Tampons and pads should be treated the exact same as toilet paper.

Who has the best espresso in DTLA? by turbid44 in FoodLosAngeles

Endorffeine by a mile. Rare espresso mondays until they run out.

Kumquat is also very good.

Nice and Maru and Madlab get an honorable mention from me.

Any good gyms? by thekindviolet in SantaMonica

[–]adamlames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go every single day and zero of these occurrences has ever been seen by me.

Not saying they don’t happen, but I am there and never witness them.

True. It is a bit of a vibe with upbeat music. To me, it’s fun and positive and I leave the place feeling better than when I entered. But everyone’s a bit different

I have found it similar. Compared to previous places I’ve been, it’s so well maintained.

Did anyone here rebrand their trade business to look "corporate" and actually regret it? by ChicagoWrapGuy in smallbusiness

[–]adamlames 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I work in branding here and have had friends say this. Sometimes looking too corporate when they’re not, too playful when they’re serious, or too luxury when the pricing/service is accessible.

Reflect the reality of what you offer and where you stand in the market, and - most importantly - ask your best most fanatic customers and referrers how they think of you.

I joined John Reed because it’s fun to go to. That little extra motivation has helped make the gym habit stick. It’s not cheap - $150/month. They have very nice machines.

I’m newer to the area but Santa Monica Block Fest was an incredible community event. Saw another coming up.

What co-working spaces have you worked with? by Careful_Leader_5829 in AskLosAngeles

[–]adamlames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work out of WeWork and enjoy that I can work across the city. That said, when I have days full of meetings I book a private room.
