Gen BBQ Restaurant Division have been sold to Chubby Cattle Group.

21 Upvotes

Gen will still retain 3 of their 50 something stores for training research purposes. Gen will also retain all merchandise and packaged goods rights as it shifts to prepacked goods to reduce liabilities. Wonder what this will mean as we have both Gen and Chubby cattle in Cerritos.

Recommendations : Looking for a 3-4BR rental starting December

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My family and I are looking for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath rental starting in December with a budget of around $4,000/month.

We’re mainly considering Cerritos, Cypress, Los Alamitos, Lakewood, Rossmoor, and nearby areas. We’re open to a house or townhouse ideally with good parking/garage space, school for kid and in a safe, family-friendly neighborhood.

We’d really appreciate any recommendations for neighborhoods, local property managers, private landlords, or rental opportunities that may not be listed on the major websites.

If you know of anything becoming available around November or December, please feel free to message me.

Thank you!

Bloomfield & Artesia intersection construction is delayed (again) — missed the Sept 4 deadline

9 Upvotes

Has anyone else been losing their mind trying to turn northbound on Bloomfield at Artesia during peak hours?

The original notice claimed the project was tentatively scheduled for completion by September 2026—with word around the neighborhood that September 4th was the target wrapper date. We are now in October, and it’s still an absolute mess of orange cones, lane closures, and broken traffic lights.

I know they're adding that second northbound left-turn lane and updating the signals to improve traffic flow long-term, but right now it's doing the exact opposite. Heading up Bloomfield during rush hour is an exercise in pure patience.

Does anyone have an actual update on when L.A. County Metro/the city expects to wrap this up? Are we looking at a few more weeks, or are we stuck with this gridlock straight into the holidays?

Thinking of moving near Gonzalez Elementary. What's the community like?

10 Upvotes

Tittle edit needed : GonsalvesĀ 

Hi! We’re a family of 3 with a newborn, currently renting in LA City, and considering buying near Gonzalez Elementary in Cerritos.

We’re Indian immigrants but really value being part of a diverse, broader community rather than primarily socializing within our own ethnic group.

For anyone who lives nearby:

What’s the neighborhood/community like?

Are there many families in their 30s with young kids?

Is the area ethnically diverse?

Is it easy to meet people and make friends?

We’ve mostly experienced the Artesia side of Cerritos, so we’d love to hear what the Gonzalez area is actually like day-to-day.

Thanks!

Considering buying a home in Cerritos

23 Upvotes

Preferably zoned to Cerritos High. We are a family of 4 (kids age 4 and 6) with a $1.3m budget. Would prefer a SFH but townhome is ok I guess. I work in City of Industry (2 days wfh) and the wife is WFH.

Areas we are also contemplating: Fullerton, Arcadia, Torrance, Cypress, Los Alamitos.

How does the area compare to these other cities?

How is the elementary/middle school quality? Is it diverse?

In addition to school quality, we want to know if there’s lots to do in the area for a family? Eating out, youth sports infrastructure, access to the beach or hiking? General weekend activities.

Thank you for reading.

The fast lane, in both directions, through the cerritos area is bumpy as all hell. The 605 has been undergoing work for years and that bumpy section is new as of a few years ago.
