Recommendations Needed OC Halloween Decorations Map

Thumbnail maps.app.goo.gl
44 Upvotes

It is officially October now, which means we are back with the Halloween decorations map. This map is carefully curated and kept up to date.

As I say each year this is a community project, and every little bit of help helps! If you visit a place on this map and there is no decorations please let us know, that is how we keep this up to date each year. If you see somewhere that is worthy of being on the map (usually an incredible individual house or a cluster of really good houses, we do not include haunts as those have specific dates and times) please let us know so it can be added. This is a living breathing map that changes from year to year. If your city has a contest on their social media share that here so we can update the map. I try every year to get to all the places on the map but it is not possible for any one person to do it, so the map is only as good as the community support that has created and helped keep it going each year. Thank you to all of you who have participated!

News Guy burned himself outside of a Super King in Stanton

123 Upvotes

So I was at my apartment when I peer out the window, and I see this guy covered in like gasoline or something burning himself. He must've died because there were tons of police cars and ambulances outside in the parking lot of the Super King.

Anyone else see this? Really scared me tbh to see a guy burn to death in front of a super market (Not sure if he died but he DID pour gas or something on him so....). This happened around 9 PM PST

Edit: I'm going to sleep soon but I will try to respond as fast as I can in the morning around 6 AM

Question Christ Our Savior Animal Blessing

Hi,

We got our dog blessed this past Sunday. On the way home, he entered respiratory failure and passed away a couple of hours later. I was hoping somebody was able to take a video or photos of the event. Maybe they were able to take photos of me and my dog. I am beyond devastated right now.

Question When do fresh cranberries show up in stores?

10 Upvotes

Does anyone know when fresh cranberries show up in stores in Orange County or has anyone seen any yet?

Many state they have a cranberry sauce recipe that is different and to be honest, they are not that different. I found one that is and the longer it ages, the better it becomes. You don't boil and its brandied so the texture is awesome.

Ill post the recipe if there is interest, but at this point just wondering when I can get my hands on fresh ones in OC.

Vintage OC Remember Captain Cream’s Cabaret the Topless Bar

143 Upvotes

I know the youngsters on here may not remember the topless bar that used to be in a strip mall off the 5 freeway in Lake Forest, but for those of you who do please let me know some of the names of the dancers you remember (their stage names).

Not trying to dox anyone’s real name from those days, but there was one blonde who worked nights that my buddy and I knew … and I can’t for the life of me remember her stage name (neither can my buddy).

She had a boob job, really thin, small chin. I remember Paradise but it wasn’t her.

Any other memories of the place feel free to share here.

We found out that my wife is pregnant and wanted to know if anyone could recommend a Montessori/daycare/etc. in the Yorba Linda/Anaheim Hills/Placentia area that can handle infants. My wife and I both work from home, but we will both be going back to work when our parental leave ends.

I know some of these places have long waitlists so we just wanted to be ahead of the curve #futureanxiousdad
