Recommend: Star smog for sports car

I know this is kind of specific but I have a mid engine sports car and it’s hard to get to the engine, the last 3 smog shops turned me away because they didn’t have the right tools and/or didn’t want the liability of removing interior panels. Anyone with a similar setup like boxster, cayman, r8 can recommend the place you go? Needs to be star certified.

Thinking about moving to Walteria park. How bad is noise/air pollution from Zamperini Airport?

Hello, my wife and I along with our 3 year old are looking to move right next to walteria park. My wife found a couple places right next to walteria park and I noticed theres a whole ass airport less than half a mile from where we'd live. From my research, i learned the noise isnt that bad (small planes), but i am more worried about the lead pollution potentially affecting the health of my child. I know the sea breeze blows towards the northeast which helps combat the pollution over the neighborhood, but does anyone have any experience or knowledge living in this specific area on the south-west side of this airport? Also, will it be trouble selling the house in the future because of its location near the airport? Thanks for your time.

El Retiro park trees

They’re cutting down every fucking tree in the whole park Whats the point? Safety? They already got rid of a few play things (?) from the playground years and years ago for being “unsafe” but they really weren’t. It’s ok for kids to get hurt a little bit. I swear theyre trying to flatten the whole park and turn it into a golf course or some bullshit

Small fire on Madrid Ave — possible witness/person of interest

A small fire occurred around 3 p.m. today (Friday, Aug. 14) on Madrid Ave between El Dorado and Sonoma. Torrance Fire responded and the fire has been taken care of.
I noticed the fire fairly early, and shortly afterward an individual walked by me making aggressive/incoherent comments. I was able to get a photo and have shared it with the fire department; police dispatch also has his description.
I’m not saying this person was involved in the fire or that he did anything wrong, but given the timing, I thought it was worth sharing in case anyone recognizes or encounters him. If you do, please contact TPD rather than approaching him yourself.
Just sharing in case it helps.

Growing pushback to camera enforcement schemes

Hey everyone!

More good news, this time out of the traffic commission. The commission accepted the recommendation of their staff and they are telling the city council not to move forward with automated camera enforcement for parking. We need the city council to give up pushing automated cameras for red light enforcement and speeding enforcement come as well.
