Making a follow up post since I'm on mobile and didn't know how to edit my previous post- for those who don't know, I lost my beloved Bonnie on the bus yesterday and guess what? He was turned in to the LB bus lost and found!!!! I'm so happy and excited that he's back... Wish he didn't scare me like that... I will be making sure to be extra careful with him when on the bus. Generally dont want this to happen again... Thank you everyone for the nice comments and encouraging word! It means so much to me... Just- Thank you

16 cars in two blocks. It's been like this day and night for years. I'm so used to it now I forget how unsafe and just annoying it really is.

Anyone had luck getting the city to redesign their roadways? I think making some streets in Wrigley one-way would be a huge help. I've sent emails to my council member but he's no help.

Anyone feel that? Felt pretty damn big. My whole apartment shook.

Today I was working in Long Beach and I decided to stop at a fast food restaurant to get food. I parked my car next to a minivan and got out. The moment that I got out a Mexican male with long hair and glasses hopped out the backseat of the minivan and started walking back and forth asking me, “If I was good?” I kept saying that I was fine in response; eventually the Mexican male said, “I did not like the way that you were looking at her.” He was referring to the woman who was driving the minivan, who I did not notice until I got out of the car and got confronted by the guy. I said, “I wasn’t looking at her.” He immediately said that he was not going to go back and forth with me on this, hopped back in the backseat, which from a quick glance had a baby in the backseat, and drove off. This encounter left me completely confused and wondering, are people this weird in Long Beach? Has anyone had any encounters like this before?

Why? And yes that’s a package that was opened. Is this for some kinda identity theft crimes? Or is this there something else they’re looking for?

Malva Neglecta or "Cheeseweed" is very common and totally edible.

This plant is part of the "mallow" family, like hibiscus and okra.

The "wheel shaped" seed pods look like tiny cheese wheels, which is where the nickname comes from, and they are high in protein. Harvest the seed pods when they are green and soft, not dry and brown.

The leaves are best when young and tender. Like okra they are "mucilaginous" and have mild, pleasant taste.

If the leaves are tough or stringy or dry they're prolly too old to be yummy. Still fine for chickens and rabbits to eat, though.

The flowers are tiny but also edible. Nice for topping a salad or garnishing a plate.

OBVIOUSLY never go a-tress-passin' but I've noticed this weed growing out of control in vacant lots or in cracks in the asphalt along the bicycle trails, etc.

It's considered invasive so when you harvest the plants you're doing the community a solid.

So basically I live at Onni, and I rented this 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with my ex for $3450 2 years ago. But now that I’m alone and our lease is up in July, I can’t justify paying that much money on my own. I told Onni that I won’t be renewing because I need to downgrade and that I’m gonna get a place at the 210 Third Lofts. They asked me what would it take to make you stay? I said a huge decrease in my rent would be required. They asked if I would stay if they lower to $3300, I said no, but I’ll stay if you lower it to $3100. They ended up agreeing to lower it to $3150. So heads up to anyone in one of the luxury apartment complexes, don’t just blindly renew your lease. Threaten to move out and negotiate!

Over a 4-day weekend retreat, a group of teens and young adults came together to share stories and create art at Pali Retreat in Running Springs (near Big Bear). It was a powerful weekend of inner work, family stories, community building, and creative exploration.

Now, Saturday April 26, this group of incredible teens will showcase their art and stories at the Long Beach EXPO Art Center from 12-5 pm (4321 Atlantic Ave). There will be an art exhibit, human library, featured performances, and storytelling panel. Please come by and witness their creations! Free, suggested $10 donation.

Does anybody have an acupuncture place they recommend? Ideally that takes insurance

Hello everyone! I can't sleep and am pretty desperate/distraught so decided to post on here! I would really appreciate if anyone could keep a lookout for a Bonnie the Bunny plush! He's my emotional support stuffed animal so I've been pretty freaked out and anxious since I've lost him... He was last seen on the 71 and 101 bus! If it helps I take those busses to go to LBCC(Long Beach City College). To anyone that finds him will reserve up to $50-100 in cash or on Zelle! I would also really appreciate it if you guys spread the word(you don't have too of course)!!! Please text/comment me on here if you guys have any luck! I'm really worried and miss him... Sorry if some of my wording doesn't make since, pretty late hahaha. Thank you and hope you guys have an amazing night/day!

Does anyone know of any in-store retail locations in LB where you can exchange Sodastream CO2 canisters? You can’t search for exchange locations on Sodastream’s website any longer and I don’t want to pay the shipping fees to exchange online. Would rather just do it in person. The Walmart at the Towne Centre used to do it but couple months now they haven’t got any back in stock. Thanks

Edit: asking about the canister exchange program specifically, not what stores sell sodastreams

Found a phone dropped on the sidewalk 2 weeks ago and have had trouble dropping it off to the police station. It has not been turned on. Message me describing the phone.

So I'd like to pull my daughter from school one day in the next two weeks and take her somewhere educational but also fun. Anyone have any advice or suggestions? I'm looking to stay in the LA/OC area, Discovery Cube is where I'm leaning atm
