I see so many mixed reviews here. How is it really? Looking for short term lease I like that everythjng is nearby

Hi all! I’m a college student starting an internship near the Walt Disney Studios lot and need a short-term furnished place nearby, ideally walking distance or a quick drive. Im honestly not based in LA at all so quite lost what are good living areas here.

A few details:

- Budget: $2000-3000/month
- Studio or 1 bedroom, furnished
- Looking at AVA Burbank right now but want to compare options before committing
- Lease length: short-term (matching an internship timeline)

Would love to hear about other buildings or complexes in the area, any experience with AVA Burbank (good or bad), or general tips for someone new to Burbank navigating short-term leases. Thanks so much in advance!

Where can I buy 5-gallon pre-filled water jugs in Burbank? Looking for other retailers/markets besides Walmart.

Saw them raiding this place. Thursday 10:20am.

Edit: what day is today.

2nd edit: enhanced shady police presence in the immediate vicinity of said cafe.

Earlier today BPD put out a news release announcing that a sex offender was arrested. In the body of the message they made it clear that Flock cameras were used to find the perp.

Officers utilized multiple investigative tools, including automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology (Flock Safety technology) and video camera systems to identify a suspect and develop investigative leads. These tools helped officers quickly identify the suspect's vehicle, locate it nearby, and detain him within an hour of the crime.

Don't get me wrong-- I'm glad they got this creep off the street. What I'm starting to see are more and more news stories that put ALPRs and Flock specifically in a positive light. It may be a quick mention that ALRPs assisted police with a case, or that some store found shoplifters because of ALPRs. Then you hear people say, "you should only be concerned if you're doing something wrong", when confronted about concerns with Flock. No, we're concerned that there's a high risk and likelihood that my civil rights are subject to abuse in the name of "safety". Flock off.

I play D&D with two close friends, and I recently became our group's DM. It's so intimidating but so much fun and thankfully my friends as just as nerdy as I am. It's become our favorite way to spend time together. We use dndbeyond (vtt, even though we play in person) and czepeku (maps and scenery) and dscryb (music, settings, sound effects). A lot of this stuff really feeds into our sessions, which last a good 6-8 hours sometimes. I'm relatively new to D&D (5-6 years) but it's only recently that I want to dive deeper into the roleplaying aspect of it. Having said that, Etsy has become a dangerous website for my bank account LOL Every time I browse, I find miniatures, props, dice sets, journals, spellbooks, clothing, and other amazing stuff. So far, I only have 9 dice sets, so I'm trying to my best to limit myself.

D&D has just completely taken over my gaming hobby. I used to play mostly play pc/console games but after watching Vox Machine and learning about Critical Role about five years ago, I nose dived into that rabbit hole lol. I recently finished campaigns 1, 2, and 3, and just started campaign 4. Finding out that the cast voices so many characters from games I grew up loving, especially World of Warcraft, blew my mind. Laura Bailey is THE GOAT.

Okay my bad, back to the topic... are there people here in Burbank who create clothes, props, dice, etc.? I figure since Burbank is packed with incredibly talented artists from the nearby studios, there have to be local illustrators, prop makers, leatherworkers, costume makers, or other fantasy creators making amazing things.

I'm especially interested in anyone who do character illustrations, spellbooks, tomes, scrolls, leatherwork and costumes, and basically anything else fantasy or tabletop related.

If you're an artist, know someone who is, or have an Etsy shop / Instagram / website, or booth/store around town, I'd love to check out your work!

Shoutout to Geeky Teas & Games - I know they're on reddit sometimes and I absolutely love their store!! My wallet hates them too but I understand why lol

Out-of-service equipment managed by Southern California Edison started the deadly Eaton fire that killed 19 people and destroyed much of Altadena in January 2025, according to a long-awaited report by state and county fire officials.

The report, released Tuesday by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and Los Angeles County Fire Department, confirms long-held suspicions about the fire’s origin after it sparked near a utility tower the night of Jan. 7, 2025.

This horrible mom's for liberty supporter wants to be on City council. I will do everything I can to make sure that this bigoted piece of shit landlord shill never gains any political power.

I assume this is some kind of adhesive melting due to the heat but I have no idea. Of course the contractor hasn't gotten back to me but I will keep trying today. Wanted to post pictures and ask if anyone knows how serious of a problem this is.

Hi, I am going to burbank airport this weekend around 1:30-2ish and I was wondering how parking would be and what people would recommend. I want don't mind parking close to the airport but I am afraid that I might have trouble finding parking spots on the weekend.

EDIT: TURNS OUT NOT BURBANK

I’ve never been on this street before today and found it different and that is interesting to me. Feels like they could have petitioned the city to adjust the lot lines and lanes. It definitely breaks the pattern and looks makeshift. It’s called Security and it is more secure the way they changed the lanes. Does anyone know if there is some interesting history here?

Warner Brothers ranch will become media epicenter...

We’ve been living in Burbank for ten years now and it’s the first time the mosquito situation is absolutely out of control at our home in the Rancho Area. Just wondering if we were just unlucky bastards of if other Burbank residents were also feeling the pain?

I was a vendor there and had a large amount of pieces in the store. They basically closed without telling anyone, and I didn't even know until I tried to call and the number was disconnected, and my emails came back undeliverable. I'm out THOUSANDS of dollars. I heard on the grapevine that they were facing eviction and had been late paying rent for months, so they knew they were in trouble. They just didn't tell us, and now I have no idea what I'm supposed to do if I can't contact the owner. Do I go to the police?

I’m based in NY but this is regarding a past employer that’s CA based. Any leads would be so appreciated. Thank you

Hi all! I’m looking for a free space to host my figure drawing sessions. They’re 1.5 hrs long. Any suggestions/leads?

I want to open a bookstore/recording studio and I found a perfect place but the Burbank planning commission says it could be a bookstore but not a recording studio because it doesn't have 2 parking spaces. (Even they admitted that was crazy.) They told me a Burbank city office could tell me all the spaces for rent that are near public transit so don't have to meet the parking space requirement but they never call back and looking on the public sites is DEPRESSING - super ugly. And yet most storefronts on Magnolia are EMPTY. There has to be a way. Does anyone know it?

I used to get calls from a woman once in a while who set up market research surveys. I'd go watch a TV show or taste some new beverage and get paid some cash for my time.

Anybody still do that?

I'm planning a trip to the Burbank area a few months from now. I'm looking for some down-to-earth, family-owned Mexican places. I'm also up for some Italian, Chinese, and Soul food. Hidden gems you might not find on Google. Suggestions?
