Public comment will be heard tonight at the LeRoy Jackson council chamber, 3031 Torrance blvd, at 6:30 pm. Comments can also be emailed to CDDinfo@TorranceCA.Gov with subject "Prologis Del Amo and Prairie Center Project" — your written comments become part of the official record. Please speak in favor of the "No Project Alternative."

Hi! I’m getting ads for Mom Said Yes on Instagram for their events. I wanted to see if folks recommended. Looking for opportunities to see live music in the Southbay if you have other recommendations:)

Hi all,

I am looking to buy a suit or two for some future job interviews and have them tailored. I don't think I am ready at this level in my life to drop $2,000 per suit, but I do want to look sharp. Does anybody have recs for a tailor and suit store? Thank you for reading.

around 40miles including local and 405.

assuming like 8:30-9am arrival, how long does the traffic take that time?

have a week long conference in irvine and want to see if it makes more sense to just book a hotel there.

Hey everyone! I grew up in Palos Verdes but now live in Texas, and I still get cravings for some of my favorite spots back home. 😅 I’m looking for someone who’d be willing to ship things like salsa, etc. I’ll cover all costs and compensate you for your time. I’d also be happy to send some Texas goodies in return! Let me know if you’re interested. 🙏

I know, I know. Another year, another ants post.
But this year has been excruciatingly painful for us. We are officially at war.

We have scouts coming from every tiny nook and cranny of the house, non-stop. I’m constantly on patrol, but there’s only so much one man can do. Eventually, they breach the perimeter.

Before I know it, there’s a massive ant trail marching across my house like they’ve got a fucking reservation. Then it’s another 15–30 minutes of cleaning the trail, wiping everything down, and securing the perimeter… only for them to launch another attack two hours later from a completely different location.

We are meticulous about not leaving crumbs or food around. Yet somehow, these little bastards find something (or apparently nothing) and decide, “Yep, this is the spot. Let’s build a highway.”

At this point, I’m ready to surrender to the ants. I don’t even feel like it’s my house anymore. Every moment is psychological torture. It’s not a matter of if more ants will come, but when. I am ready to give up and go live by the train tracks at Wilson Park.

Is this normal? Manhattan Beach is full of skunks this summer. My dog got sprayed tonight, a friend’s dog got sprayed a month ago, CVS and Walgreens were both totally out of hydrogen peroxide which is a main ingredient in homemade skunk wash for dogs. A friend of mine even caught a glimpse of a skunk INSIDE a classroom at Meadows over the summer.

I only moved here a few years ago but I definitely did not seem like as big of a problem last summer.

Thankfully we found a mobile groomer who does 24/7 emergency de-skunking and worked a legit miracle on our fluffy doodle, but man. What’s up with all these skunks?

As the title says, looking to play some more MTG with a dedicated pod. I do go to collector legion in Hawthorne from time to time, but a lot of pods usually wait for their friends or are full.
I play B3, chill person don’t really get too competitive. Would love to join / start a dedicated pod. We can hit collectorlegion or if you wanna meet up at a different LGS, do lmk!

Does anyone have any experience with this charter school? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

The left hand turn signal to get on to Artesia from Aviation is frustratingly short. It’s actually extremely aggravating especially during rush hour. Anyone else experience this lovely failure of civil engineering?

Like a small percentage of the cars in the lane are able to get through (3-4 average) when the line gets like 3-4x that length. I wouldn’t rant if it wasn’t something I experience all the time when making this turn. I can’t be the only one right?

Finally found (via a friend) a great Chinese restaurant located in the South Bay. “Spicy Chinese Kitchen 湘蜀小馆 (Chick Go),” in South Torrance, tasted authentic, fresh, and full of flavor! This is no Panda Express, it’s on another level.

I know it’s been difficult to find good Chinese food in the South Bay, but this place finally makes the cut! Would recommend, but just a note that parking can be challenging (tiny lot), and there’s limited seating. But wow, please give them a shot!

Hey everyone! I’m a single mom looking to replace the tires on my Tesla without completely destroying my wallet 😭
Does anyone have a hookup for Tesla tires, know someone who works at a tire shop, or have recommendations for somewhere reasonably priced in the South Bay/LA area?
I’m totally fine with a good deal on a solid set. Just trying to save where I can. Any recommendations or leads would be super appreciated! 🙏🏼

Does anyone know when the first day of school for American Martyrs school in MB specifically is? I live in the neighborhood and would love to avoid traffic omw to work when the time comes, but I cannot find this very basic info on their website.
