seriously feels like the sun is sitting directly on my roof in Costa Mesa right now. I don't even want to look at my upcoming electric bill because it's going to be absolute robbery with these new rates

Noticed my AC was fighting for its life yesterday just trying to keep the living room at 78. My property manager is famously useless and takes weeks to reply to anything, so I ended up just having we care plumbing heating & air come take a look before august actually melts us. Turns out the outside unit was just suffocating under like three years of dirt and dead landscaping leaves

just a heads up to check your own units if you rent around here. Paying SCE tier 3 pricing just to circulate lukewarm air into an apartment is actual torture. stay hydrated out there

Hello! Does anyone have any experience taking the adult swim lessons at Golden West College in Huntington Beach? I haven’t found many reviews online and would love to know if anyone has anything to say about it. I’m in my 20s and want to learn to swim for fun. Thanks in advance!

Do any of you by chance remember back in the day, when the Main Place Mall Theater would have the manager (I'm assuming) do these intros before each movie?

I remember how special it felt whenever a big movie would come out and going to a weekend evening showing and having them do this. I remember at one point, the manager or staff member holding a broom before a screening of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Curious if anyone else remember this.

Does anyone know of a store that has used coolers in Orange County? Thanks!!!

It’s our first time going here, so I’m wondering if it’s worth it to get the half day pass? I don’t think we will be there for long, but we do want to experience going to a water park place indoors. If any of you done the half-day pass before, how was it? Is it worth the price? And any tips?

Hello, I am trying to see if there is a community group or org that provides support and services to folks who have moved from Hong Kong (cantonese speaking). As a fellow Hong Kong immigrant, I want to lean in and support newer immigrants as they transition and assimilate. I just remember seeing my parents go through it, and I just want to extend a hand now that I have the ability to. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was attacked by three dogs at the park near the library last Thursday and I'm trying to get in contact with any witnesses who may have seen it happen. If you know anything thing please reach out!
Thanks!

Hi All! I grew in up in Orange County but have been living out of state for the last decade and have just moved back. With that being said, it means that this is my first time back here as an adult. And I feel like the things I loved to do as a kid feel less applicable to me as an adult.

I wanted to hear from locals who have suggestions on what to do. For example, my favorite thing when living in Denver was visiting the botanic gardens, but that wouldn't have have really hit the radar for tourists and I wanted to hear about gems from people who live here.

If you have restaurants or bars or breweries in mind as well, I would love to patronize your favorite spots!

Hello,

For those that have rented a Duffy in Newport? Do you recommend? is it fun?

Should we bring dinner or have dinner somewhere before or after? Please help
With recommendations. For a birthday.

I’m moving to that area in August. Right now I go to Curl in Westminster which is $25.99, a killer deal for how great the gym is. They’re opening one in Irvine but I have no idea when they’re actually opening and so the closest one would be in Costa Mesa. However, that one’s much more expensive and so I’m going to see if I can negotiate a better rate.

Having said that, I want to ask you guys about some backups. I really value good quality equipment and hate seeing gyms full of Hoist, Matrix etc. Any of you guys able to recommend a gym that would be comparable to the Curl in Westminster, only in the Irvine/Tustin region?

(also willing to commute a little farther if I feel like it’s worth it)

As the title says, I’m tryna find some tall men’s boots for a medieval cosplay and my budget is $50. Any suggestions?

Can you recommend a good place to get my cat shampooed? And maybe shave her butt area. She will be difficult I'm sure. Also how much does this cost.

Looking for a local sticker printing business that can print me stickers 3 inch vinyl (and sticker sheets too if possible) by the weekend. LA has some but if it’s closer even better!

I wanted to have a bonfire at the beach on a Tuesday/Wednesday evening. I haven’t done one in years and never in the summer but I’m sure the fire pits fill up quickly even mid week during summertime. Question is am I allowed to bring a portable fire pit that folds with me to use in case the existing fire pits are taken up? Who would I even contact to find out this info? Thanks in advance! Appreciate it! Will attach photo for reference.

Edit: can anyone suggest what’s the best time to go on a Tuesday or Wednesday to make sure I can get a fire pit?

Saw this cop past on the 5 south. Something seemed off about him, clothes seem to flap in the wind like it’s made of
Lighter dress shirt material, the tail lights, no shoulder badge, license place doesn’t seem CA except either.

I tried to get closer without going over the speed limit in case he was real. Are there really losers out there impersonating cops like this to this extent?

Hi all! I feed a local colony in Anaheim and a new kitten appeared last week. She seems to be injured. Her tail is missing, hind legs aren't sitting right and very thin.

I was wondering if anyone knew a rescue that could help trap her and get her some medical care? TIA!

I’m working on a project to identify Iconic restaurants that make South Orange County special, ideally things you can’t get/find elsewhere.

Any ideas?

Hello! I’m looking to find a hairdresser that can give me the kind of haircut I envision! I have super long hair and I love it a whole lot so I want find a good stylist that won’t make me want to cut it all off by the end of the haircut! I would like I guess you could say a super long mullet? I would like to keep the length of my hair but have it shorter at/near my shoulders. The top would be like a 70s shagg cut and the rest would just be my long hair but with a ton of layers! Haven’t fully decided on curtain bangs or something more short. But would definitely want either or! I just want it to look like a 70s shagg but super long! I would also like to be able to style it like the girl with the two braids if possible!! Please let me know if you know absolutely anyone who could make this happen for me! Willing to even drive up to La! Pictures are my inspirations and last 3 are my hair currently!

Timestamp is an hour off, I forgot to adjust for dst.

Hi everyone! I just moved here recently and my boyfriend is looking for a DnD group to join. Are there any open and hosting in-person sessions?
