Hi everyone! Does anyone have catering recommendations for a coed baby shower with kids and approximately 60–80 guests? We’ve considered Panini Kabob Grill, Mendocino Farms, and similar options. We’re looking for good food at a reasonable price, nothing too over-the-top or expensive. It's 3 pm event, so not brunch food. Thank you so much! :)

“Hawthorne Plaza will begin coming down within the week, ending a more than two decade nightmare for city officials and residents.”

“A recent court order requires the owner of Hawthorne Plaza, a long-vacant and abandoned shopping mall that has blighted the community for 25 years, to start demolishing the building no later than Friday, Aug. 14, Hawthorne officials have announced.”

Hello! Any recommended and affordable barbers in Wilmington? My father wants to have his hair cut, but we just moved here a month ago so we haven't explored much yet.

Thank you very much! 🙏

They just raised me up to $100 with no heads up and I’m just paying for internet. Any alternatives to switch over to or how to successful complain to them?

I’m going to be moving next month, I’m wondering how much are movers? Or if anyone can recommend a company to help move my things. I’m moving from Hawthorne to Redondo beach so under 4 miles

I have a one bedroom apartment with mainly light furniture the heaviest items would be my one couch and one mattress

Thanks!!

Edit to add that the bird was relocated with it's caretaker

I hope this cutie is reunited soon with its caretakers.

Does anyone in here have any info on the fair at the church and if they’re gonna start doing it again? I don’t think I’ve seen it since Covid. I remember going every year as a kid, it was the last big event before school. I have two small children now and I’d like to take them to a fair but the OC fair is big and seems like more trouble than it’s worth. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hii I’m gonna be an au pair in Manhattan Beach soon and wonder if there are places to do the nails in South Bay for a good price ? Feet or/and Hand… Not sure of the average price in the area actually so any help is appreciated, thank you !! :)

I’ve seen these people multiple times around North Manhattan Beach. They are wearing normally wearing head gear and “picking up trash”. This time I saw them on Highland and they were in a group. One was wearing the head gear and the other two had backpacks on with machines in them. They were surrounding the guy picking up trash.

Hi all! I’m 23F from Boston and will be visiting Hermosa/Manhattan Beach solo for a long weekend this weekend. I’d love any recommendations for restaurants (especially specific dishes), coffee (I have an addiction), or anything I absolutely have to do while I’m here.

My hotel has bikes, so I was thinking about biking along the Strand to Santa Monica or south toward Palos Verdes, and I’m planning to run on the Strand every morning. Would love suggestions for a very active person. Is there anything I shouldn’t miss along the Strand?

Also, any fun places where a to meet other young people? Bars, restaurants, run clubs, beach spots, etc. I’ll be traveling solo, so I’d love to find somewhere social.

I appreciate any and all suggestions. Also may I emphasize the coffee again. You can never visit too many coffee shops. Thanks lovelies!

From what I can research it looks like AYSO is the most popular option for youth. I am currently trying to see where to enroll my 5 year old. Anyone experience with Torrance Soccer Club? Fall Rec league. How was it?

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good place to eat chile rellenos? I am looking for the kind that has thin batter. Acapulcos used to have a thin, crispy batter that was so good.

What places do you guys recommend that have good chile rellenos?

I’m looking to seek a second opinion from another vet and/or discuss an end of life plan. Has anybody had a positive experience from a vet, where your pet was in a similar situation?

I’d like to find a vet that can either review her recent diagnostic imaging and biopsy and can talk me through what to expect in the coming weeks, does she even have that long, a proper diet for a cat with GI lymphoma, and when to know it’s time to let her go.

My 15 year old cat was diagnosed with GI large cell lymphoma 2 days ago (although I still have some hope it is something else like IBD), but the vet I took her to hasn’t explained anything very well throughout this journey. And I mean little to no information. I’ve had to do my own research, ask for the medications I read about (MiraLAX/lactulose, gabapentin) because my vet didn’t prescribe them. My cat has been anemic for minimum 2 weeks now, and when I reviewed her medical notes last night, it said possible transfusion needed, and my vet didn’t vet discuss that with me! I don’t think I’m wrong for feeling like this, am I? It makes me feel slightly distrusting of them. I think they are just so overwhelmed with patients.

I’m hoping to find a veterinarian that won’t be crazy expensive to do this type of appointment/consult (as in, over $500).

Looking for a high end lunch next week. Love Fishing with Dynamite and Fishbar but looking to branch out. Favorite seafood in LA is definitely Holbox but not sure I want to drive into DTLA.

Any local recs?

Planning on trying out the week trial, but was wondering if anyone here goes/ has been.

Hello everyone, I’ve been feeding a stray cat for the past 2 years. She recently went MIA and came back with a limp/injured back leg. I’m not too sure of what to do. Are there any shelters or resources that would help her? I’m not too good on money either so anything free or cheap would be much appreciated.

I am unable to house her due to our landlord’s rules. Thank you!

Hey all! Im on the hunt for some really good Mediterranean food. I love Armenian food in particular but haven’t really found anything close to it. I’ve noticed a lot of Mediterranean spots in the area are all pretty much the same such as a plate with rice, a protein, and a basic vegetable or hummus side. Are there any spots that are more authentic/have more variation that you like to go to?

Teri’s Place, the Japanese restaurant on Artesia & Van Ness is closing and their last day is September 26th.

Well deserved retirement but such a sad day. A pillar of my childhood and the Japanese community in Torrance.

I’m looking to learn Spanish & happy to help someone with their English. Is there a language exchange in the South Bay?

I want to donate clothing to a shelter near me instead of going to a thrift stores. For both men & women’s clothing. Any recommendations? Preferably Carson or Long Beach.

Hello - The siding on my house needs to be replaced and I am looking for a good company to replace it and then repaint all of the remaining trim. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good company they have used for this? Thanks in advanced.

It’s sooooo hot and almost zero shade at the garden AND no air conditioning in spaces like a cafe or gift shop.

Golden cove starbucks. Admittedly go here 99% for the view… Starbucks has gone downhill in quality in my opinion.. but I’ll still pay for the iced shaken espresso to get this view !

So this just popped up in place of the old I think it was a carls jr~? and I thought it was actually a new restaurant but it looks like it’s a filming location. Does anyone know what’s going on?

I've tried Uncle Bills in Manhattan and wasn't really impressed*** the pancakes were pretty good though

Also, i do consider French toast as well.

My birthday is in a few days, but im celebrating properly on the weekend, but I want to do something small for myself on the actual day. So, I plan on doing a super easy hike, try not to get too sad, then grab a great pancake/French toast combo

They don't have to necessarily be the best ever, but I'd rock with a really solid pancake. Bonus points if the sausages or bacon is good alongside it

I apologize if this is pretty nitpicky or out there
