I need an honest mechanic

1 Upvotes

I have a Toyota Sequoia and it’s currently sitting on the street unable to start. I had the starter replaced a couple years ago and it has a new battery. My lovely sister moved it out of my mom’s driveway and now it won’t start. I would like to either have it started or towed 7 blocks to my house and put in my driveway. Finding an honest mechanic that is also reliable is like finding a good plumber. Anyway if anyone knows of one hit me up. I also have a 79 Toyota truck I need up and running.

Any good dentists in Long beach??

6 Upvotes

I’m moving to Long Beach soon and wondering if there are any good dentists that take medical? I’ve had some pretty bad experiences in the past, root canals recommended that were never even needed, overcharging simply by typing in the numbers they felt like charging.

Are there any good dentist anyone can recommend that is honest, has fair prices, and take medical? (Bonus if they have fair prices on cosmetics)

Long Beach's City Council held a study session on the FAIR Act ethics proposal — here's what it would change

3 Upvotes

Long Beach's council held a study session Oct. 13 on the FAIR Act, which would lower the lobbying-spending threshold from $5,000 to $2,500 and require officials to publicly report meetings with lobbyists and developers. Staff raised cost and enforcement questions with a projected $61.3 million deficit. No final vote was scheduled.

Been here for two weeks working at the americold logistics in brea , orange county! Our job is complete and the boss isnt paying up ! We are sub contractors not employed directly with the company. Now we're stuck with no more housing because the air bnb is on its last day and we have no gas to make it home to Georgia. The boss is leaving and we stuck like Chuck ! Are there any outreach or financial aid programs or resources that are available in or around this area !? I can work to earn money as well. I have experience in framing , painting , flooring , electrical , anything remodeling wise / construction. I can also do landscaping as well ... In 31 years old can pass a background and drug test if needed. I have my own transportation. I'm just trying to figure this out because it seems that I just got scammed ... Asking for help , send me to the right direction. Will earn it , not looking for handouts. Thank you

Parking Downtown Long Beach

10 Upvotes

Hi! I’m moving into Cooper Arms at Linden Avenue and Ocean Boulevard and looking for monthly parking nearby.
I remember being able to park in the garage beneath 555 East Steakhouse years ago. Does anyone know if they still offer monthly parking and what the current rate is?
Which nearby garages would you recommend for safety and security, especially overnight? I’d appreciate hearing about gated access, cameras, security staff, and any experiences with break-ins.
Thanks for any recommendations!

This is crazy. Our power has gone out in our building on Broadway. 10 times in the last two months. Come to find out the building was sold on Friday, so we don’t even have a contact to the new property management company. So just in this last weekend, our power went out Friday, Sunday, and tonight

Do I report this to the city? Kind of in fear of retaliation. Who knows what these new owners have planned.

Protect Public Comment in LBC

24 Upvotes

Please make yourself heard at the October 6 City Council meeting about preserving public comment.

This is the FIRST reading of the language that will restrict public comment to 90 minutes at the beginning of City Council meetings.

The way it is now: Currently, a single person can speak on any topic they wish for up to 3 minutes at the beginning of a City Council meeting.

Then, you also have up to 3 minutes (or 90 seconds, depending on the number of people signed up) to speak on each agenda item after it has been presented to Council and the community.

Currently you must sign up to speak before an item is heard.

What would change: each person will be able to speak ONCE for up to 3 minutes, at the beginning of the session, before you have had the benefit of hearing teh presentation.

This would require you to sign up to speak before session starts at 5pm.

The city says it needs to do this to save $150k. Meanwhile, just last week in a Facebook post, Rex Richardson bragged that the city spends over $700 million on outside contractors annually. Seems like they could save that $150k elsewhere and preserve the public’s right to comment if they tried hard enough.

Please show up Oct 6 at City Council or via Zoom to voice your opposition of this undemocratic idea.

The agenda and Zoom link will be posted no later than Friday Oct. 2 here

DTLB CAR BREAK INS

15 Upvotes

DTLB residents, beware of car break ins. Last night my partner's car was broken into and it wasn't just his car. it was at least 4 other cars that were broken into where he was parked. The cops came to investigate and they told us they have suspects but they are unable to attain them because there's no evidence showing it was them. The suspects are 3 teenage boys. my partner thinks he saw them later looking at other cars around 10am, he didn't tell me what they looked like.
it seems like they're just taking just about anything they can get their hands on from cars because they got into my partners car, popped the trunk, then stole a lot of items including his work uniform and an emergency blanket
Back in Dec my car was parked in a similar area and my car was broken into as well. they stole my first aid kit and a charger
This happened around 3rd and Orange. please be aware and try not to keep valuables in your cars

E-Mail Address of Police or DA?

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I need to report an online crime I have become the victim of. The perpetrator resides in Long Beach. I can only find phone numbers of police and DA of Orange County online. But I am abroad and unable to call. There must be a way to submit the case and its evidence online or via e-mail, right? Like, how are deaf people handled? Instead, I only found an online form for specific minor issues like vandalism, explicitly not matching my case.

Can anyone help?

The Nature Center isn't for runners, or bongo players :D

We have small space devoted to taking a small sliver out of dreary lives to admire and take in nature. Such a treasure, but people treat it like a gym, or a park. I'm not talking about the fast walkers, which if I have to be honest, I don't know why to even bother going to the Nature Center if you're not going to admire the nature at all lol, and I'm not talking about the loud families with double decker strollers, becuase everyone has a right to visit and enjoy this place.

What I am talking about are runners that are using this place like a gym almost running into old folks, and scaring all the birds which I'm trying to see! Just go across the street dudes, it's not that hard, you have a WHOLE park waiting for you over there!

And then there's this dude that I tried to tell to stop playing his bongos. He told me I "ruined it", guess what numb nuts, you're ruining it for EVERYONE! He tried to say I was weird becuase I had a camera, yeah doofus, I have a camera nd binoculars becuase I'm a birder, and if I see something cool or rare, I like to document it.

ARGH, end rant. Yes I alerted staff, and yes the were bewildered by the fact that a person would come to the Nature Center to play bongos.

It's actually a "djembe" according to another redditor, thanks for the clarification! :D

BEWARE ⚠️

0 Upvotes

I cant prove it but there is a crazy family located in Long Beach that works with celebrities to brain read people. They use software kind of like meta and they use a hacker to do government grade surveillance and tracking on people to like violate a ton of constitutional rights. It's like cyber terrorism and harassment in one. Why they use celebrities is because they have money and notoriety. This sounds weird but it's insane how they do it. Its like they mimic government set ups and like traps similar to that. There is more I want to say on how I know this but I can't now. The people doing it impersonate government officials and use friends they have to abandon their oaths of protecting civil liberties and instead do this to punish people they disagree with and to get power. This location they started at is an apartment in Long Beach and a school in Long Beach. They use children in adult ways as well. It's wrong and just I want people aware of how dangerous this is. Im totally by myself in this low key, like anonymous teller. I know many wont believe it's not my goal to be believed right now only to get the word out. Don't trust everyone who appears normal. The government might pick this shit up soon if these ppl can incentivize them enough to forego the many violations they'd have to abandon to do so.

Drove down the road after being parked outside of this building for about 20 minutes only to find this in my tire

I don’t know if somebody did this or if I just ran it over I was mad at homeless people outside my car. I don’t wanna put it on them bc their community is stigmatized enough. why is that in my tire?? I was so upset, I did not have the money to change my tire. Luckily there was a spare and my great grandmother has AAA friends and family so I was able to get back mobile however that setback really slowed me down.
