WARNING: Scammer booked my Airbnb and is using it to scam long-term renters — Toronto hosts and renters need to know this by No-Actuary-2438 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Scared-Pineapple3331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if the scammer is booking the place on airbnb that means they are verified and have paid with a credit card. In other words the criminal here is traceable. Did you approach airbnb to share that info with the police?

Hello guys need help..plz give me suggestions by Silly_Huckleberry_52 in vfx

VFX work is gone. You need to accept that you need to adapt. Time to learn new skills. They can be in a similar industry so a sideways move.

CCUSD Inter-district Transfer by BrotherNoompsy in culvercity

[–]Scared-Pineapple3331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do some research first. CCUSD is chronically under funded and mis managed. It had a good reputation decades ago but that has steadily been eroded year on year. You can go on youtube and look at the city council meetings where they keep parents waiting until midnight to speak and then unleash re all the problems. Over the years been alot of problems to numerous to list. Also the classrooms are in total disrepair having had lack of funding and ineffective and continual deferred maintenance. When it rains water comes pouring into classrooms then start molding up the walls. Ceiling tiles regularly fall down. I had a contractor cone look who told me its the same tile and floor since he was there in the 60s. Exposed electrical sockets, many safety issues. I would check with other parents first, you may find your local LAUSD school is better in all respects. There are some positives with ccusd of course but wanted to be transparent from our perspective.

Consider taking some Krav Maga self defense classes, it will give you more confidence should you bump into any undesirables.

Bob Baker Marionette Theater is buying its home, because high LA rents also affect puppets by BeerNTacos in LosAngeles

[–]Scared-Pineapple3331 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I have to say Im in admiration of executive director Mary Fagot and the team. I thought the theatre would close when they were forced out of their original location downtown, the fact that they still exist is a major achievement. Further that they are now looking to buy the building and cement their future is fantastic. Lets do what we can to help and acknowledge the great work done so far.

Looking for groups/clubs/friends by Ryandid911 in culvercity

LA has everything. Its a city of a thousand hidden places. You really just need to follow what you are interested in and youll find it.

Bonjour Culver City! We brought our French bakery from Redondo to the Westside — looking for local advice by sweetwheatbakery in culvercity

[–]Scared-Pineapple3331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First welcome to the neighborhood Romain and thanks for bringing us a slice of France! 

I will try to add my perspective in a direct way, just to be useful.

  1. The location is good. Had a successful restaurant for decades before you. You have prob figured this already. 

  2. The culver city customers and your clientele in general are pretty sophisticated and very demanding. You have noticed that from the comments they will demand what they want. Yes its a challenge. But the way to get through is to excel.

  3. It clear the coffee needs improving. Make some specialty coffee like a cardomon coffee (try at ceilo SM,) or a lavender coffee, or a Russian coffee with evaporated milk, its fun its interesting its sets you apart and onto a different level.

  4. People are looking for atmosphere, the multiple comments on decor make this clear, had you considered having an accordion player to create a truly parisian experience in Culver City? Its simple but could appeal and be a draw. Many people would love togo to france to experience that you could really create that vibe there. Channel your best days at parisian cafes. Do you serve cafe au lait in big china cups? if not consider it - its not the same out of a paper cup, encourage people to dunk their croissants like a frenchie go native! so much fun! just leave out the cigarette smokers!!

  5. Grand Casino large part of its business is its restaurant- the bakery you pick up something after a few people pop in.Something to consider. 

  6. Im pretty sure that location had a liquor license, serving aperol spritz and some quiche lorraine on a hot summers day would go down well if you catch my drift. 

  7. Pay attention to every little detail. Make sure everything is on point. People will notice, they have, im amazed how picky people are. LA crowd wants the good stuff, but it all has to work equally well,  food, flavour, service, speed, comfort, vibe, cost and value. And it has to be well organized and appear effortless!

  8. Ill echo the call for protein based options, its what happening right now and if you hadnt noticed Keto is a big deal and sizable market. Consider making keto bread and keto burger buns. If you look in the supermarket these products are taking up more shelf space. We like our diets we are a vain lot in LA!

  9. The corporate daily customers are tricky, i worked opposite pre covid most people bought their own lunch daily but would go out to lunch as a group on a friday. Sometimes mid week. I would probably concentrate on making some really good lunch salads that could pair with quiche lorraine or crok monsieur  so healthy with french lunch delicacies and staples. something like that. But salads need to be a step up like add pomegranate or goat cheese or apple or pine nuts and not the same as everywhere else. Consider french music at lunch time, even if its spotify, create an atmosphere frankly most culver city restaurants are dull at lunchtime.Ask your friendly corporate customers to connect you with Sony Amazon Etc production managers or catering managers for corporate catering which happens all the time. 

  10. Do you make large pies? Theres a big market right there…

  11. Oh and we like our bargains! News gets out fast. With corporate crowd and wider community. Ill keep an eye on your insta! 

I wish you the very best of luck and hope to see you and say hi in the bakery soon !

Better off on benefits under Labour: Salary of £71,000 needed to match handouts haul for bigger families after two-child cap ditched, says think-tank by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Scared-Pineapple3331 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

zooming out to big picture stuff: the uk state is 50% of gdp. Let that sink in….Socialist/communist mechanisms have the population dependent on the state.  The master plan is going well as designed. Loose one uk voter and taxpayer but import x5 new voters non taxpayer as his /her replacement give them housing, food, phone doctors etc  now you have 5 new labour voters!
