I buy my wine at Costco and occasionally Total Wine. Doesn’t everyone? How do liquor stores make money?

For Me it’s Fairview/Garden Grove Blvd @ the 22. Especially when people making the left onto Fairview block the intersection because of the 22 Off-ramp

we’ve been debating whether trying to move into irvine/capistrano unified is actually worth it or if people hype it up too much online. our oldest is getting closer to school age but i honestly can’t tell if the tradeoff is worth the commute + higher costs. curious how people here felt after making that move

Castor plants are highly invasive, poisonous, noxious plants that can't be killed by stuff you buy at the store when mature and you need full body protection when handling it. There's a mature plant with lots of seed pods growing on an empty lot near me and I'm concerned it will overtake the lot, but I'm not sure who the owner is so I needed to call my local government.

Called county about it. Said I needed to call my city (San Clemente, so I added location details to comply with rule #2) and gave me the number to report a code violation. Okay. So I called my city about it and they said there's nothing they can do? California is highly strict when it comes to invasive species of any kind, I highly doubt there's absolutely no one I can call about it. I don't think the city lady had any earthly clue what I was talking about and she tried to dismiss me immediately and kicked me up to the senior officer for code violations, and now I'm waiting for a call back.

Still, I wonder if there's anyone where who can help me out?

BTW if you ever suggest I do it myself or use spray, understand that mature castor plants cannot be removed with stuff you find at the store AND that it is a highly noxious plant. I said this in the beginning of the post but the comments before it was removed were by people who didn't read this.

Before The Block was built in Orange it was a little place that had some restaurants and clubs. This was in 1993. I had just gotten a fake I.D. and my boyfriend and all of our friends would go everywhere. I was seventeen and felt so cool. I remember The Australian Beach Club was so fun! We would go on Thursday nights. I can still picture it.

Sadly, there was a brutal murder that occurred in May 1994. A girl named Leonora Wong had met this evil killer named Edward Morgan. They had left and he brutally killed her in the parking structure. Cameras were not common back then but this structure had one and lead to his arrest. He now sits on death row. She was just an innocent woman that went out with her friend for some fun. After this happened, no one wanted to go there anymore, and the club closed down soon after. I always think of her and the long gone Australian Beach Club when I go to The Block. I definitely miss the '90s and would go back in a heartbeat!

Hi all! I’m looking for a primary care physician in or near the city of Orange and would love some recommendations from people who’ve had good experiences.

A bit of context: I’ve put off regular care for a while due to various life circumstances, and I’m now in my late 40s and ready to be more proactive about my health. I’ve been working on diet and exercise, but it’s time to get a doctor in my corner too.

The most important thing I’m looking for is someone who is supportive and non-judgmental — a doctor who will meet patients where they are rather than lead with lectures. I have some anxiety around medical appointments, so a warmer, more collaborative approach makes a big difference for me.

One practical note: I’m on a Blue Shield PPO, so ideally I’d love someone who accepts that.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions — even just knowing someone had a great experience with their doctor would be really helpful

They cited it's either Cox or Cityside. Is it even legal ?

I just wanted to rant, back to back days where the bus is 30 minutes late!!!. The bus behind this one is literally 10 minutes behind him. Genuinely horrible, something has to change

TLDR: OC Treasurer Shari Freidenrich allegedly tried to fire her deputy, Dana Schultz, right after Schultz pulled papers to run against her in the current election. County HR/lawyers reportedly stepped in and blocked it, raising obvious retaliation concerns.
The office already has a reputation for toxic workplace issues and political infighting. Apparently mean girl drama doesn’t end in high school… it just ends up in county government.
So do your due diligence when choosing who to vote for!

Hi, since shuck closed I have been at a loss. Water grill is a back up but is honestly just too big a boujee for my little mermaid beach bum vibe. I have been to hook and anchor but what are your suggestions? Preferably waterfront, preferably Orange County, Long Beach, or San Diego areas. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone. My 40th is coming up and I want to have a decent celebration. Trouble is I don’t know what to do or where to celebrate it. I’m thinking the guest list would be around 20-30 people. My apartment can’t accommodate a party. Any suggestions?

Looking for a fun brewery or mixed drinks place that is laid back and has fun games or something to do with people. Costa Mesa, Newport, lake forest, ect

We're doing some kitchen remodeling and our temporary stove is a single burner propane stove like you'd see at a buffet omelet station.

I have a bunch of empty ones to recycle. Western Waste doesn't want them and neither does CR. I don't want to throw them away aftet puncturing but I'm not sure who will take them for recycling.

Suggestions?
