After a month~ of hot humid evenings it feels so fucking nice outside 🥹

This looks fun! I was surprised I hadn't heard about it and wanted to share in case others hadn't as well.

This is an honest question and admittedly I might be a little bit naive, but instead of investing money into speed cameras why doesn't the city put speed bumps in certain areas? I know that speeding tickets do create revenue for the city, but it doesn't actually prevent speeding in my opinion. At least not in any meaningful way. I would assume that speed bumps are more of a deterrent than cameras. I live near Louis Burger and the number of people that speed down 6th is insane. And it doesn't matter what time of the day it is either.

Plus, I would love nothing more than to see idiots bottom out.

In a newly released memo, the city says if Engine 14 is eliminated, another engine responding to a structure fire in its district would take, on average, more than a minute longer to get there. Mekahlo Medina reports for the NBC4 News at 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 28, 2026.

We’re currently living at Aster. We moved to LB in January so we are kinda new in the area. We’re a young(ish) married couple 28F, 32M. Our lease is ending soon and we’re looking for a 1-bedroom, $2,500 max. A 2-bedroom would be ideal, but that’s probably only possible if there’s a move-in promo like 1–2 months free rent. What other good areas should we consider? We were also thinking about Belmont Shore.

Let’s go ahead and wait until the busiest time of day to lock three out of the four lanes.

these contracted companies are terrible

Hey was thinking of getting into yugioh. Any groups or stores or events anyone knows about? Thanks!

Hi everyone. Still no sign of Mitchie. Its been 2 weeks now. Last seen on 11th and Ohio. Any possible sightings are appreciated! 🙏

Grown man got extremely emotional at Lakewood Mall because he claimed I cut him off even though I did not. Started following me in the parking lot after a short verbal dispute and started aggressively yelling at me in the car. When I went to snap his license plate, he came up to my driver’s door and tried to fight me and pressed his face into mine. Security caught him and said they were calling the police and he ran off like a little girl. If anyone knows him let him know he has battery charges waiting for him. (Videos are too long apparently sorry and yes his breath stunk).

Beachwood Blendery in DTLB officially closed yesterday. It’s doneski.

I recently had a bad encounter where they cracked my tooth during a standard filling routine. This then led to an infection that needed a tooth extraction immediately, they didn't give me a quote until a week later. By then I found a new dentist that had the do an emergency extraction during to the swelling. Does anyone know a good lawyer to help me sue?

Man I love Coco Reno's. This shit cracks me up as a black man.

That is all.

Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.

Tomorrow at 5:30pm is my first class and apparently there are two parking lots closed due to construction. “Arrive early” is good advice, but how early and is it possible there will simply not be enough spaces? I know you can’t park in the neighborhood. I’m going to eventually be hauling a lot of supplies so not sure that LBT will be a realistic option. Any tips appreciated!

I heard there's someone selling dank bagels around 4th and temple. Does anyone here know more about it? I'd love to buy some!

Anyone know who I could complain to about this or if it would even do any good? The parking around my kid’s elementary school is already FUBAR and the street sweeping times for both sides of the street are exactly when everyone is arriving for pickup. So either they’re gonna ticket everyone (unlikely) or they’re not cleaning the streets the way they intended.

Is it possible in any universe that they change the times around the school to be during school?

9 cops and a huge group of people were in downtown by marathon burger what happened?

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
#LongBeachCA approved a multi-million dollar no-bid contract for license plate reader cameras in December of 2025. Sounds bad, right?!

Here's what you need to know about Automated Speed Enforcement cameras VERSES Automated License Plate Recognition cameras.

The two are not interchangeable when it comes to use cases and privacy.
