Any update on cork and batter at the mall?

Seems like I'm seeing more activity going on there but nothing has been out out that I've seen.

Anyone have any update?

Hopefully they'll have a decent burger.

Simi valley preschool recommendations?

I currently have a 2.5 year old and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for preschool in the area? Pros/cons and general experience or insight with any providers would be immensely helpful. I am also open to suggestions outside of Simi but not further than 20-30 minutes drive. Thank you.

Internet provider recommendations

Hi everyone!

I'm not from Simi Valley, but a coworker is. They are not super versed in technology or anything, but they need to change their internet plan as their connection is currently not strong enough for working from home, and I thought I could give them some recommendations.

What are your recommendations for a stable connection from home in Simi Valley? They say fiber optic is not available in their region but I'm not sure if that's actually their neighborhood OR their current internet provider.

Perhaps they should try something satelite like Starlink?

Any recommendations are welcome. We need something they can use for zoom, streaming, recording video calls, podcasts, etc. Ideally a company that will install a router that they can after connect their computers via Ethernet as well, and not have Wi-Fi as the only option.

Thanks.

I hate the way they are installing the fiber optic

My entire neighborhood is getting it done and I live on a hill. They shut down one side of the road so everyone moves to the other side. Now I canā€™t park anywhere near my house because itā€™s full of cars. So I had to park like 4 streets over and walk up the hill. Why canā€™t they just do one at a time. Iā€™m disabled so walking up the hills messes me up.

Volunteer Restoration Opportunity at Fillmore Fish Hatchery

Hello everyone!

I am a Corpsmember with the Watersheds Stewards Program, and I am partnering with Channel Islands Restoration and Friends of the Santa Clara River to host a volunteer event aiming to improve habitat quality for the federally threatened Southern Steelhead Trout. The event is on April 28th, 2024, from 8:30am-12:30pm on the Sespe Cienega Nature Trail at the Fillmore Fish Hatchery, in Fillmore, CA.Ā 

I am seeking volunteers for the event as this will be a great way to learn about the environment, give back to the community, and celebrate Earth Day! The event will include an educational component regarding ethnobotany and native species in local watersheds. There will also be snacks and a raffle for an REI gift card.

More information is available using the QR code on the flyer or this link https://forms.gle/oVaz49orfRLb7yC59 and I am happy to answer any questions. Thanks redditors!

Slice house is meh...

Slice house is meh.... Just not seeing the appeal. It's packed but it's Simi Valley. Give it 6 months and it will completely die out. The pizza's are extremely expensive but the slices themselves aren't too pricey. Toppers or Round table destroy this place. Very greasy Great crispy crustvthough Rest is no big deal... Full size pizzas should not cost $40. Also, full rings of pineapple on BBQ chicken pizza. Good Lord chill with the pineapple. Who the F puts pineapple on BBQ chicken pizza?? Ok place to hang I guess... Read the small print people. This place puts ingredients you would not expect...

River Ranch Apartments on Patricia Ave.

I am currently living in Simi Valley near Madera and Los Angeles Ave. I see that there are better-sized apartments for the price at River Ranch Apartments on Patricia. I went and saw the complex and it seemed nice.

I'm reading online and some reviews of the place say that there is a lot of gang and drug activity in the complex and on Patricia in general. Is it that bad on that street and in that complex? Has anyone lived on Patricia or in those apartments?

Where to deliver now that Simi Hospital closed their L&D?

Just found out we're pregnant. Where are new moms considering delivering? I think Los Robles or UCLA West Hills are closest, unless you are Kaiser, which is not option for me. Any stories/experiences from either?

My husband works as a nurse at Los Robles (not L&D) and his working experience is not great, constantly out of ratio, no breaks, which makes me nervous for the labor experience. I think Simi OBGYN only works with that hospital though.

Edit: West Hills also closed their L&D. Sorry my first baby delivered in 2019, a lot has changed in 5 years apparently... guess Los Robles kind of the only option now.

Public transportation in Simi Valley

Hey Everyone. A SFV neighbor here.

I have a few questions. Does anyone use the bus system and the Metrolink / Amtrak Train station?

And if you had the power to change the location. Where? (In my case as near from "the hat" the better)

I know Simi valley is mostly car Centric, but I'm wondering if actually anyone uses the bus system and the train station and what would change too.

CANNOT FIND EXCELLENT MEXICAN FOOD

Please somebody help. Iā€™ve tried all these Mexican spots here in Simi and they are mostly sub-par or straight up garbage. Are there any taco trucks or really low key authentic places that have really EXCELLENT tacos/burritos. PLEASE GOD SOMEONE HELP. I thought el hurache was bad. Yolandaā€™s is mostly garbage. 805 tacos is passable. Tried a couple other spots but was blown away.

Edit- THANK YOU GOOD PEOPLE OF SIMI. Zarape and fast n fresh and Elviraā€™s all look interesting I will check those out. El Hurache I tried 2xā€¦itā€™s really not excellent Mexican foodā€¦unless I just went there on a bad day Yolandaā€™sā€¦nah thatā€™s a pass for me. I will check out the others as well.

Edit 2 - REALLY liked Luna Llena. Tried the Al pastor burrito and I thought it was solid. First time Iā€™ve had Al pastor in simi that I felt was legit. Thank you everybody and especially to those suggesting Luna!

Recommendation for a Hairdresser who does perms in or near Simi?

I have found a wonderful Hairdresser for haircuts. However, when I told her I want to get a spiral perm she said that she doesn't feel confident doing one for me, since she hasn't done a perm since cosmetology school. I totally appreciate the honesty. Unfortunately, she doesn't know anyone she can recommend.

Perms aren't that common so trying to search Google maps or yelp just gives me salon results with few if any reviews for perms.

So, lovely Simi Valley redditors, do you know anyone local who does good perms?

TIA
