Me and 5 other people I know got this respiratory virus (not COVID) that takes forever to shake and has a really bad cough and high fever. I had to get on antibiotics. I haven’t been sick in over a decade besides COVID

Has anyone else been experiencing a very dry mouth in the morning? I’ve lived in Pasadena for over six years and it’s never been this bad before, but for the past couple weeks, my mouth and throat has been so dry that they were sticking to each other. I’m literally gasping for air in the middle of the night from the dryness.

I like to go out on walks with my camera during my lunch breaks, here's a collection of some shots I took over the summer. Taken on a Nikon F60 with a mix of expired and fresh Kodak Tri-X 400.

Where do you recommend a good ceviche in the area?
Thanks!

My housemate found an SD card yesterday in San Francisco with a bunch of videos from March 2024 all shot in Pasadena. Would be cool to find the owner.

I don't want to post pictures of people but there's:

• Videos from a birthday party in Garfield Park
• Jam session w/ a rapper & guitarist / music producer guy
• A mostly empty nightclub w/ some house music

I believe the owner's name is Alex. There's a video describing him as Chilean and having a beautiful voice.

It was this big Spanish dude who would play his accordion on the street of colorado by the Travelodge hotel next to the dealership and Ramada wyndham hotel. I approached him one day and he said he calls himself cricket. There was another guy in a wheelchair that would smoke weed with him occasionally and stink up the whole block. One day he just got up and left. What’s the news on cricket

Hello I'm looking for a meal prep/delivery service that can do custom ingredients. I have to be on a low oxalate diet and can only eat from an approved foods list. Anyone know of someone that does this type of work?

Hey yall!! My buddies and I decided to start a Magic the Gathering social club by the name of "The Sanctuary" based in LA. We're hosting FREE biweekly events/ meet ups at local bars & breweries. Our event this week will be hosted at 6PM this Sunday (10/18) at 'HoneyBird' in La Canada Flintridge. This is our first time in that area and we're excited to hopefully see some new faces! :)

Everyone is warmly welcomed to attend regardless of power level & experience! Look for peeps with lanyards to help guide you through setting you up with a pod or a table for you and your play group 😁

Love Mapquest for doing this. Good to know where the cameras are in our neighborhoods. There are 61 cameras in Pasadena, 63 in La Canada

Looking to branch out, I’ve tried Haruka and have been eyeing a few ramen places but I can’t decide. TIA 🍜 also open to pho!

Do you know? Have you been to one?

Line wrapped around the corner.

With the forecasted wet winter coming up, we all know how horrendous the 210, especially from Monrovia to Pasadena, tends to get (and already is even without the rain). Potholes that make ten-car lineups on the side of the road during a rainstorm. Our suspensions are all collectively crying every time we end up driving in the middle lane. Giant chunks taken out of the bandaid tar they throw in there after a week.

Why is it that I can drive down to Orange County now and the majority of the 5 has been beautifully repaved it's like driving on butter, but ours is hot garbage still? I don't know who to call, email, petition, or what. Obviously Caltrans, but what is effective? How do we implore that this has been needed for a long time and they are willfully doing a disservice and putting drivers at risk by continuing to ignore this? I saw this article about the work they're doing on the 60 https://secretlosangeles.com/ca-60-route-daytime-closures-el-nino-storms/ and it's great for that area but like...when is it our turn??

I’m away from my house today and monitoring the Santa Ana situation close remotely.

In the last half hour the Peak Fire has erupted from 2 to 20+ acres. It is a quarter mile north f San Gabriel Canyon Rd and Mirador drive in Azusa.

Evacuations set for the area immediately around the fire.

But the Evac Warnings spread across most of the Southern San Gabriels across Monrovia and stopping just before Kinneloa Mesa. The winds are driving the fire east and slightly south.

No warnings for us yet, but please check your apps and stay alert.

I’d like to find this art in a vintage thrift store and I only want recommendations if you’ve actually seen this art before. I’m familiar with some stores but haven’t been able to find what I’m looking for. I’m looking for drawings of pin up girls or old vintage magazines that contain pin up models. I come across pieces on Facebook marketplace but not very often at all.

EDIT: thank you to everyone who commented below. Your info has proved invaluable. I will be calling Gifts of Peace later on today. Your love and kind words are also heartwarming. He's being spoiled rotten in between his all too frequent naps. We will miss him terribly.

Unfortunately, our dog Perry has an incurable brain lesion and it’s time for him to cross the rainbow bridge. Our vet gave us a list of firms that offer this service, but I have no idea where to start.

If anybody has any recommendations, please let us know. Even background research on Yelp doesn’t really give you the whole picture. If anybody has a good compassionate service, please let us know. Thank you so much.

The firms they recommend are:

Saving Grace Veterinary Service

A Peaceful Ending

Gifts of Peace

Lap of Love

Serenity

Hearts and Halos

Green Meadows Veterinary Care Euthanasia & After Care

Hello!!

I need to rent or buy two vintage like 90s box tvs that can work with current media. I’ve seen a place online called CRTified but I can’t get ahold of them. Anyone use them before or have a recommendation??? Need it next weekend.

Has anyone ever done them? Are they worth it? They’re pretty pricey and self guided so I wasn’t sure if they were worth it or not. I wanna tour the place so badly!

I got a letter in the mail from the City of South Pasadena Fire Department asking me to provide my insurance info "in order to bill for your Emergency Medical Service", but I'm not sure if it's legit or not.

Context:

1. I was a passenger in a hit-and-run car accident a month ago and called 911 from the wreckage

2. The fire dept arrived and performed vitals checks (blood pressure and heart rate) on me and the driver

3. No ambulance rides or any other care was administered except the above.

4. No specific charges were enumerated in the letter, it just asked for my insurance info and said "you may be responsible for charges."

I was surprised to see a bill after only getting vitals taken. I looked around online but couldn't seem to find a straight answer. Is it standard for the Pasadena FD to charge just for taking vitals?

Thanks in advance! I have no real problem providing my info to them, just wanted to double check.

This is a long shot but I’m trying to find someone in the area that happens to have a 2024 Connection and would be willing to help me continue my Tamagotchi’s lineage.

They just grow up so fast…

I was all ready to read about my favorite breakfast pastry, but noooooo.

I’m tight on money but want to take care of my great pyr dog the best I can. He needs a good bath, brush, nails trimmed and a good teeth cleaning (this is the most important thing to me right now) can anyone recommend somebody or a business that’s a good value near Pasadena / Webster?

Their official opening is Friday October 16th but soft opening is going on right now. Also it was told to me their website ordering is not available yet due to expectation of high demand during their official opening date.

Does anyone have recent experience with jury duty at the Pasadena courthouse? I’ve been checking in since Monday and haven’t been called, but now I have to report tomorrow at 12pm. Should I expect to be there for hours waiting to be called? What kinds of questions do they ask during jury selection? I’m also trying to figure out my childcare situation but I’ve heard that's not an excuse anymore. Appreciate any info!
