I was wondering if I can get my GED or high school diploma at Long Beach City College. I asked my friends who are students there and they don’t know so now I am here. I just wanted to know if it was possible, how to do it, and how long it will take.

The sunsets and sunrises here are ridiculously beautiful. Either like a blazing glowing neon fire (sunrise this morning), a soft lavender pink blue (like right now! go look, its gorgeous and sweet). Plus on normal non-cloudy days it's like a cotton candy rainbow.

It's all so gorgeous I worry I'll never see it again when it ends, since beautiful things never last.

Go look outside!! So pretty

This guy parks on the sidewalk and thinks it’s ok. Cops or parking enforcement do not care. As you can see, there is little room on either side to walk around. Imagine if you’re handicapped, like many of my elderly neighbors that like to walk to get some exercise even though they are using a cane or walker to assist them getting around.

Hello everyone I really need a car but my credit is shit I’m working 2 jobs rn and taking a bus and train everywhere is really wearing on me especially on night shifts I only have 1000 anyone can we make some type of payment plan I can show u my paystubs

Does anyone offer vocal lessons or know of anyone who does? Please & thank you!

I bought myself a record player and I'm looking for a good local record store to visit. I like indie, pop, and alternative music if that helps narrow it down. A combination of new and used records would be ideal.

Thanks!

Dear Neighbor, 

TOMORROW, Thursday, December 12, from 6-8pm at the Anderson Memorial Senior Citizen Center, Caltrans will host its 2nd in-person traffic management plan task force meeting for the Vincent Thomas Bridge Deck Replacement Project. 

As you know, the bridge deck has rapidly deteriorated due to concrete failure caused by heavy traffic and marine deterioration. As such, Caltrans has proposed a full closure of the bridge for 16 month while it is repaired  The Task Force will gather input from the public, stakeholders, and motorists for forming plans for detour routes once the bridge is fully closed for construction. 

 Additionally, you can provide your input on the Traffic Management Plan by taking this survey, which is available in English and Spanish. 

 www.surveymonkey.com/r/VTBProjectTMP.

You can visit www.virtualeventroom.com/caltrans/vtb for more information on the project.

Planning my wedding in long beach and looking for a welcome event venue for ~40+ guests the day before. We’ve contacted a handful of places but curious if anyone has any reccs for bars/restaurants/breweries/etc. that can accommodate large groups with drinks and food for a couple hours.

Reached out to the following places:

• Green Cheek (not available)
• Ballast Point (private space a bit out of budget but could still all meetup here possibly)
• Trademark Brewing (leaning towards this for affordability and flexibility)
• Compound (TBD, seems a but much for what we need)
• Heritage Farms (out of budget)

Pretty open to ideas if anyone has anything to share. Thank you!

I’m looking for a good tailor to alter a few suits. Recommendations?

Not from here, so a little confused on logic….. I walk the bike lane along the LA River and couldn’t help but wonder how the logic came to be that feeding these stray cats is helpful?!? How did that logic come to be, even for a huge cat fan?? You’re hurting them worse by domesticating them and making it so they can’t use their natural born instincts to hunt and survive. Even worse than that, nature is survival of the fittest and your rearranging the ecosystem by overpopulation of cats that shouldn’t naturally be there. What about the other living things in the same ecosystem that you’re endangering by doing this. And don’t even get me started on the damn trash that’s left behind!!!!!! The trash problem is bad enough without hauling loads of trash out here to feed the cats and then leave it and bring more shit the next time. That’s insane!!! I saw a bush so stuffed with bowls and plates and cat food cans…. So glad you saved the cats… fuck everything else right?!? The logic just doesn’t make sense. Take the cats home with you if you want to care for them so bad! Or better yet, scoop em up and get them spayed and neutered!! You’d be saving the world then!! If anyone has a valid point, please enlighten me. I’m willing to learn.

Whats up! I'm on the eastside of Long Beach and I have so many of these cause I buy from chewy and it ships automatically. I didn't realize I doubled the order for 3 months so I have extra and could use the cash. Anybody interested I'll sell it for cheaper than the store price! Unopened, can examine and open if u would like. Message me if interested!:)

These two ratchet assholes are busting into vehicles NIGHTLY on the westside of Ocean!! They hit Camden at least 3x a week. Possibly stealing tires and cars too!! Post their faces everywhere please.

Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I are planning a date at El Dorado Park, but since we both live in campus dorms, finding privacy can be tricky. Are there any good, quiet spots in the park where we can hang out and not worry about being interrupted? Looking for something cozy and low-key, away from the main crowds. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone. Around 2:30 am the building I live in was broken into. Two tallish white guys and one had this skateboard.

Wondering if there are any other victims who recognize these guys.

I'm moving out of Long Beach and figured this would be the perfect time to downsize on all the shirts I have but never wear, anyone know a good place to donate a bunch of clothes? Preferably somewhere that won't use them to make a profit but will help people out

Saved a stray cat a couple months ago, and we are best friends now. Only problem is I am not working at the moment, and really have nothing in terms of cat stuff. I really want to help him with entertaining himself with a cat tower or some toys we can play with together….also any kitten food or cat food is greatly appreciated. And of course any advice on raising a kitten is very welcomed!

Does anyone know if it is back open? It was closed last week and I’m not sure why.

Hi! Last week someone had posted their photo of the moon and said it was a bit blurry. I tried to post mine underneath but the comment was deleted. Here is my photo from that same night

Anyone have any idea what’s going on in DTLB?? Helicopter with spotlight. Was watching it for a while, looks like it was shining its light near the coast but then they lost whatever was happening. Ended up sending out a drone… when I thought it was 1, it was actually a whole fleet of drones in the sky patrolling, flying incredibly low and close to buildings. Probably about 8 of them just flying up in the sky.

Checked Citizen, and there was a burglary and someone with a knife in a parking lot. Would they send out a helicopter and a fleet of drones for one of those two things? Helicopter yes, but so many drones? Idk.

I know nothing about police enforcement but seems a little excessive for a burglary or a guy with a knife in a parking lot. Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know the situation but thought someone else on here might know.

Update: was around 12-12:30am
