Thanks! :)

While the community has always had this rule, we continue to have more violations of this as membership has grown.

Please review Rule #1 before you post on this subreddit. All posts need to be relevant to the City of Whittier or its Community. If your content isn’t specifically related, make sure to include the part of the city where others may find this info useful (I.e the best bar in Uptown).

Posts that ask for recommendations with no clear tie to the community will be removed with a warning. Multiple violations of this rule will result in short term bans; and the more extreme cases of abuse will be considered for permanent bans.

Seeing a huge plume of black smoke coming from around Imperial and Meyer, might be La Mirada. Anyone know what's going on?

Obviously library is closed and my home is not the best option T_T

Remember all the whimsy stores Whittier had through the years? Share your favorites. I remember a craft store on bright avenue, a pirate store called pirates and plunder, model airplane store, a Sanrio store, anyone remember?

I understand that we need parking enforcement in the city, but Inter-Con is way too heavy-handed. A few examples I've seen lately:

1. Today (8/10), I was walking down Washington Ave., and every single car had a ticket. Look, I understand that the block is permit only, but it was the day of a concert in Central Park. I feel like there should be some leniency on days like that. What a way to ruin people's community spirit.

2. They ticket cars on street sweeping days, even if the street sweepers don't come by. If the streets aren't swept, they should not ticket cars.

3. On days where the street sweepers actually clean the streets (which seems like every other week), they'll ticket cars 30+ minutes after the sweepers come by. You should be able to park on the street once the sweepers go by. Parking enforcement should simply tail the street sweepers and only ticket cars that actually hinder the cleaning.

4. My neighbor's car was vandalized and rendered inoperable for a few days a year ago. They left a note on their car. I happened to catch the parking ass ticketing the car and I mentioned the note on the windshield and he just shrugged

Inter-Con really detracts from the quality of life in Whittier. I feel like when the city was doing its own parking enforcement, the officers were much more reasonable and didn't view it simply as a revenue generating opportunity. Just my two cents.

I just wanted to reach out and let people know that there is a severely underreported covid outbreak happening right now in LA and Orange County.

If you're sick please stay home and if you're out and about you might want to grab a mask.

The strain seems like it's very highly contagious. I know several people down with COVID right now.

lost some keys last night hanging with friends from around 5-9pm in the uptown area (kalaveras, brewing company, and guildhall) there’s a blue house key with a fox on it and there was also a paddington keychain. might be a lost cause but figured i’d try :,)

I have been looking for jobs that hire fourteen year olds for around a month, I have tried baskin robins and subway + every single store in the whittwood mall. no one hires 14 year olds ,

does any job hire fourteen year olds in Whittier, any recommendation's help.

Hi everyone! My child is going to 9th grade this school year in CHS*,* she study really well but finds math daunting. I’m not good with it either that is why I can’t teach. I want to help her excel in that area — any tutoring (private or public) in whittier area you can recommend I can bring her? Whether it’s a personal or an institution that is also at the same time affordable, bc we are from low income family — I just really want my daughter to succeed. Thank you so much in advance!

Anyone have a shop open Sunday in Whittier? I work overnights so getting out to get service is tricky for me.
