Pacific Amphitheater Ticket purchasing options?

Getting errors on etiix.com when trying to purchase tickets. Anyone else getting this error?

Anyone know if I can go to the box office and get tickets? Don't want to pay the parkup and processing fees on StubHub if I can avoid.

Thanks!

Summer Day Camp Options?

I've got a current 3rd grader who I will need to enroll in some day camps over the summer. I've looked into some specific activity camps (theater, swimming) along with general camps (Boys and Girl's club on Delaware).

Curious with any other parent's experiences with any of the day camps in the area. Any that you recommend or that we should avoid? Any experience with the BGHV? It looks like an affordable option but my wife was concerned with mixing grades 1-8 in a single facility.

How is the Wienerschnitzel on Beach and Talbert still open

I seriously never see anyone there, like EVER. I’ve driven by there so many different times of the day and it’s ALWAYS open. Never any cars in the parking lot, nobody eating at the tables, or anybody ordering at the window. It’s just dead. Even when I first moved here as a kid, I have probably seen people there less than 5 times and it’s never been more than two people. Like how is that place open when it’s NEVER busy?? Am I just never there when it gets busy or what like this has always bothered me

Seeking Parent Opinions on Elementary Schools in Oceanview School District

Hey fellow parents!

I'm currently looking into elementary schools for my child in the Oceanview School District and would love to hear from those of you who have experience with the schools in the area.

I have a couple of specific questions:

  1. Parental Choice: How easy is it for parents to enroll their child in a school of their choice within the Oceanview School District? Are there any limitations or challenges you've encountered in this process?
  2. Recommendations: Which elementary schools within the district would you recommend, based on your personal experiences? Conversely, are there any schools you would advise against, and why?

Your insights and feedback would be incredibly valuable in helping me make an informed decision for my child's education. Thanks in advance for your input!

Insights on Elementary Schools

Moving this summer to HB with an upcoming 4th grader. The area we are looking at is split between L Agnes Smith and John R Peterson Elementary Schools. The ratings of both are high, but there's a lot of reviews from parents about bullying, toxic office environments, and physical fights at Smith.

Hoping people here have some insight on the schools.. it's really hard to tell when reviews have merit or if it's overblown / the parents are full of it. If one of these schools is clearly better than the other then I would be willing to favor that zone when picking a place to live. I prefer that the commute to Smith does not involve crossing Beach.

EMS RIDE ALONGS?

I’m hoping to put my EMT cert to use. I am a seasonal worker from Colorado. My Skoolie broke down so I’ve been trying to plant roots in HB.

Covid meant EMS ride alongs in rigs weren’t required and I was only made to complete my two hospital rotations for clinicals. I’m interested in doing a ride-along in an ambulance as it’s been a minute since I got my certification. Even though my scope would be less than it would be back home, I haven’t worked as an EMT and have only used my cert as a way to get pay increases at my seasonal gigs. I’d really like to get a feel for what to expect working in an ambulance.

Does HB fire allow for EMS ride-alongs? I’ve heard different things from different people. Does anybody have recommendations for EMS positions they’d recommend I apply to?
