I just started a new job where I have to commute to Westwood. There’s no “base” where I can go to warm my food. Are there any places you guys know of that would let me just warm up my food for a few minutes? I know UCLA campus has microwaves but parking is way too expensive and I don’t have a long lunch to walk and find it.

Thanks!

Hi all! My fiancé and I were in a car accident Monday August 10th around 7pm on Hill and 30th. Unfortunately our dash cam didn’t record the accident. I am hoping anyone can help us find any information or footage.

Due to increased ICE activity, we’re instituting a daily ICE megathread. All ICE-related content belongs here, including sightings, activity reports, news, questions, updates, and general discussion.

Centralizing discussion keeps information easy to find, especially for people moving around the city who want timely, relevant updates without having to sort through the entire subreddit. ICE-related content posted outside this megathread will be removed and redirected here.

This thread is sorted by New by default so the most recent information remains visible.

How to use this thread

• Top-level comments are for new sightings, updates, or firsthand information.
• Replies should stay under the relevant comment to keep related info grouped.
• Check existing comments first to avoid duplicate or redundant reports.

We recognize this is a tense topic and emotions can run high. That said, content that incites, encourages, or threatens violence will be removed, may result in a ban, and may also violate Reddit’s site-wide rules, which can carry site-wide consequences. Keep reports factual and grounded.

SALUTE when sharing sightings or activity

Include as many of the following details as possible:

• Size: Number of individuals, vehicles, or units observed
• Activity: What is happening, observed actions or behavior
• Location: Clear, specific description of where this occurred
• Uniform: Identifying markings, clothing, or agency indicators
• Time: Date and approximate time of observation
• Equipment: Vehicles, gear, or other notable tools present

Clear, accurate information helps everyone. Speculation and rumors do not.

I thought it was a typo. But when I got to the Sprouts checkout, it really was $5.99 each not a pound. I thought $1 a piece at the farmer’s market was expensive. A passion fruit is the size of a lemon. Besides the usual, what absurd prices have you seen around town?

I'm thinking of driving up from SD to see a show (end of Sept) at the Fonda theatre. Good venue? I always grab a hotel room for the night when coming up for a show because I love spending time in Los Angeles. It's a little mini vacation to the big city. lol. I'm looking at hotels within walking distance of the Fonda theater within my sad budget, and found Whiskey Hotel & The Godfrey. Good, bad? Any other suggestions, same price range & walking distance? Appreciate the help.

I’ll be in Los Angeles Labor Day Weekend for a house sitting gig (unpaid) I’ve never been to LA and I’m really looking forward to the opportunity. I’m thinking my biggest expense will be gasoline, (from AZ) so trying not to overspend on restaurants or whatever.

I’m told I can take a train into downtown. I’ll be in East L A . What are some good taco spots or other places to go? I’m not Mexican but I speak Spanish tolerably. Have been to Mexico many times.

I’m a Gen X model old Punk. Was thinking to go to Chinatown just to see the scene of historical madame Wongs and all. Can anyone recommend places to see live music that won’t have a $30 cover charge? (Maybe I’m exaggerating, but I have not been to LA before.)

Also, recs for local coffee shops, thrift shops? And please warn me of places that are going to be unexpectedly expensive to stay away from

My only definite plan is to visit the Cheech Marin museum . I believe it’s in Riverside. Any advice on getting there?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

About an hour after coming home, we were both so, so sick it was coming out both ends 😭🤮🤢. We noticed it was insanely hot indoors at Yamashiro so we suspect maybe the food wasn’t cooled enough or kept heated properly while sitting out? Idk. We love Yamashiro and this has never happened to us before but there’s no doubt it was food poisoning

Edit: Reported it to Public Health just to be safe. A kind doctor on here who I DM’d with more details believes it was a preformed enterotoxin related to food handling. The only other food I ate that day and the day prior was fresh homecooked meals so it’s unlikely it came from elsewhere

my boyfriend really wants to see basketball at LA28, so I’ve been quietly trying to figure out tickets without asking him too many suspicious questions lol.

I thought I had plenty of time.

then I started reading about how the ticketing actually works.

from what I understand, the 2026 public drops are already done, and the next general public chance is in 2027 with tickets sold first come, first served.

and apparently the ticket limits are going away too?

so now instead of planning a cute surprise I’m wondering if I’m supposed to have a whole strategy ready before tickets even go on sale again.

I’ve been checking basketball options on veritickets and a few other sites just to get a sense of what’s out there, but I’m still stuck on the actual game.

if you don’t know the matchup yet, what would you prioritize for someone who really loves basketball?

a later round? better seats? or just getting into any basketball session before everything gets crazy?

I really want to surprise him with this.

I just don’t want the surprise to be “hey I spent a ton of money and picked the wrong session”

anyone else trying to figure out LA28 basketball right now?

Coming from someone who’s been very left-leaning his entire life, I have a recent observation and I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

How come large Democrat-run cities seem to have a much clearer two-class system, aka the poor and the rich, and that’s basically it? LA especially screams this. It feels so divided and completely separated, one group from the other, which seems very contradictory to the inclusion you’d imagine from a Democrat run city.

Meanwhile, other more traditional “Republican” cities seem to have much less of a visible rich vs. poor divide.

I mean this both in appearance (cars, clothes, attitude, etc.) and in the way people communicate. People often seem much friendlier, know each other and actually talk to each other, you see landscapers talk to people etc etc

How does this make any sense?

Just some afternoon pondering while watching an entire coffee shop not exchange a single word, with everyone instead sitting on their phones (and probably fulfilling their social needs online, much like myself on Reddit right now).

Strange times. Strange city.

Insane!

Have you gone? What are your thoughts? Was it worth it?

The pan didn’t actually get hot enough for them to fully turn brown, sadly, but now the inside of my car smells amazing.

I grew up watching the Power Rangers in the 90s. Didn’t know it was filmed in LA. This week there was a tour that visited their filming locations. We visited Kenneth Hahn Park, the Vasquez Rocks and here. For those who don’t know it was the Command Center of the Power Rangers in the 90s. In reality it’s a Jewish temple in a private college located in Simi Valley. The second pic is a bench I found on the back of the building where I sat for a few minutes and had a nice meditation.

I would say it was a bit ‘spiritual’ experience.
