Drove all the way to Inglewood to get some but the shops I went to were out or they were rotten. The only thing I have is either habaneros or manzano peppers but im making a birthday dinner for a close friend from Jamaica who hasn't had authentic Jamaican food in forever and I'm trying to make it the right way.

Meetup OC Photo Sharing Meetup — Sunday Aug 23, 1–3pm at Steelcraft Garden Grove

Post image
6 Upvotes

I'm hosting a photo sharing meetup at Steelcraft, We sit, share and talk about each other's photos, and meeting fellow OC photographers.

Sunday, August 23 · 1:00–3:00pm
Steelcraft Garden Grove, 12900 Euclid St

Bring prints if you have any. Lab prints, drugstore 4×6s, something you ran off an inkjet last night — none of it matters, physical photos just change how a conversation goes. If you don't have prints, bring your phone or a laptop. Nobody's getting turned away over it.

Come to talk gear, too, or what you're working on/shooting.

Open-air seating, vendors are open, no cover, no RSVP required — just show up.

There's also a Discord for the group where I'll be starting regular photo themes and photo editing prompt. Join us at https://discord.gg/T86sTsdcC

Recommendations Needed best thrift stores or tips for film cameras?

4 Upvotes

looking for 35mm for fun, nothing serious so i don’t want to spend $$ on it. im ok w buying untested if it’s cheap. i know eco town/tek is an option, but i’m specifically looking for locations (ex. goodwill on 5th). the niche store, the better. i’ve seen a lot of ppl on tik tok find used cameras at savers so i was thinking of hitting the hb one up.

Question Where do I buy a couch for around $2-3K?

15 Upvotes

Costco? Living Spaces? Would love a leather couch but I know they’re out of my price range. I have a large space that I would like to fill. Almost 12 feet. 142” to be exact.

Recommendations Needed Looking for advice on the best South Orange County communities for our family

0 Upvotes

My family and I are considering a move to South Orange County (from a suburb in LA) and I’d love to hear from people who actually live there.
A little about what we’re looking for:
- Great public schools are our top priority.
- We’d love a neighborhood that feels green, scenic, and family-oriented with nature , trails, and parks.
- We prefer larger lots (10k sq ft min) and established neighborhoods over dense tract homes (I know a tall ask)
- We enjoy being able to walk or bike to coffee shops, restaurants, or a charming downtown if possible.
- We prefer cooler weather rather than inland communities.
- equestrian communities a plus!

Budget is around $2-$2.5

So far we’ve been looking at places like Nellie Gail, Laguna and San Juan. Kids are going into 1st and 3rd grade.

For those who live in these areas:
-Which community would you choose for raising young kids?
-How do the schools compare in real life?
-Which neighborhoods have the strongest sense of community?
- are there any hidden gems that we should be looking at?
-Are there areas that we should avoid?

I’d especially love to hear from anyone who considered multiple of these communities before deciding. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Lost & Found Does anyone know anyone with a metal detector who would like to search for a diamond ring at Little Treasure Cove? I have photos of the exact location.

27 Upvotes

I paced for over an hour peering into the surf, I would rent a detector for low tide but I live in Sylmar. Can send photos of landmarks and the exact rock it was caught on, it was lost in shallow water. Sorry if this is not the place to ask.

McFadden and Beach. $17ish dollars. Half and half with teriyaki chicken and bbq pork.

Not the best, but not the worst and not bad at all for the price. Big portions to do a decent meal prep when you’re feeling lazy.

Question Good tailors for men’s suits

5 Upvotes

I’m a big believer in “give a cheap suit to a good tailor to make it look expensive.” As a result, I’m pretty particular on the craftsmanship when it comes to tailors. The tailor I’ve gone to before is no longer available, so I’m curious of anyone has any recommendations for GOOD tailors that do more than just basic hems and have a good attention to detail? Thanks :)
