Someone I know did a paid study with this company in Irvine and so I signed up for emails. I fill out a brief survey and if I meet their criteria they will call and ask me to join. I noticed this one was specifically mentioning Long Beach and that’s pretty rare. Most region categories are all of LA county, OC, or all of CA, sometimes they are online study groups. To be honest I have only ever qualified once for this sort of thing. I thought I would share it here because it is a large payout for this peer review. And the holidays are coming up. Maybe you or someone you know wants to apply and see if they meet the criteria they are looking for. I’ll add the link in a comment. Wanted to post a photo so you don’t need to click the link before reading a bit on it.

Anybody selling or giving away a Refrigerator and can deliver I really need one

Figured I share this here - my car was stolen near Bixby Knolls / Signal Hills between 9pm to midnight 11/19. If anyone sees a Blue 2016 Kia Rio with Ohio plates it's been reported stolen already, but if you could call the police or let me know if anyone sees anything I'd appreciate it

Simple picture from my morning walk from atop signal hill.

I love the LBC.

We bumped carts in the produce section and I apologized for my clumsiness. You had the cutest smile and were draggin a nice wagon, too. We crossed paths again in the freezer section. I should’ve gotten your name/number but I froze up lol. You were Latina I think. I was the bearded white guy with the NY hat. I’d love to meet up to dine at the Y. I hear it’s delicious there.

There has been a news helicopter circling the pike outlets and the area around it for at least the half hour, anyone know why?

Hey there! I’m part of a Pop-Punk/EDM/Rock band based in Orange County/Los Angeles, and we’re looking for someone to join us as a Laptop Assistant for live performances. Think of it as a chance to collaborate and be part of the team bringing energy to the stage!

We’re looking for someone who’s already familiar with buttonology—comfortable with live performance software and setups—and who’s excited about live music. This is perfect for a college student or anyone passionate about music tech and live shows.

We’re all about putting on high-energy performances and blending genres to create something unique. It’s a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience, network in the music scene, and be part of something creative.

I'm a student who's been living here for the past two years and I noticed that my billing rates for electricity have gone up dramatically since I first moved in. I'm on an SCE TOU4-9 rate but our mid peak rates are at 51 cents per kWh now- and that's just for winter!

Wondering if this is the standard here or if this is something I should fight?

Sorry this is random guys but my bf has been getting these stickers. One happened a week ago in front of my parents place and we double parked for roughly 20 minutes but got this sticker, I recently moved out from there but it never happened to anyone in the past until that day and a lot of people would double parked for less than an hour too. Then a week later it happened again in a different neighborhood (Pine Ave; he was kind of blocking a driveway tho,), then it happened a day after at my bfs job. At first I thought it was a coincidence the 2nd time + he got a ticket and I assumed maybe it was a cop bc he got a ticket but I never thought cops did this. But the third time it was weird bc it was all the way in Santa Monica and he parked legally that time.

My main question is, does the LAPD/LBPD really post these stickers up on peoples cars?? I’ve never seen that happen. Also, is it just me or is the writing identical as well?

My friend lost her dog today, the dog ran out when the door was left open by accident, please call the number or message if you have any leads!!!!

Anybody know how much of Naples is still decorated a couple days after Christmas? My ol lady is coming down after Christmas and I want to take her to see the lights. Not expecting it to be full blown like during the boat parade but just wondering if a lot of folks tear their lights and decorations down immediately after Christmas? Thanks for any help.

Best matcha latte drink n Long Beach. Up there with Stereoscope.

Hello everyone!!!

I am looking to start a book club. I want to be able to meet up at least once a month to discuss all aspects of the current book we are focusing on. I want to be able to pick a wide variety of books/graphic novels so suggestions are always welcomed. Alongside this I think it would be really fun to meet up at different breweries or coffee shops (again this can be brought up to a vote)!

So for this I want to have our first meeting on December 19th! 2024! We are going to be tackling The Troop by Nick Cutter! It's a pretty great horror book that lends itself to easy conversation! We will meet up at 6:30pm at Trademark Brewing (233 E Anaheim St, Long Beach, CA 90813)

Anyone is welcome, just please message me if you would like to attend so I can write down who will be attending. Please all I ask is that if you commit to the club that you atleast commit to the book we are reading that month. We will primarily be focusing on our favorite aspects of the books, how the characters of the story act, and other general conversation topics. This first club meeting will be more fast and loose so we can get a hang of each other! So please just message me if you are interested and hope to see some of you there!

Wondering if it's just me but for the last week or two the air in in Long Beach has been hurting my head. It just feels heavy and I can't really put my finger on what it is or what it smells like but my head hurts. Is it just me? I checked the air quality and today is 51 which is yellow but on other days the air quality has been in the green.

Hi neighbors, for those of you who park at bixby park like me, the cops towed a bunch of cars this morning. They’re doing the same thing tomorrow

But i was also told they are also giving tickets to people with expired registrations so be sure to put that sticker on or park somewhere else!

The taco stand that was outside of Sweetwater saloon hasn’t been there at all for the last week or so. Does anyone know why?

Craving chicken katsu and maybe some yummy pork for dinner tonight. Leave suggestions :)

Long shot but did any one find a set of keys near ocean and junipero? My bag opened up on a run and I didn’t realize until I got home.

1. Cheapest fares for the Catalina Express? I assume winter months are the slower/cheaper months?

2. Once on island, any recommendations for cheaper bars/restaurants/experiences?

I'd like to bring my girlfriend to Catalina sometime, but funds are tight. Of course beggars can't be choosers, just wondering if there are any tricks to saving a little money on the island. I've only been to Catalina a few times, twice in middle school with the CIMI field trip, and went to Avalon once as an adult. I remember the Express tickets being $75 one way in the summertime, but I see they're $42 right now. Is this about the cheapest/slowest time of year?

Any help/advice is very much appreciated.

Because it is only for subscribers I converted the article to a PFD and uploaded it to Google Docs. THAT is why I am providing a Google Docs link and not an LATimes link. I hope that settles any concerns about external links.
