    Live Band Karaoke Recommendations?

    Does anyone know any places in LB that specifically host karaoke with a live band? I know plenty of regular karaoke spots but I remember a long time ago in The Federal doing karaoke backed by a live band and I loved it. I’ve just had trouble finding any other places that do it.

    Just gotta reiterate I’m NOT looking for the more common type of karaoke run by a KJ with a sound system, it’s specifically live band karaoke I’m talking about.

    Jewelry Story recommendations (looking for an engagement ring)

    Me and my girlfriend have been dating for a little over three years now and we're both ready for an engagement, I've been looking at rings and I don't have much of a price range only $5,000. I found this ring on Brilliant Earth that I love but I've heard some bad things about them and almost every other ring place. I was just hoping for a recommendation on any local jewelers that can do custom rings or similar rings.

    This is the ring I was looking at, I was hoping to get something like this or if a jeweler can reliably make something that I like.

    BELMONT SHORE AREA: At least Two Car Break-ins occurred in 2 days of each other on Ocean and Covina near places circled. Takes about 30 seconds to walk from each area of incident. Starting to feel like a personal attack on this block, lol. People living near, bring any large bags or clothing inside!

    Was on the 6:15 narrated boat ride, then we saw a boat explode…

    We were on the outdoor top deck when we suddenly heard a loud boom and then turn around and saw a boat on fire with someone on it. Our boat had us go indoors and responded to it as well as others and I believe the coast guard also arrived. It was the craziest thing. Hope the people or person are safe.

    Where to get car key fob programmed?

    Trying to find a place on Google. The only thing I get are a bunch of " key me" locations.

    Looking for a place I can just drive up, give them the key I have and have them program it to the vehicle. Preferably open on Saturday.

    Any places to learn Khmer?

    Looking for any references to learn Khmer locally. I grew up hearing it from my grandmother/grandfather so I understand it, however I can’t reciprocate conversations other than basic responses.

    I’m the eldest of my generation (Cousins, Sister) etc and none of them can understand/speak.

    Measure LB

    On one hand, this gives the city a new source of income that it badly needs as we switch away from oil and gas royalties.

    On the other hand, SCE is threatening to pass on their increased taxes onto Long Beach residents in the form of higher rates.

    What are we thinking here from an actual economic and legal point?

    Does Councilmember/VM Cindy Allen actually live in the 2nd District!?

    Aside from Bluff Park/Heights this district is becoming a dump. Streets are crumbling. Stores and apartments vacant while rent is sky high. Broken down cars left everywhere with nowhere to park. Never seen here out on the street, getting a coffee, or st the local grocery store. I see other people all the time. Are we just a vehicle for another do nothing political career?

    Harassed outside Marshalls by Traffic Circle

    I was walking out of the Marshalls by the Traffic Circle this past Tuesday 10/29 and saw a man walking around the parking lot asking people for something, seemed like he was begging for money based on how he was dressed.

    He proceeded to walk my direction talking about “excuse me miss, excuse me miss.”

    I was not interested in what he had to say/ask so I just shook my head several times to signal that I did not want to talk.

    Very quickly he got very angry and started yelling at me, harassing me, calling me names. Calling me rude, weird, an a b**** for not wanting to hear him out.

    I stayed away from my car until he left for fear that he might do something worse.

    To all women shopping in the plaza, please be careful!

    Here is a description of the man: Tall, very skinny, dark complexion, dressed in sagging skinny jeans, a loose zip up hoodie, a cap, carrying a backpack. I believe the hoodie was white, his jeans could’ve been grey, his backpack was white with like a neon green. Looked to be in his early thirties.

    Rock Throwing

    Just woke up to move car out of main street of PCH before street sweepers give a ticket. My car was the only one parked there and a white car had just pulled up nearby same side of my car but facing the opposite way. I get in my car and they pull up next to me and start throwing rocks at my window trying to break it. I immediately drive off and they follow continuing to throw rocks. After like the 3rd or 4th time I notice they stop and I continue to drive away.

    Anyone experience something similar? Any reason why they would be triggered to do something like that?

    What’s going on with the Padre building?

    Lots of reports of broken windows, front doors wide open, and trash on the patio. Have the homeless completely taken over at this point?

    Mousse Cake

    I am saddened to hear that my favorite place to get a chocolate mousse cake will permanently close this Sunday. Does anyone know where I can get something similar to Babette’s mousse cake? If you haven’t tried it, I suggest you go down there before they close!

    Thanks in advance!
