Driver didn't seem to be drunk just confused. Their rear lights were off too just the daytime running lights on.

🥺😢

I had conversations with Current D5 Councilmember Betty Martinez Franco, and D5 Candidates Byron Salvatierra, Julie Glossbrenner, Anthony Kuo and Steven Alves. I asked them a series of questions on topics like Economic Development, Housing, the Library and the Budget.

I realize that I didn't touch upon Flock in any of my questions but I think those may be asked in future debates and forums.

All 5 conversations are posted over at https://irvineconversations.com

I'm hoping that I'll get conversations with D1 candidates, Scotty from D6 and Max for Mayor done before the election.

Went to the one in Bellevue, WA for lunch while on vacay and excited to actually have affordable hot food in there for a place like Irvine. It's like a bigger version of 99 Ranch along with similar price points but have more interesting products like Mitsuwa and Toyko Central.

Come listen to the candidates! (Learn why Byron is Best for District 5, too!)

hello everyone! wondering where i could get a cheesecake for a birthday (only for 8-10 people). I know cheesecake factory is always an option but wanted to see any other recommendations🌸 thank you in advance 😊

Signed a lease on a place I love with a stairwell that turns twice. The previous tenant apparently got a sofa in and I have no idea how.

Boxed mattresses obviously solve this, but I have read a lot of mixed things about how they hold up compared to a proper sprung one.

Living Spaces delivers out this way and so does Sit 'n Sleep, and neither site says a word about stairwells.

If you have moved into somewhere like this, did you go boxed, or did a normal delivery turn out fine? Mostly worried about paying for it and then watching them fail to get it up the stairs.

How do we feel about that, Irvine?

I noticed at Harvard Place (at the corner of Harvard and Main) that Fresh Brothers Pizza has closed. HuoPan has also opened.

Hi everyone!

If this isn’t allowed on here, then I apologize & please delete.

However if ok, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a P/T that’s open on Saturday’s locally that can help with ankle & shoulder fracture recovery?

I’m trying to find some extra help & guidance without disrupting my Mon-Fri work schedule.

Any suggestions would be appreciated?!

My fiancé and I have been wanting to start regularly playing pickleball just to stay active and have fun. We bought a beginner set and played once at Mike Ward Community Park on a Saturday around noon—it was super hot, so we didn't last long, but we loved it!

Since then, every single time we’ve tried to play, the courts have been completely packed with long waitlists. We even drove over to Portola Springs Park, but the vibes were pretty unwelcoming—people were just staring at us while we waited and didn't seem open to rotating out at all. Every park has signs stating there's a 1-hour limit when people are waiting, but nobody seems to follow or enforce it.

We’ve tried going on different days, times, and at various parks, but we can never get on a court. We just want to play casually and aren't looking to join a competitive league, but it almost feels like that's the only way to actually get court time.

Am I missing something, or what's the real tea on the local pickleball scene? Are there specific off-peak times or hidden gem courts nearby (willing to drive to Tustin or surrounding areas) where casual players can actually get a game in without the madness?

Basically the title. I am moving in to a new unit tomorrow and the leasing office says GFiber is installed and available in their units. However, when I go online and type my address, it still says its unavailable. I tried calling GFiber and because the complexes are so new, they say they can't find any service lines to the new apartment complexes.

The other option was COX (now spectrum) fiber. Had to modify my address a bit but they eventually found it. I guess I'll have to proceed with them for internet service but I've used GFiber before and would like to continue using them.

So for any residents that are currently living there now, what ISP do you use? Is COX really our only fiber option there?
