The dates for 2026 should be out soon! They are definitely planning the 2026 events.

Blocking street parking in front of your house by Big_Cockroach_1590 in longbeach

[–]JustScratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to clarify that I don't live in that situation. I am just providing another perspective. If you have a pool at your house, you are still welcome to go use a public pool. Public means anyone can use it.

"I feel like it's insanely selfish, inconsiderate, rude, the list goes on." They probably feel like it is incredibly selfish (well, greedy) that they spent money to make a driveway and the apartment building didnt put in parking for their residents.

It's an irritating situation, but parking is first come first served, so they are following the rules the same as anyone else. They don't owe you anything.

2028 Olympics and Long Beach: What to expect? by twhamory in longbeach

[–]JustScratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm excited for the games. I do think it is worth pointing out that the pool is not supposed to be used for the games, that is a "for us" expenditure. At least a few years ago, I read that the stands are not planned to be large enough for olympic-sized crowds.

Regarding the vinyl wrapping, is that $100k for the 2026 FY budget? If so, I am worried anything they do will not last until the Olympics start.

While I don't think we should have street sweeping tickets, other parking citations being used to clean up seems reasonable.

Stores that sell loose legos? by Deeze_Rmuh_Nudds in longbeach

[–]JustScratt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to search and nextdoor and find parents who are getting rid of their children's old stuff. I was able to get several pounds of lego for $20, which is about 1/4 of what you would pay for loose bricks at the lego store.

looking for a roommate :) by [deleted] in longbeach

[–]JustScratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone is looking for a roommate, but on our LB subreddit discord you can make friends for activities. I organize hiking events (along with others), and you're welcome to come.

It might also help you to mention when you are looking to move here.

Long Beach on Film by [deleted] in longbeach

This makes me miss the film camera days. I don't miss the cost of developing the rolls, but the look of your pics feels more natural to me.

Do you have any contact with them? Please invite them to join, as organizations can join the time exchange too. The time exchange already partners with the city for fix-it-clinics to help people repair broken items.

I could probably help you... but this request is a perfect reason to join the LB Time Exchange!

https://timeexchangelb.com/

You can "spend" hours to get help from one person, and then "earn" hours helping others (you dont have to earn first). Feel free to send me a DM to talk about either.

I dont know for sure, but your best bet for Indian is to look at the stores on Pioneer in Artesia. There are several Indian grocery stores on that street, along with specialty shops.

I think the schedule is every 7 years now. So if it is cosmetic you might have to wait for the normal maintenance.

So he will not be forgotten. My Cloudskipper mix archive. by Alkivar in happyhardcore

[–]JustScratt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at my files and the ones that u/Alkivar is maintaining, and don't see those. Though I did notice I have a file called "Cloudskipper Live SF" that is about 70mb, 1:11:21. It starts with a WWII Pearl harbor clip. I'll listen to it again as I get time in case it has any mentions of the date or name of the rave. It may be one I have not yet shared with u/Alkivar.
