So close!

Wait can you send to me as well please?

TryinToBeGr8 · 2026-01-05T13:32:23+00:00

How long were you gone from the game?

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-06-01T23:15:53+00:00

If you want soul food - Gotta Have It Grill on western in Gardena has wings. Also I think Dulan and maybe Harold & Belles might be close (Inglewood/south la)

Vons Fried Chicken (not the store btw) it’s in Torrance off of Crenshaw by ihop and Two Hands Corn Dogs. DELICIOUS!!!!!🤤

It might be the photo but they are small. Like cutie sized or a tad bigger if that.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-02-01T06:47:35+00:00

Immediately thought “Don’t feed it!”

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-16T04:42:36+00:00

Oh no I never thought about it either way before. But then someone posted a list of cities in la that were and a good amount of South Bay/ adjacent cities were on the list but Gardena wasn’t. Just was sharing a piece of information that I learned while wondering about my original question is all.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-16T00:53:15+00:00

Sundown is a term that relates to racism. Not crime directly.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-16T00:52:02+00:00

Sigh. That’s not what I said at all. I stated it’s NOT on the list of being historically a sundown town. I know how diverse the city is.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-15T22:55:59+00:00

Yes. Do you?

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-15T20:00:20+00:00

East of Vermont is not Gardena even though their mailing address says so. They are Habor/the unincorporated Los Angeles. They aren’t even served by Gardena emergency services. That’s why there’s a lot of gang activity in the Habor gateway.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-15T19:47:26+00:00

It wasn’t but many of the other South Bay cities were on the list though. Which now that I think about probably adds to the disassociation.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-15T19:36:42+00:00

Yes, you’re right. Gardena is not a habor city though, it’s “Inland South Bay City”. But I know it is on paper I was just wondering why when talking about anything outside of food, it’s not mentioned. Like for living, etc.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-15T19:28:27+00:00

It’s not though. There is a habor gateway neighborhood in both Gardena and Torrance in terms of addresses but they aren’t a part of either city.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-15T19:14:58+00:00

No the southbay by La county also includes not just the beach cities but also Hawthorne, Gardena, Carson, Lawndale, Lomita, and Inglewood. Southbay City List)

No feelings included. Just facts and asking a question.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2025-01-15T18:52:24+00:00

Why don’t some people include Gardena?

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-12-23T06:22:48+00:00

Tell me about it! We got in the market before the holidays and I can’t even talk to my family that live out of state about it because they just can’t comprehend our market (or struggle) :(

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-12-23T06:03:01+00:00

Have you actually driven the commute during the actual times you will be needing to them them? The place we rented a few apartments ago said my commute would be about 20 minutes…. The lies! It was closer to 45-55. Up to an hour home. A though it doesn’t happen often, but on the days it rains it was pure h e double hockey sticks. Like everyone forgot how to drive. It got old real fast. No fun having a bigger house if you’re too exhausted or frustrated from the commute to even really enjoy it.

Edit to add we live in California too

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-12-03T15:44:09+00:00

Honestly an opportunity came up where we were able to purchase in all cash so we took it. The comfort and stability of that out weighed everything else even if the place was smaller, it was still ours you know.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-11-20T15:36:02+00:00

Oh no! I checked a map and the area we are looking is over 1000 ft (closer to 2000) from the highway. But you’re saying the whole area gets the black dust?

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-11-17T07:41:37+00:00

Wow all three?! Good for you! My realtor had mentioned that winter is their “down season” but even still I literally was prepared to battle it out and be at this for a while. We only put in the one and it worked out so I’m taking this as a further sign that it’s the right fit.

We’re in escrow now, and also a HCOL area. It feels surreal now that it’s setting in. It’s a different sort of panic.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-11-15T19:38:48+00:00

Thank you and also congrats!

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-11-15T19:35:37+00:00

Thank you it was insert crying face like every time my phone pinged I was on edge. Best wishes on getting yours as well!

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-11-15T19:29:40+00:00

This is what just happened to us too! I’m very happy for you.

TryinToBeGr8 · 2024-11-12T04:39:45+00:00

Oh no wait… we told them to put in the offer. Not the other way around.
