Hi again everyone! Amidst the busy Thanksgiving, your local city council has still found time to meet!!

As I have mentioned, I am a UCLA undergraduate student who is currently working on a student run newsletter that takes information from your local city council meetings and puts it all in one cohesive newsletter. Our newsletter is non-partisan, so its sole purpose is really to help your knowledge because we want our LA community to know what they’re voting for!

Here is the link to the most recent newsletter from the November 21st city council meeting!:

Hi again! As I mentioned last week, I am a Los Angeles undergrad student working with my peers on a newsletter that takes information from your local city council meetings and puts it in all one newsletter. Local politics is so important, but not many of us have the time to sit through an entire city council meeting. That is why we have formed this newsletter! If you have any questions or feedback, please email us at info@purplely.org and we will get the answers to your questions from the city council. Sign up here to receive this letter after every city council meeting.

The newsletter for the week of 10/17/22: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTfEq5KNrhxRG8IOF3V87JxZmBipGxcOOzNsqYgrjh7W9PKWxOLinqq3BPSMfjUOdqJ-hmG54F9jtaC/pub

Hi everyone! I’m Lauren, a current Los Angeles undergraduate student majoring in political science with a lot of interest in public policy and voter education. Right now, I am working on a collective project to increase the accessibility of the LA City Council with a few of my classmates. Local government is of extreme importance, but City Council meetings are often lengthy and complicated to follow. In response, a few of my peers and I have started compiling short (non-partisan) summaries of each week's council meetings that can be sent to your email! I've attached a sample newsletter. This is a new project for us, and in order for it to be successful we need plenty of interaction and feedback from LA residents! Feel free to message me any questions you have.

can someone cash app me some money it’s $as3pluto

Hello everyone. Do any of the pickup spots for day labor have workers on a Sunday morning? I need to find two men to help move furniture and load a U-Haul. I am looking for something on the Westside/Central Los Angeles (as close to the beach as possible). Thanks for any information.

I moved to LA about 3 months ago. I finally landed a job and now just starting to recoup financially. With that being said, I am now looking for things to do. I know saying that sounds crazy because there are sooooo many options, but I think that is my problem. I know of all the bigger things to do around here: Getty, beaches, 3rd Street Promenade, etc but I am looking for more local things to do. I live in West LA and never know exactly where to go or what to do. I really don't want to waste my time or money just driving around looking for things and Google just suggests the already obvious. Any suggestions on good dive bars, clubs, restaurants, book stores, coffee houses (not Starbucks) places to do wine tastings I can try out. I work all week and would be looking to do things on the weekends. I am pretty well rounded and like a lot of different things so tell me some of your favorite places LA locals!! Thanks.

Some users have started /r/asklosangeles and it looks like its getting support from /r/losangeles. Personally, I would say subscribe there and let this sub end with a whimper not a bang.

im in sherman oaks. i wanna know whats good shopping places. outlets? what do you do on a night out? Hooka (shesha) coffee, lounge, live music, comedy. places to mingle, or even local apps.

I have a torn ligament in my left shoulder I'm a guitar player with talent in writing and painting just an all-around artist I'm completely broke and asking only one question... I need to get back to LA... can someone out there in Internet world lend a hand with a bus ticket to Los Angeles... this is the first time I've ever used reddit... i was told that this may be a good way to get back home. thank you for reading.... I could really use the help thank you again.

I know this sub's pretty dead but I figured at least a few people might see this.

Like the title states, I'm in desperate need of a job. I'm an eighteen year-old student with no real work experience, though I have done some volunteer work.

For the past month I've applied at restaurants, my school, department stores, groceries, fast food places, listings from Craigslist, practically every place I can find and not one of these places has given me a single call back. I have a pretty good resume, speak fluent Spanish, and have no past criminal history in addition to being a hard worker, fast learner, and good communicator. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or perhaps it's just bad luck. While I know I can't expect a job to fall right into my lap so soon money's getting to be a huge, huge issue for me. I have enough to make next month's rent but after that, I'm gonna be SOL.

I wanted to know if anyone knows of somewhere that isn't picky about hiring people with little to no experience. I need a part time job somewhere in or close to the Valley (preferably the West Valley but beggars can't be choosers) for anything. At this point I'm willing to work minimum wage as the graveyard shift dishwasher. I just need a job ASAP and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Just bought a suit and want to wear it out to some cool places without looking weird. Cheaper the better.

Hey all, if you believe this sub has potential and want to see it grow, please promote it in any NONSPAMMISH way you can. What I do is just mention this sub when offering advice in the other Los Angeles subs.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

I noticed some spam got through and while you guys fortunately downvoted it into oblivion, it bugs me that I didn't catch it for a long time. If anyone wants to get added as a mod here let me know.

Looking for other beaches with a lot going on like Venice or the Santa Monica Pier.

There was some debate earlier about what constitutes a dive bar, but whatever you consider to be a dive is a dive in my opinion. So what are you favorites? Mine is The Roost in Los Feliz, it's tiny and dark and cheap (cash only). They pour a strong drink and if you get there early or go during the week, it's super quiet. Another good one is Bar 107 downtown.

Mitsuwa Market on Centinela and Venice has a great variety of lunch-style Japanese food at decent prices. BE SURE TO BRING CASH! There's a Chase Bank in the same shopping center, and parking can be a hassle, but worth it.

Where would be a good place to stay?

Less known clubs that are still good? Open mics?

Any chance of me not needing a car? (Not really hopeful on this one) :)

Do clubs ever let freelance journalists take photos? I'll contact clubs before I go, just trying to gauge my chances.

Any information, even if not requested in the questions is very welcome.

Thanks!
