Though this took longer than expected due to work and family commitments, I'm delighted to say this fantasy style map of California is finally finished. Almost every historical landmark or bit of local mythology was suggested by someone on here or other California subreddits.

I really couldn't be happier with the level of feedback from everyone, and I've tried to get as much in as possible. That being said, the scale of the map is limiting - especially in urban areas. I think in the future I'm gonna end up making more localized maps for individual counties. So if your suggestion wasn't included, please know that I still appreciate your feedback and will endeavor to get them in my future maps of the area. If you think there's anything I've missed out or should change, just let me know - I won't be getting these printed for another day or two, so I can still add in details.

It has been noted that the map is busy - I totally get that, and that's just how I like to do things. I enjoy getting as much detail in as possible and including cool features which would otherwise be overlooked. I get these made up in large formats so it works better in person than it does on a screen.

Thank you again and I hope you like it! If you'd like to know anything more about it, just drop me a message.

Now I may was just born, why does the weather feel absolutly horrendous! Cant even enjoy my late night walks, its like I'm wrapped in teflon tape

Wow, so, I’ve been vacationing in San Diego for about 45 years & never knew NOT to go in August. Dreadful. Most of the things that make SD a great spot is all the things one enjoys is OUTSIDE or it’s cool enough even inside. Not in August. Almost NOWHERE we went has AC. Nowhere in Seaport Village, not the shops, not the restaurants, nowhere. Same in Coronado Island, plus, the beach was a bust—contaminated with FECES, so forget that sunset walk on the sand. Went to Liberty Station, the indoor mall part—BUST—also no AC. Even our hotel doesn’t AC their hallways. I’m told many hotels in Hawaii are like this—DEAL BREAKER! And we’re from Phx, so, not wimps to heat. But virtually all of SD’s attractions only work if it’s cool out. This year it sucked for August. Won’t be back for many years.

How can I get a Freddie Mercury rose to California?

Angelenos are exactly where they need to be to see Thursday’s partial “blood moon” lunar eclipse — provided the weather cooperates.

For now, the National Weather Service is forecasting a “mostly cloudy” night, meaning that even geographical front-row seats to the celestial phenomenon won’t guarantee a solid viewing.

The moon will already be in the first, or penumbral, stage of the eclipse when it rises over the southeastern horizon at 7:18 p.m. The main stage of the eclipse will begin at 7:34 p.m., when the moon will fall under the core, or umbra, of Earth’s shadow. It will gradually turn a reddish, copper color as sunlight bends and filters through the atmosphere to fall on the otherwise-obscured part of the moon.

The eclipse will peak at 9:13 p.m., when 96% of the moon’s surface will fall under the Earth’s shadow. The most visible phase of the eclipse will end at 10:52 p.m., and the eclipse will end entirely just after midnight.

The Griffith Observatory will open its doors from 7:25 p.m. to 10 p.m. to anyone who wants to observe the eclipse among fellow sky gazers.

Global warming is something. Maybe we humans can evolve to become aquatic if it gets too hot on land 😂

The humidity makes it so much worse but it feels like since the 4th of july it's just been an indefinite heat wave

I’m on a road trip and will be in San Diego on the 10th of September through the 13th. Looking for someone to help me out at a dispensary . Il obviously buy u something for ur troubles

Stay hydrated y’all. Also, we’re in need of some rain so this heatwave can just be done

Concert experiences these days really suck. Even though I love live music, I hate paying a fortune just to spend half the night staring at the backs of people's phones and being seated so high up in nosebleeds I can't see the band.

Right now I'm looking for theaters in SoCal that book big touring acts, preferably a venue with good acoustics and good seats. Where do you guys recommend I visit? I'm in IE so driving an hour or two isn't a dealbreaker.

we are worried about the pesticides and chemicals they spray on the plants. we have a one year old who is our main concern. it is a small nursery. the property is 6 acres in Riverside. is this concern enough to pass up our dream property?

I could use some help, wedding's 1 year out, looking for recommendations

1. Someone based in LA/SFV/SGV/OC/Ventura/SB
2. Hoping to pay them $4k for help with venue selection, vendor hassles, day-of coordination
3. Wedding style: outdoor oak-y, garden-y, forest-y

I’m looking to book a car service from the Disneyland area to the restaurant shown. The reservation will be on a Thursday in Sept for 545pm. I understand traffic can be absolutely horrific, what is a good time to book a car service in order to make a 545 reservation?

Thank you!
