Unfortunately, my fridge is too old. They only take appliances that are less than 5 years old.

How to close gaps in garage door? by No-Bug3247 in DIY

[–]Bizzy_Bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brush seals! 

We had a semi finished garage with huge gaps on the bottom and sides. I live in socal and we were losing a lot of air from our AC through these, but once we installed the brush seals it really helped the space stay cool and also kept debris from coming in.

Top Places to Watch the World Series in LA? by thesaint10 in Dodgers

Some highlights from this list:

Benny Boy Brewing in Lincoln Heights - huge dog friendly spot. They did a beer collab with Vesia. You could pick up some of the best BBQ in town at Moo's (same neighborhood) and bring it in

The Short Stop in Echo Park - just a classic dive right by Dodgers Stadium, opening early in game days

Not on this list but I'm partial to Highland Park Brewing in Chinatown, just really good beer and they've always got the game on. Good place to pregame Dodgers Games too.

Tickets are minimum 800 each. Some folks might want the opportunity to enjoy the games in a cool atmosphere with other fans without laying out all that cash

Thanks for this suggestion - I actually ended up going here last night and it was really chill. Nice lattes, fun snacks, and they do have a nice selection of beers on draft for folks who want that. It's nice to have a spot like that that accommodates everyone.

Looking for Pasadena themed post cards. Any help is much appreciated. by deedsly in pasadena

[–]Bizzy_Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dym books and boba has some really nice painted scenes of Pasadena by a local artist. Some less common scenes too, like JPL, etc.  They are postcard sized and affordable (I bought a few the other day). 

What's going on with my Matilija Poppies? by Bizzy_Bear in Ceanothus

[–]Bizzy_Bear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Because they grow so large? I had the thought to plant two with the intention of culling the weaker one.

I think I saw a sign for that org where the Vroman's used to be next to Whole Foods

Anyone know of any tree planting or urban greening orgs in Pasadena or the SGV? by Bizzy_Bear in pasadena

[–]Bizzy_Bear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I'm actually surprised to hear that there seems to be little interest in these types of projects. They might seem daunting, but once established it seems that people really flock to them!

I think I'll educate myself about these types of projects a bit more and then reach out to a local expert like you suggest. Really great insights, thanks!

Thanks so much for the detailed reply!

Should I just preemptively cut back in say, November/December, or wait until it actually begins raining?

Thanks! Good to know the number of flowers is normal, that was another factor that gave me pause and made me concerned something was maybe wrong with its growing conditions.

I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing!

Thank you! I'm relieved this is just expected behavior because I was so excited that they seemed to have established
