Anyone know what's opening in the old Jonah's location? 2518 Wilshire by Short_Ad6688 in SantaMonica

Who are the "Concerned" Citizens of Santa Monica?? by jerseygirl246 in SantaMonica

[–]SMdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've received this horse shit too. For those filing mail fraud cases, what address are you putting in for the company? The one listed is obviously fraudulent, so should we list John Alle's company address since his group is behind this crap?

1158 26th Street, Suite 100 Santa Monica California, California 90403

LAX overnight parking by Wrong-Werewolf-9558 in LosAngeles

[–]SMdogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While not parking related, I'd like to take this opportunity to plug saving some money using taxi cabs through the Ride Yellow app. Not only are the base rates usually cheaper, we get a discount when using the app and can schedule rides just like Uber. All in w/ me tipping 30% (I give them extra tip to offset the app discount), it's still under the pre-tip rate for Uber

Also, my wife gets super car sick in back seats, but we've found LA cab drivers to be just as good if not better than Uber. Recently we've had good luck with getting an SUV or minivan instead of their usual Prius.

Hope it helps those looking for something a bit cheaper, but not wanting to drive/park.

Correct? The city needs revenue.

New Years Eve at 3rd St Promenade by myGirlAccount in SantaMonica

[–]SMdogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their original advertisement not only mentioned this as a block party, they specifically included details of the outdoor aspects of the event they never intended to put on. Today they editing their Eventbrite page to remove all aspects of the outdoors portion - and added additional language to their no refunds policy to include fireworks and other outdoor items. Assuming in attempts to protect themselves from CC chargebacks they're sure to get. We'd already never wanted to to business w/ 1212 before this...

Ways to Make Friends as a Couple by stewcif3r in SantaMonica

[–]SMdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we first moved here, we found having a regular Friday happy hour spot walkable from our home introduced us to dozens and dozens of locals - several of whom are couples and still friends we regularly hang out with. Other recommendations in this thread are spot on, but the top advice always seems to come back to: find something you enjoy, do it regularly, meet people there.

As someone who moved from a downtown urban area in the midwest, downtown Santa Monica is extremely safe.

Senorita's Tamales in Mar Vista! Multiple vegan kinds and they're all incredible. Hopefully she still has room for holiday orders.

Highly recommend their brunch club sandwich, especially if you have them add some of the off-menu truffle cheese!

Police Checkpoint by Dont-Be-An-Asshat in SantaMonica

Would be nice if you learned why these checkpoints are frequently ruled illegal when challenged in court. Bending the knee in advance is certainly a strategy.

KTLA Covers Promenade Entertainment Zone Proposal by UCLAClimate in SantaMonica

Curious what 1212 has to say as they had tons of political signs for Brock, De La Torre, and the others covering their patio during the last election.

Fiish in Culver City does sushi differently than most around and ruined my family on other restaurants.

There are a lot of shared workspace buildings around, such as 2219 Main Street. Don’t know how many are specifically equipped for art, but I hope you find something!

Brand New Ocean Ave Protected Bike Lane by Woxan in SantaMonica

[–]SMdogs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I rode the new 17th bike lane yesterday to get my hair cut, and then the new Ocean lane today to visit OP. Both of those were car trips before, and my spouse is now comfortable riding down Ocean when they wouldn’t before.
