Your favorite Zankou alternatives in Glendale?

And when I say alternatives, I mean a meal under $20 that is filling and includes two sides or so.

I'm not paying $20 for a single wrap 😅

Stop the Glendale Water Rate Hike

The Glendale City Council is planning to INCREASE GWP water rates by 50% to 145% starting January 2027, with additional hikes for four more years — all so CURRENT RESIDENTS can pay to update the infrastructure that a MASSIVE influx of high-density development would need. Download and sign the petition to stop it!!

Such rude people here

Moved here from the Bay Area and experiencing a big culture shock. Besides the large amount of inconsiderate drivers on the road, it seems like this attitude is everywhere. Was standing in line to get a coffee this morning and was second in line. Had a lady literally stare and me and proceeded to cut me in line. Don’t get me started on other experiences at the mall or just running errands in this city. Does it get better? And why does everyone stare at you like you are a foreigner?

Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s safe.

Over 700,000 people live within ten miles of Santa Susana Field Laboratory in LA. Boeing owns most of it, and it's one of California's most toxic, radioactive sites.

Right now, Boeing is about to demolish buildings that were used for nuclear research—including a plutonium fuel facility that had three radioactive accidents. The catch? A 2023 lawsuit win lets them treat these buildings as regular "abandoned warehouses" and use outdated 1980s studies instead of current safety standards.

The buildings still show signs of radioactivity. Plutonium-239 can cause cancer if trace amounts are inhaled. Boeing's plan means less protective dust mitigation, thousands of tons of potentially radioactive waste going to regular recycling centers and landfills, and workers plus nearby residents breathing air that could be contaminated.

I started a petition asking Boeing to either prove these buildings aren't still radioactive—or use the safest, most protective demolition and disposal practices possible. Things like independent air monitors, community-shared test results, HEPA-filtered construction tents, and treating all debris as low-level radioactive waste.

Just because what Boeing is doing is legal doesn't mean it's safe. If this matters to you—especially if you or your family live nearby—consider signing and sharing. What would you want someone to do if this was your family?

What are my chances of being harassed by the locals in this spot?

So, i live in Sherman oaks, but work in El Sereno and on my drive back home on the 134, looking over the freeway and seeing Eagle Rock all the way to downtown at night is spectacular. Now, I've very much wanted to drive up to this spot in Glenoaks Canyon, and go up those stairs to access the trail to watch the city at night.

However, the "private property" signs are concerning, not because I'm gonna trespass in peoples yards, but from my teen years i've dealt with pissy pants land owners when going to places like these around Burbank or Tarzana at night.

Looking at parcel data on the county's assesor website, the trail technically is private property, but it's unimproved, vacant lots all because Valle Vista Drive West is a closed off fire/hiking trail. Everyone who has some land knoladge about LA knows that ther are tons of hills (Like elephant hill) that are undeveloped because of terrain complexity, and paper streets that exist, but not IRL.

Image 2 shows the circled parts of the parcels on the trail that are technically private property, but is unimproved land.

I just don't want to be harassed if i go to check this place out.

tl:dr, If I park on Valle Vista, walk up the obvious wooden stairs, stay on the established trail, and don't enter anyone's yard, am I likely to have some homeowner come out screaming at me? I go hiking pretty frequently and even on Los Angeles City maintained trails in Porter Ranch, i've had issues with home owners

Yes I know doing this at night makes it so much messier

GWP delay?

So I’ve been living in Glendale for less than a year now. And I know the dates I usually receive my GWP bill. But it’s nearly been nearly 2 weeks since the normal date when the bill comes in. (Portal & email).

Just called the customer service line and was told it should be sent out today. But there are no notes as to why there was such a big delay. The info they did have was that my meter was read on sept 16th, but that’s it. Only thing GWP customer service could come up with is that “billing is behind”.

Anyone deal with this before? Is this normal? My anxiety has been killing me waiting for this bill. Was getting worried something happened to my account.
