I’m in Commerce today and it smells like industrial curry production, but it doesn’t smell like that every day, just a couple times a week. Other times it’s lots of different strong industrial smells. Just wonder if anybody knows what some of these different smells are coming from. Crossing my fingers for minimal toxic fumes.

Does anyone else in the city get bombarded with these business cards for taxi services? I’m in Westlake and every morning my business has these business cards taped to my security door. Does anyone even use these taxis? Are they legal, illegal, underground? What’s the deal with these.

Hello there! Husband and I are out of towners attending the No Kings event tomorrow - where would be good to park near Molina Grand if it’s crowded?

Just gotta push through a few more days of heat to get there. We are cooling down next week but this isn't like all the previous cooldowns that lasted like 3 days before we jumped to the 90s again, my 14 day forecast shows 60s and 70s all the way from tuesday to like halloween, i hope this finally means we are done after all we went through, God forbid it changes.

Had a Pink Berry yogurt in Marina Del Rey. I think the last time I had it was before Covid. It’s really hard to find Pink Berry these days. The staff said there are only a few left in LA. It was a good part of my memory in 2010s. Looks like none of them will be around in 2030s.

school is safe. I don’t have any other info just picked my daughter up and walked passed it moments ago.

UPDATE: Hazmat on scene

Hello everyone! Is there any sub focused to small business from LA here on Reddit? I tried to search about it and didn’t find so I thought that maybe it doesn’t have an obvious name.

Hi, I am planning on having a beach day. Probably Mahattan Beach or Dockweiler.

Is it safe to swim given the recent flooding? Where do people find the conditions/bacteria level online?

Thanks

I flew in to lax from a trip tonight and after being at home for a couple hours I’m completely congested. My partner says she’s been struggling to breathe since Tuesday. Are we both just getting sick or is there an air quality event doing this to us?

For being so bada$$ 🎉

Due to increased ICE activity, we’re instituting a daily ICE megathread. All ICE-related content belongs here, including sightings, activity reports, news, questions, updates, and general discussion.

Centralizing discussion keeps information easy to find, especially for people moving around the city who want timely, relevant updates without having to sort through the entire subreddit. ICE-related content posted outside this megathread will be removed and redirected here.

This thread is sorted by New by default so the most recent information remains visible.

How to use this thread

• Top-level comments are for new sightings, updates, or firsthand information.
• Replies should stay under the relevant comment to keep related info grouped.
• Check existing comments first to avoid duplicate or redundant reports.

We recognize this is a tense topic and emotions can run high. That said, content that incites, encourages, or threatens violence will be removed, may result in a ban, and may also violate Reddit’s site-wide rules, which can carry site-wide consequences. Keep reports factual and grounded.

SALUTE when sharing sightings or activity

Include as many of the following details as possible:

• Size: Number of individuals, vehicles, or units observed
• Activity: What is happening, observed actions or behavior
• Location: Clear, specific description of where this occurred
• Uniform: Identifying markings, clothing, or agency indicators
• Time: Date and approximate time of observation
• Equipment: Vehicles, gear, or other notable tools present

Clear, accurate information helps everyone. Speculation and rumors do not.

It’s frustrating and I need to know why

So at the beginning of october we had brutal heat for several days it felt like it had no end, then suddenly it dropped off to fall like conditions with chilly nights and rain, now we are back to scorching again for a few days but oh would you look at that, 60s and rain expected for next week. Make up your mind already damn at least it's dry as heck this time with those Santa ana winds but still this is unnerving

Edit - I am aware that the flashing left arrow means yield first (similar to a standard green). However, I’m saying I should turn left into the left lane and he should turn right into the right lane. We all win and traffic moves along.

Honestly, I don’t know the exact rules of the road on this one. However, especially in LA, I’m always on team keep the traffic moving. If we can both make the turn, then let’s go…keep it all moving. But if I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time, tell me now or I’ll continue to be a menace.
