Rose Float Decorating

Anyone know how/where I can sign up to decorate Rose Floats this year? I did it when I was a kid and loved it, but it was though Girl Scouts so I’m not sure how they arranged everything.

Newport Seafood Wedding Reception

Hi there! I’m in the process of planning my wedding. I have about 75-100 guests. I want to avoid the big ball room banquet halls like 888 or NBC (just not the vibe for me). So far Newport Seafood aesthetically fits the bill. I’m wondering if anyone on here have had their wedding reception there or have been there for a wedding reception. What was your experience like? What’s the cost like? Do they allow djs/alcohol?

Car mechanics that don’t try to scam you?

Got referred to a shop with good reviews in Pasadena and they tried to initially charge me $1400 for a tire change and alignment. After fighting with them the price magically dropped to $700 once all the extra stuff came away, then to $300 after the OTHER extra stuff came away. I just want a trustworthy shop where I don’t have to constantly keep my guard up on being up-scammed man… preferably in Alhambra/Monterey Park.

Edit: I drive a Toyota

Looking for primary care MD recs!

Hello there! I’m a woman in her 30’s who has been dealing with hashimotos and other health related issues including rashes, hormone issues, etc…My current doctor is probably one of the worst I’ve had to deal with from the office staff, to billing, etc.. I’m looking for someone who accepts insurance and is willing to take the time to discuss results and not dismiss symptoms I have. Especially someone who is familiar with hashimotos and women issues in general. I’ve found many doctors who look like they could help but it turns out they are naturopathic and REALLY expensive and unfortunately that’s just not in my budget. I’m located near Pasadena, Alhambra, San Gabriel, Monterey Park area. Any recommendations help!

Good Mexican place for someone who doesn’t know Mexican food?

Tacos, burritos, enchilada, tamales….. that’s the extent of my Mexican food knowledge. I want to explore more, but whenever I try to, the menu options are so abundant that I get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start… and end up defaulting to one of the food items above.

I’m hoping to get some recommendations on good Mexican places in the SGV area, along with recommendations on what exactly to order to start branching out 🙏 I’m not picky and I have yet to encounter food that I absolutely hate, other than natto.

Good place to buy a quality hiking staff?

Like a strong one made of real wood. Seems like most of the ones commonly sold are lightweight plywood or imitation plastic wood.

Hungry4Munchies in Monrovia

Actually a really cute and fun tour. Love their account and that he’s giving some love to Monrovia and El Monte. Was hoping he might find some hidden gems but I guess that will have to happen on the next go around.

Curious to hear what other people think, too! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFbkPU8L/

What are your go-to hobbies or activities?

Hey SGV!
I just moved to this sweet spot from the coast and love how clean the streets are, how affordable housing is, and being closer to Big Bear for winter skiing. But for everyday stuff, it feels like there's not much to do besides grabbing boba or food. While I’m into that, I’d love to know what fun hobbies or routines y'all enjoy around here. Any ideas? I'm 35m btw.

Xmas gift ideas for an annual membership for a family of 4?

I want to gift my sister in law’s family some type of annual membership this year for Christmas. Does anyone have any suggestions?

They have 2 adults, 10 y/o, and a 6 y/o in their family and live in Covina area. They already have a SkyZone pass.

Here are some of my ideas:

  • Raging Waters (San Dimas) - $130 per basic pass; I’d have to buy one adult gold pass for $150 to include parking. Total comes out to $540

  • Huntington library (San Marino) - $175 for the whole family. Not bad! They had this pass when their first kid was little.

  • LA Arboretum (Arcadia) - $95 for the whole family. I read reviews that Huntington is better though

  • AMC A-List (many locations) - 12 months is $285/person, which is out of my budget. 3 months is $73/person, but doesn’t seem worth it since kids are in school right now. I feel like it’d be a good gift in the summer perhaps.

  • Kidspace Musuem (Pasadena) - $245 for the whole family pass. I think their oldest wouldn’t enjoy this as much, but the younger sibling would like it.

  • CodeNinjas (West Covina) - this would be for the kids only. $200/4x a month.. yikes

Far:

  • Knotts/Soak City (Buena Park) - $125 per pass = $500. I think they had this last year but didn’t go as much as they wanted to, since it was far and their schedule is full of sporting events.
  • Universal Studios (LA) - might be too far for them
  • LA Zoo (LA) - might be too far
  • Disneyland (Anaheim) - I didn’t bother checking prices because I’m pretty sure this is too expensive for me to gift 4x…

Open to ideas! Thanks!

How to Reduce Commute Time from Temple City to Santa Monica

Hi

I live in Temple City and recently started working in Santa Monica. During rush hour, my commute by car usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, which feels a bit too long. I’m wondering if anyone has tips on how to cut down on that commute time?

I’ve been thinking about vanpooling or using public transportation, but I’m not sure which would be more efficient or reliable. Does anyone have experience with this route, or any other suggestions to make the commute quicker? I’m open to carpooling or any creative solutions as well.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Where can I find White Rabbit candy in bulk?

I work in schools and my candy jar empties at least once a month. White Rabbit is a hit, but ordering online can take a long time and the Asian markets my family shops at (in West Covina/Hacienda Heights) either don’t carry it or only have small bags. Does anyone know of other options?

Estate Sale coordinator for storage unit?

Hi SGV Redditors. I have a friend who has asked me to help sell her furniture in her storage unit located in West Covina. Does anyone know anybody who does this type of estate sale? I've called around to some local businesses that do consignments but they're only interested in antique or other super high value pieces, which these are not.
