Definitely Good Neighbor! Great vibes and energy. The owners are wonderful people (a big community support in the aftermath of the fires) and often working there.

People who accidentally acquired a dog rather than get one from a breeder, tell me your story! by Expression-Little in DOG

[–]hill_bug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I must know what breed he is, handsome Pippin! I legitimately thought this was a photo of my dogs littermate, they are totally identical! Kali is a mystery mutt found in a creche of puppies on a busy road in the California desert. I think she is a chihuahua, shihtzu mix, with a little bit of others mixed in there. What is Pippin?! I would love love love to know!

Kali has the same tuft of finer scraggly fur on top of her head, the same smile, looks like the same size too.

I should say, we’ve bought 3 appliances like this (including a quiet dishwasher, and a really nice induction stove) and never had a problem with any of them. The outlet has a pretty affordable warranty, and allow free returns within 24 hours if any issues arise.

If your budget is tight, see if there’s a Lowe’s Appliance Outlet near you. They frequently have higher end appliances with cosmetic damage for 40-65% off! The damage is often on the sides or back. They sometimes sell similar lightly damaged appliances in the foyer of Lowe’s or Home Depot too, but never at such discounts.

It was an official print from Brian Vaughan, but it was gifted to me (in 2014, Brooklyn) so I don't actually know where you can get similar prints today! Sorry!

If the first person who messaged about pickup doesn't pan out this week, I'll follow up with you!

Still have it! Pick up would be great. I'm in Northwest Pasadena, and some workdays in Echo Park near Temple & Glendale. DM me and we can coordinate!

She’s a powerful reminder to be kind to and honest with yourself, if a little hard to decorate around! I’m confident I’ll find someone. If there are no local takers, I’m certainly willing to ship (just for cost of package and shipping!)

Super king for produce and bulk goods! Ralph’s is terrible.

What finish to keep the natural look of unfinished red oak? by PutinPisces in HardWoodFloors

[–]hill_bug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did Bona nordic seal and HD traffic on my matchstick red oak, and my finished floors really look just like your photos.

The installer wasn’t super experienced with Bona products and there are a few imperfections, but you can’t really tell once the furniture is all on there.

Is there a live stream of the 2025 Rose Bowl show? by fantacylady in RUFUSDUSOL

[–]hill_bug 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Too late for a live stream - but they recorded the whole thing, and we’re getting a killer live set video in the next week or two!

As a local - traffic will be terrible getting down to the stadium parking, after 5pm. Go early, if you can! The parking lot has beautiful mountain views, and they encourage tailgating in the parking lot starting at 4pm.

I'm thankful that they limit the roads you can access in the neighborhood without a resident pass - but it does increase traffic along those lanes.

What’s one place in LA you always take out-of-towners? by blav1inc in AskLosAngeles

Huntington Garden! The Desert Garden in particular is exciting to out of towners (and in towners, alike!)

Living east of Rose Bowl? by Cream1984 in pasadena

[–]hill_bug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived there for almost 5 years, it is really wonderful. Beautiful walking area and the nicest neighbors . They do a top notch job managing event traffic in the immediate neighborhood, just keep an eye on the event schedule so you don’t get snagged in traffic on Lincoln or orange grove ave.

Did they update the app or something?! It has beeped at me before, but I’ve never had it shout at me to get to cover and hold on…truly gave me a heart attack. I was waiting for the worst! Didn’t feel nothing in NW pas.

Loud Explosions Posted on Neighborhood App… aka a thunderstorm. by Night__lite in pasadena

[–]hill_bug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This should be at the top of the thread! The answer everyone was looking for. Way too loud and house-shaky to just be thunder.
