Owner of a small Venice coffee trailer here, so take this with context, but I’d add Saint Maxime Coffee on Rose Ave if you’re exploring Westside coffee.
We’re not a laptop cafe or a big shop. It’s a small Airstream coffee + matcha stop, more like “grab something special and walk around Venice.”
If it’s your first time, I’d suggest:
Fig Leaf Creamtop Cold Brew
Strawberry Matcha
Mascarpone latte
560 Rose Ave
I like to be open on Thursday
ladies and gentlemen, my eyebrows need to be fixed. I have eyebrows like glorious leader, Brezhnev. does anybody?? have someone who’s really good with men’s eyebrows thanks.
I’ve never gone to the Wednesday Farmers Market, but have heard the tales of how amazing it is for people in general, but especially chef’s and those with a culinary background.
I was thinking of going today but unfortunately I’d never be able to make it until about 11:30-Noon due to work on Wednesdays and I’d hate to make the trip down there and most vendors are sold out of their prized ingredients.
Has anyone gone around multiple times and noticed there being a bid difference in ingredients available?
Thank you!
We’re so excited to see the new community garden coming along so quickly (on 19th street, just north of Pico)! Our new neighbors shared at a recent sustainability event the grand opening will be held in mid-June (see last image for details) but we couldn’t resist sharing this progress pic (taken yesterday).
I'm on the west edge of sawtelle/SaMo line. I just went on my balcony and it smells heavily of something burning - almost like firewood. Anyone else smell it?
Hey, just moved to Santa Monica and looking for a good (a big plus if also affordable) vet for my small dog. Mostly general checkups, vaccinations etc.
Google Maps only shows a very few places with really great reviews, so curious where you guys actually take your pets.
Also, any good 24/7 emergency vets? The only one I found so far that looks really good is Veterinary Emergency Group.
How many years has it been since World Cafe closed? 15? Now I see what appears to be construction. Found this article

Just a few weeks after unanimously resolving to limit screentime in the classroom, LAUSD has already proposed and is evaluating a plan for next school year: https://edsource.org/updates/lausd-unveils-preliminary-plan-to-curb-screentime?fbclid=IwY2xjawR525hleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFLTDZUWW03YlZUUURCQXRzc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHm0RSfTvgWEr_jlTbrfn8bYa48kpk0uzhf8WR09EHZW8mtr04JatNwfbWHMQ_aem_TnlkXftYU7ugrcq8UKzUpg
Highlights: The proposed guidance includes limits and recommendations on screen time, including:
--A limit of zero minutes per day for early education through first grade
--A limit of zero to 20 minutes per day for second and third grade
--A limit of zero to 30 minutes per day for fourth and fifth grade
--Recommended 60-120 minutes per day for sixth through eighth grade
--Recommended 90-180 minutes per day for ninth through 12th grade
The proposal also changes the default to avoid 1:1 take-home devices, unless parents opt their child in. And personalized learning that took place for kindergartners and first graders will now be led by teachers instead of i-Ready.
Please Dr. Shelton, and please SMMUSD, don't convene a committee and spend endless meetings debating what we should already be doing -- and what our neighboring district will be soon.
Some areas, like Northeast Neighbors, have zero affordable housing complexes. Why does the city council allow economic segration like this continue?

Things are looking up.
Have any of you ever been told this by the SMPD? I called their non-emergency dispatch and they told me they already got multiple calls, visited, and when they found out it was the city, they determined there was nothing they could do. Nobody in my household is getting any sleep until they stop. It's a huge truck that looks like they are sanding down the street. But it's LOOOUUUUDDD... Grr.
Hi all, does anyone have recommendations for a good/affordable place for car window tinting in Santa Monica/Venice/Marina ?
Thx in advance.

Hi all! I'd like some suggestions/tips on how to deal with our current situation.. We moved to the US recently so it's kind of hard to navigate things at times.
So basically it's now been almost 3 months that we've had no electricity in our unit. This has started on February 24th when there was a fault in the system and the electricity just went off. The landlord has since been very nice: he provided an outside cable through the door (such that we could connect fridge, internet and like a lamp) and has been updating us promptly as it seems a kind of a big job to get this fixed.
He said that at first he had to prepare a working plan to be submitted to some Santa Monica planning authority and that then, after this is approved, his electrician can start working, otherwise he could get fined. So this is why this is taking long: 1 month to prepare this plan (submitted about two months ago) and now we wait.. he said it's not up to him anymore and that the city has to approve this which can take some time. What should we do on the rent? Are we entitled some credit or even to not pay it? Even though there's this cable that keeps the fridge and some other appliances on, it's starting to feel a bit hard at this point and we're not even sure the thing will get sorted soon. So how to approach this, what are our rights? I'd like to keep things peaceful but also this is becoming tough. Thank you to anyone willing to advise :)
Was on my way to work this morning and spotted a coyote with a broken leg running around. Keep an eye out. Poor thing.
We live in an old, smaller house in Sunset Park. It was fumigated before we moved in a dozen years ago.
About six months ago, we had a swarm of termites going in an out of our exterior, wood siding for a few days. They then disappeared from our sight. Now, we've had a swarm of flying termites inside around the baseboards of our bedroom (about two dozen at a time for two days). I've seen termite droppings in our garage and underneath a wood window sill, but can't see where the termites might be in our walls. Should we:
Get a termite inspection before tenting our house?
Hire a fumigation company now to tent our house, and maybe treat the ground as well?
Do nothing?
Thank you for any advice and good experiences with companies!
