This is worth a shot. So, I went to this laundromat called Culver City Supreme Clean Coin Laundry on Friday July 3rd to do a customer order. This homeless woman, doing her laundry asked me if I needed a cook. I told her I’d get back to her since I was busy getting the large laundry order in the washing machines. She told me “I hope you say yes” with a smile on her face. At the corner of my eye, I can see nosy people looking at us while we were talking, so I did not want to continue with the nosy people around. Later, the woman finishes before me and confronts me before she leaves. I told her I will come out since I need to move the wet clothes into the dryer. I had down time later and went to check if the woman was still outside. She was no where to be found. I could have finished the customer’s order earlier, but he stupidly claimed that the order was small when it was definitely a large order. His order consisted of 5 heavy bags of clothes and 1 heavy bag of hangers. After I dropped off the stupid customer’s order, I drove around to try and find the poor, homeless woman, but she was gone. I felt so bad. I did not want her to think I was dismissing or rejecting her request. I felt heartbroken. I even had trouble sleeping Friday night and last night. I never got her name. She was light to tan skin, overweight, blonde/brunette hair color, speaks in a low voice, and hauls around a small shopping cart. If anyone knows who I’m talking about and knows where she likely stays at, please let me know. Any information is helpful. I have a pay raise soon at work and it will be more than enough to help her living situation. I normally don’t get involved with homeless people because I get shouted at when I’m minding my own business, but this homeless woman was very sweet. If this isn’t allowed, then remove it.
 
TLDR; met a homeless woman who was sweet, and I wanted to help her, but she left before I can help. I was preoccupied with an unusual large laundry order for a customer.

Every year they put on a really amazing show originating somewhere in or near Mar Vista Gardens. Is this a city sponsored show? I figure probably not since there seem to be several “launch sites”.

Assuming it’s not, I’m so curious. How much does a show like this cost? Where do you get these large fireworks? Presumably not in CA? I always see PSAs from LAPD saying they will crack down on illegal fireworks, yet this huge show goes on year after year. Is someone being paid off?

Any thoughts on (preferably Brazilian) places where I can go to get a sit-down lunch tomorrow and watch the game? Bonus if I can bring a pup

Am Brazilian living in LA and want to explorer the Brazilian side of Culver tomorrow!

Where do you all go to have photos printed? Seems like there is a lack of drug stores in Culver City that offer that service.

Can anyone direct me where to go? My son and his gf are moving from SD. Both sdsu grads and now going to grad school. 1 attending usc,1 attending ucla. We are hoping to get them into cover city area. Any apartments affordable and safe in the area? T.I.A.

I live in culver city, near the DMV, I had to call 911 because I heard 8-10 loud bangs: my first thought was the metal gate near my front door. Then I heard footsteps walking away from my gate and then the banging again 5 mins later and eventually a car starting and driving away. I spent 20 mins on the phone with LAPD, by the time I got connected I assumed they (maybe) were gone. Now hearing a helicopter flying around. Just wondering if anyone else in the area may have heard something similar (could have been fireworks but unlikely).

Hey there, I'm a PhD student in dissertation mode and recently moved to Palms for my partner's work. Basically I'm in the phase where I just need to write without needing to go to university, which is a little ways away and not worth daily trips. My problem is that our apartment is super dark and I don't want to be home all day every day, and I haven't found a good spot to be able to sit for ~3 hours comfortably to work. It seems all the cafés around here have the more Apple store setup with uncomfortable and limited seating (could barely stand straight after an hour at Coffee Commisary the other day) and the public library can feel disruptive and holds strange hours. I'd like to walk if possible or take a quick bus trip at most. Any recs? I was curious about the facilities at West LA college, for example, or anything like that.

EDIT: in terms of priority, it really is comfortable seating. I have a permanent back injury and am quite sensitive to hard surfaces, which is why libraries and most of what I’ve found so far are not really sustainable for me long term

I’m trying to understand where they’re coming from. At home and outside. I don’t see random still water anywhere.

This is perhaps a stretch but about 3–4 years ago I went to a café that I'm pretty sure was near downtown Culver, because I remember driving through it to get there. It was a big place with a small front store area where the cashier was, and then a really huge room in the back with lots of seating. I can't for the life of me find it, and I'm wondering if it might have closed shop or if I'm just missing it. Anybody recognize what I'm talking about?

EDIT: completely by chance on another thread where I was looking for cafe recommendations, I discovered it is Awaken Cafe on Centinela!

is it really necessary?

Hi! My brother (13yrs) is staying with me in Culver City for one month and I am trying to find him some friends his age to maybe go to the pool or play some soccer with him during the afternoons while I am busy with work. He's from Italy but his English is quite good. Any advice on how to find him some temporary friends? A day camp would also be fun probably.

I pulled up to Alium Tattoo Studio the other day to get a walk-in and the studio was closed. Checked Google and apparently it is permanently closed? They said nothing about it on their Instagram or their website. Anyone know what happened?
