Hi all, I'm a 31 yr old guy looking for people to write music with in Fullerton! I play guitar and can record at my house. Looking for any instrumentalist/singer/whatever. I play mostly indie rock stuff but open to anything! Below's a song I recorded as a sample of what I play:

Has anyone successfully gotten a neighbor to stop leaving their dogs outside where they constantly bark?

I have gone through the OC complaint channel many times, which only sends them a notice of complaint. I was contacted by someone saying that to escalate I need to collect evidence and present it at a hearing with a judge at which point I will no longer be anonymous. I don't feel safe doing this. Are there other methods?

I walked through WoW today and saw some workers taking down Mulberry St Ristorante's patio.

How sad for them that they invested thousands of dollars in creating a little more life in that parklet assuming good faith from the city, and this is how they're being rewarded.

I rarely make posts on Reddit, but I wanted to alert everyone in the community about scammers using the Fullerton Police Department's phone number for voice phishing.

Earlier today, I received multiple missed calls from 714-738-6800. They didn't leave a voice message, but when I googled the number and noticed it was the Fullerton Police Department I called them back.

Initially, both the front desk and Records department didn't have any information so I wrote it off as a weird coincidence. However, another call came through from the same number and this time I picked up the phone. The caller identified themselves as Investigator Mike Thompson, and proceeded to tell me that I was involved in an Identity Fraud case. This caught me off-guard, but as they started explaining what was going on something felt off about the call. When I asked to speak in person at the Police Department, "Investigator Thompson" seemed agitated and just said sure. They didn't elaborate if I had to make an appointment, or any case numbers I should reference during my visit. I reiterated once more I wanted to discuss everything in person, and hung up the phone.

I called back the Police Department, and let them know an "Investigator Mike Thompson" called me regarding my case and if I could visit the Police Department to discuss things in person. The front desk agent confirmed they did not have anyone on the team under that name, and that unfortunately they've received calls about a lot of vishing with the PD phone number.

While I'm glad I was able to end the phone call without disclosing any sensitive information, I admit my suspicion was shrouded by shock and fear of what I was being told over the phone. The biggest reason why I wanted to meet the "Investigator" in person was because I had a hard time understanding what they were saying over the phone due to their thick accent. In hindsight, the lack of voice mail and their phone manner had all the signs of a scam phone call.

It sucks having to write an alert post like this, but I hope this will be helpful to some and will serve as a reminder to stay vigilant and always exercise caution from callers.

Otherwise, I wish everyone a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous Lunar New Year!

If anyone has the exact ordinance #s that would be helpful as well.

My car got impounded when I was out for my grandfather’s funeral. I ended up paying almost $1k for the police release, tow and storage.

The police told me I need a subpoena to receive the police report and pictures, and they said that’s just the way it is here. When all I want is evidence of the posted signage?

My car got towed Thursday, but the only posted signage I saw stated it was only from Monday - Wednesday.

I tried looking up the ordinances myself, but I had no luck.

any smoke shops near csuf that dont card? as i currently dont have my ID 💔

Tomorrow will be my first day at my fieldwork placement for the credential program i’m in, and I have to be there by 7:30 am. My commute will be from CSU Fullerton area (Nutwood exit on the 57), and my placement site is next to the Discover Center in Santa Ana right off the 57 free I-5 SBroadway/Mainstreet exit.

I have not lived in OC too long, and am not familiar with Santa Ana or the usual freeway traffic patterns.

At 7am this morning it was a 15 min drive on Google Maps, but at 7:15 went from 15 to 27 at 7:23.

I know I probably could’ve said this in a couple sentences, but I’m nervous and wanna make a good impression lol, so if anyone has any insight or advice on how early they would leave me to that area 730 I would greatly appreciate it!!

My husband and I went out for lunch to treat ourselves and as we're waiting for our entrees, this very visibility sick woman is seated immediately next to us. Sniffling, coughing, the whole nine yards. We got up and paid, leaving as quickly as we could, but still caught COVID from this selfish woman.

Why'd she even go out?? You can't taste anything much less enjoy being out and about when you're sick.

I hate people.

Posted to this subreddit because it happened in Fullerton.

Hello, I’ve lost a white and spotted gray cockatiel. Can anyone keep an eye out for her? I live right next to CSUF. Like, right next to it

Sadly this is the best picture I have of her. She’s predominantly white with a grey mottling on her wings

As the date draws closer, I'm getting sadder and sadder that we're about to lose this beautiful space. Walk on Wilshire came to represent a wonderful sense of community for me, a gathering place, even, to some extent, a sanctuary from the storm.

I made so many memories there, hung out with friends, watched Zero perform, met new people, dined outside, rode my bike through.

I feel so sad that Jung and Valencia could so callously destroy something I - and so many others - love so much. One of the few things in this world that was simply good, without negatives, without detriment.

Anyone else feel this way?

I plan to email them to reconsider, even though I know it will fall on deaf ears.

I'm originally from Nor Cal, but today I'm feeling like a true adoptive Southern Californian. Yesterday I pulled the boss move of taking my car, which hadn't been washed in 8 months, and backing it out of the garage so that it could get washed by the rain. One guaranteed free car wash every rainy season!

Police have a helicopter circling the area. They are looking for 2 suspects in the area.

We finally got fiber optic internet through GigabitNow in Fullerton. Its been great the first week, but today - Friday 01/24/25 our internet went down. Of course we tried rebooting the modem, called the company, and checked for system outages. Nobody answered their customer service number, but the recording mentioned there is a planned infrastructure maintenance today starting 8:00am, which would not affect connectivity. Well, shortly after 8:00am the modem is showing the PDN light as red, and cannot connect to internet. We are dead in the water. I also tried the online chat, but it’s just a not. I can’t get a hold of anyone. This outage has been an hour so far. Anyone else have a similar experience with them?

Have lived in downtown Fullerton my entire life and from what i remember this place has always been here. What is up with it? Never actually walked in but looked in and it’s dirty, no one ever there (customers nor staff) and it just all around seems shady. Is it a front? Anyone know anything about this place? it’s always just fascinated me lol

My kid is entering Kindergarten next year and we are looking into various options. We are zoned to a mediocre school, so looking into intradistrict transfer to LR, SL, Fisler, or the Orangethorpe multi-age program.

Could anyone offer thoughts on any of those, but esp. for the Orangethorpe multi-age program? All the reviews on Yelp, GreatSchools, Niche, rave about the program, but Orangethorpe Elementary School itself has pretty low rating and is in a not-so-great part of Fullerton, so curious how the dynamic between the multi-age kids and the rest of the school are, and if the more fluffy "lead your own education" and "no homework" program really set up the kids for success when they do go to a more traditional middle school later down the road.

I recently deleted all social media apps except Reddit to cut back on my screen time and am really missing the Buy Nothing group on Facebook. Do we have one here on reddit?

They will be reopening the street at the end of the month. This is all thanks to the following people/businesses:

Tony Bushala Jung Valencia 8EightyEight Cigar Lounge Ziings Back Alley Pilgrim’s Coffee Les Ami’s

Edit: I was told that Les Ami’s changed their mind and did support extending WoW

2-2 vote…with one abstaining.

Motion to extend the street closure on Wilshire therefore fails and at the end of this month, the street is set to open back up to motor vehicles.

What a bummer.

Weird to see how much the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem don’t like each other.

Tomorrow city council will determine the ultimate fate of Walk on Wilshire. During the meeting, the city will present their feasibility study on the extension of WoW to Malden Ave. Link to the supporting documents found here. The proposed extension ensures fire access & access to the Villa Del Sol parking lot. Join us and your fellow residents at city council to help keep Walk on Wilshire alive!

Where: Fullerton City Hall, 303 W Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton, CA 92832.

When: Tuesday, January 21st. Meeting starts at 5:30 PM. Agenda item #8.

For those who wish to speak during the meeting:

You will be allotted 3 minutes to speak. If you are in a rush, best to check in with the front desk to make a registered comment, otherwise you can line up along the wall when it’s time for unregistered comments. See you there!

I’ve heard the traffics pretty bad but I’ve read they’re adding Infrastructure.

Hi Fullerton!

Does anyone know what the roadwork on Wishire and surrounding streets is?

Looks like they're laying some wire or fiber under the street maybe?

Any recommendations on where I can purchase fresh coffee beans? The coffee shops I’ve been to the beans are a month+ old or dried out.

I’ve used mail order services but would prefer to shop locally if possible.

Thanks!

I’m thinking of visiting Fullerton for at least 2 weeks, I’m wondering if it’s a safe place. Safe to walk around at night, etc.
