Any leads?

Assuming this was a funeral procession honoring a fallen firefighter, paramedic, etc. I couldn't find any info about it, wondering if anybody knew anything.

Haircut/Stylist Recommendations

2 Upvotes

Wife is looking for a reasonably affordable, but still good quality salon or stylist for her hair and I was hoping to see if anyone had recommendations or experiences to share. She's not looking for anything high-end or fancy, but at the same time hasn't been satisfied with your typical Supercuts/Fantastic Sams/JC Penney budget places. Anybody with something in the happy medium in between? TIA

Places that accept hair & cosmetic donations?

7 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a place that accepts donations of hair products, cosmetics, things of that nature?

I have a lot of things from Ipsy, Birchbox, etc that have never been opened along with products I barely used. It would be great to make sure they’re going to a good place. I can’t bring myself to throw away perfectly good products but also don’t have the time to do the Facebook marketplace / Craigslist stuff.

Would be ideal if the place was around TO or a 15-20 minute drive from there, but I’m open to going farther for a place that is guaranteed to accept and make good use of these things. Also open to shipping.

Thanks!

Local charity to drop off foreign small change?

5 Upvotes

I have a bunch of small change from various countries. I haven't counted it, but it's not a lot. A few jars' worth of coins. Is there a local charity in the area that accepts random foreign currency?

Just moved from the Bay area and can't find a reliable sauna location. Gold gym was the only one I can find and it wasn't the great. Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks

Anyone know where to get an Asian Korean/japanese digital perm? I am looking for loose waves for fine Asian hair. I’ve only found places in LA that are $300+. Looking for somewhere closer and less expensive

Is there anywhere local that sells Blu-rays, specifically Ultra HD discs?

Seems like the local Walmart and Best Buy don't sell physical media. I'm trying to hunt down a specific Ultra HD movie to watch this weekend. Are there any stores that sell these?

White usps Collection box

15 Upvotes

Today after mailing a package at Postal Annex off Janss and Moorpark, I noticed a postal drop bin. I haven’t mailed my Christmas cards so I went home and then went back and dropped them off there. As I was dropping the envelopes in, I noticed there wasn’t any like post office pick up times sticker or any post office labeling on it. I wasn’t really thinking and just dropped all of them off and continued on my day. This post office drop box was painted white. Does this mean it’s no longer in use and my mail is essentially stuck in there ? Has anyone ever used this drop box?

Apt Complexes Reviews/Recommendations?

7 Upvotes

I'm going to move into an apt in TO with my partner and want to see what people know/heard of for some apartment complexes in terms of what it's like to live in them, pros/cons, etc.

Has anyone lived in the following apartments or know someone who has? It's hard to get a sense of some apartments based on reviews and websites and we are trying to narrow down which complexes to tour. The following are all within budget and have amenities my partner and I are looking for.

Arrive Laurie Lane

Charter Oaks

77 North

Arroyo Villa

Wilbur Oaks

If anyone has insight it would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: one non-negotiable is in-unit laundry. The apts on this list either have it in select apts or all apts. If anyone has recommendations for apts that have in unit laundry that isn’t on this list, that would also be helpful.

Place to Donate Ping Pong Ball and Paddle Set

6 Upvotes

I am going through some things after moving up here and this is next on my list. We bought this set during covid and used it once. It's a good set that I believe originally was $50. I listed it on OfferUp last week but have had no inquiries. I'm not looking to make any money, I just want them to be used. If you know of a place or someone that can use them please let me know.

Empty lots/spaces for defunct vehicle?

1 Upvotes

I have an undrivable vehicle in Thousand Oaks. I need to move it, I want to move it somewhere it can just rot for the rest of its days. I can’t sell it because I’m still paying it off. I can’t get it fixed because it’s old and outside of warranty. All I can do with it is ditch it somewhere. Does anyone know a place in TO or near TO I could get it towed to rest? I’d ask if anyone would be interested in buying it but its junk worth next to nothing with 6k left to pay on it, I doubt anyone would buy. If you want any of its parts, I don’t mind selling for cheap (like the catalytic converter or wheels).

People complaining about helicopter noise! There's a fire, people!

68 Upvotes

Just when you think you have heard it all. We kept our phone alerts on all night just in case we got an evacuation order. Then I read a post from someone whining that the helicopters (fighting the Malibu fire) kept waking them up last night. I hardly ever say it but WTF!

Trump Procession

Did anybody else see the Trump procession on TO Blvd today?

What's the point? Driving around with "We Won" flags? Intimidation? Just worshipping their cult leader? Has this sort of thing ever happened with any other presidents?
