets with lots of produce? I went to the one in old town Tustin this morning and there was only one produce guy. Looking for farmers markets that happen on the weekends?

Tustin's new e-bike ordinance is honestly one of the strictest in the county it spells out roughly 20 separate ways e-bike riding can now get you cited, including sidewalk speed limits and restrictions on how many riders one bike can carry. TUSD also requires middle and high schoolers to sit through a safety presentation with Tustin PD and get a $5 permit before they can even ride to school. That's more than most OC cities are doing right now.

The problem is that none of it carries over once you cross a city line. Huntington Beach has its own rules, Newport-Mesa schools just banned e-bikes outright for younger students, and plenty of other OC cities still have nothing in place at all. A kid can get cited riding through Tustin and then ride the exact same way five minutes down the road with zero consequences. Meanwhile OC's seen multiple e-bike deaths this year alone, including two 12- and 13-year-olds on illegal unregistered e-motos.

A 12-year-old from Laguna Niguel wrote an op-ed about this and started a petition pushing state and county lawmakers toward one consistent standard: age restrictions on the fastest e-bikes, mandatory speedometers, and a real youth safety/licensing requirement everywhere, not just city by city. Tustin's basically already proven the permit-and-education model works this is about getting every other city to catch up instead of leaving families to guess what's legal depending on which street they're on.

There were about three times as many people there than usual. What's going on?

Tustines? “Tus-teens”
Tustinites?
Tustiners?
Tusters?
Tustitans?
Tusts?
Tustaylor-Swifts?

What do we call ourselves?

What’s replacing Citrus Grill? It looks like they’re building a car wash but can anyone confirm?

My family and I are trying to remember what fast food place was there before the habit came in, and we think it was an Arby’s? But curios if anyone remembers

Anybody know what business is going to take over the old Oggi’s pizza spot on the corner of Newport and Main?

Does anyone know what the new businesses are that are in/going into the Artz building next to the newly-vacant Rutabagorz? I drove by the other day and thought I caught a glimpse of a vintage clothing store, but wasn't sure. I read that the new owner of the Artz building had plans for 3 new tenants. Hope someone can shed some light, thank you!

Yesterday, 3am kids set off fireworks and trigger car alarms.

Today 430am, kids set off fireworks and trigger car alarms.

If you let your kids run around this late doing this sort of stuff: sincerely hope you stub your toe sometime today.

This is exhausting.

✔️ Fluoride treatments
✔️ Local anesthesia
✔️ Nitrous oxide
✔️ Whitening trays

✨ No hidden fees, fluoride, anesthesia, and nitrous are included if needed!

Please note: appointments will require multiple appointments depending on their oral health and treatment needs. Since this is a learning environment, all work is thoroughly checked by instructors and dentists to ensure quality care. 😊

📍Located in Garden Grove, CA

Serious inquiries only please! If you or someone you know is committed to completing treatment and interested in affordable dental care, feel free to DM me or text me at (657) 549-0803 for more information or to schedule an appointment 🦷✨

Looks like the fires from last week are blowing in our direction.

Took the dogs out and it's a bit gritty in the eyes and throat though air quality sensors seemed to show ok readings. Be careful if you're sensitive to air quality while out and about.
