Favorite plant nurseries in SGV?

I just bought a house in Rosemead and am looking for cool nurseries to get interesting plants from. Fruit trees, herbs, and CA Native plants are what I’m most interested in. Any suggestions?

are there any available full time jobs in the SGV? I’ve been looking for years now (sorry if it’s a rant)

Has anyone locally around here been able to find a full time job within the last year or two? I’ve been looking on government jobs and cal jobs, as well as indeed and other websites, hoping to find a decent full time job. I’ve heard the county and local city governments usually hire their family members or relatives only and the rest of us compete for whatever crumbs are left. I typically look for education jobs too since that was my degree in college. But Edjoin isn’t great either.

Even when I get past the first phase, it always ends with being put on a huge waitlist with hundreds of other people, hoping they’ll call you within the next year before the list expires or something. Indeed is also slim pickings lately, every job seems to be gig work or part time if it isn’t a scam.

Lmk what your experience is. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I usually look for public sector jobs since they’re more stable and reliable. But I also do search for companies that are offering full time. But it doesn’t look like that many are

iso studio apt / adu

Hello! I'm looking for a studio apartment or adu in covina/weco/azusa or a surrounding city. I haven't had luck finding anything decent and want to try my luck with the sgv community to see if you all have seen or heard of anything for rent. It is just my mother and I. We are looking for anything with its bathroom and kitchen + sink area. We need to move out of our current place by January if we can do so earlier it would be great. Hoping to find something for $1,200 with utilities or less! I know it's a reach as things tend to be more expensive here but we are hopeful. If you know of any friend or family member that is looking for tennants please send them my way and please feel free to message me on here with any information. I would greatly appreciate it 🙏🏽

Job options in the SGV?

Can anyone please share what are the common work options in the SGV? My SO and I currently live in Panorama City but it’s getting too ghetto for us here. I work in Chatsworth but planning to quit soon due to a toxic workplace. My bf works in Glendale. We are wanting to live in the SGV (West Covina, Temple City, Azusa, or Arcadia) as we are both asian and like the asian community / food options there. My bf is also originally from the SGV.

My work background is in science (currently in the skincare manufacturing industry, but also have work experience in food / flavors / regulatory).

I am open to switching careers / industries and trying admin or receptionist jobs if needed. What types of work places / manufacturing facilities are in the sgv? Thanks!

Has anyone used the 3D printing services at Arcadia Public Library before? Or at any other library nearby. How was your experience?

Was it still free or have they begun charging? I’m looking to get some small brackets made no larger than a couple cubic inches.

sam woo turkey

anyone already tried the turkey they offer during thanksgiving this year or from years past? does it have stuffing and it have similar flavor as their duck, chicken?

i’m thinking of getting one as it’s something different. i just don’t want to pay for it if it’s the same traditional turkey as you can get anywhere else.

thanks and happy turkey day!!

Gins Sushi Pasadena

So I tried to get some sushi last nite. When I called (like 4 times), I would get a "this number is no longer in service" message. Thought that was odd silo I drove over on my way home from work. Noticed all lights turned off, big dumpster in the back, n security gate\door pulled shut. I did not see any signs or anything. This was about 815bsunday night. Anyone know what's up? Nothing is posted online to include yelp about it. That's my favorite sushi spot.

Where can I buy affordable lucky bamboo, money tree, rubber plant, and affordable houseplants in general?

Whenever I see them at 99 Ranch or 168, I always pass because they're $30-40. Big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes are about the same. What are my best options in SGV for affordable plants?

Burnt Rubber Smell

There’s a terrible burnt hair or tires stench outside in Alhambra right now. This isn’t the first time I’ve smelt this at night in SG. Any one else ever notice this? Any ideas on where it comes from?

Anybody been to Axem Axe Throwing in West Covina?

I was invited to Axem tonight. How's the ambiance there? How safe is the place, notwithstanding that real axes and knives are in use? Thanks for the input...
