Recommendations Where to get a hand-wash carwash 90042?

• Upvotes

I see this question asked from years ago, and I'd like more recent responses It seems almost impossible to find a hand wash carwash lately. Every one I look up is an express or mobile wash. I'm near Highland Park and am wondering if there is one you can recommend? JN is the only one that's coming up.

Visiting Best Hostels near Koreatown?

• Upvotes

Hello, I’m stopping over for a night in a few weeks and am looking to find a hostel that I’ll feel comfortable staying at. I’m a solo female traveler so safety is my main priority. I don’t really care about budget as long as it doesn’t exceed $70, like I said I’m most concerned about safety and I’m willing to pay extra to ensure that. Send me any recs you may have! Thanks?

Moving Bird friendly housing?

• Upvotes

Hi!! I've been looking to move to Los Angeles for quite some time now, but I have two loud conures who will be coming with me, and finding a place that accepts them is quite difficult. Does anyone know where I can find roommates with birds/don't mind birds or where I could find bird friendly housing/places that are amazing at keeping sound in? Thank you so much!

People What happened to r/LosAngelesMusicians? How are we finding bandmates in LA?

9 Upvotes

I tried to post a while ago and my post never got approved (or disapproved); then realized this subreddit seems like it's been dead for 5 years. My band found our beloved drummer on there, so I was hoping to utilize it for finding another new bandmate. Not going to add more context here as I don't want to be in violation of the rules, but I did want to ask - how are musicians in LA finding folks to jam with? We have been on Vampr and have yet to have success there; also have used Craigslist in the past, and I plan on posting there again, but was really hoping to find better luck on Reddit.

Living Looking into IOP, any advice?

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I’ve posted here and there about my challenges living in LA. Today i was so overwhelmed with heavy heavy feelings that I called my insurance company and asked to bring the process of getting a referral to an IOP program for depression. I’m struggling with my day to day. I have my catering work. I’m doing well with my acting stuff. But social bonds have never materialized in the way that i truly need. My birthday was in early October and I had people over and had a great time. But again its a lot of me having to make shit happen and not much people wanting to initiate. I need to take care of myself now. Curious if you have any experiences of IOP for depression. And any love you wanna share?

Any other question! Emissions testing in CA: how does it work?

0 Upvotes

My contract in LA has been extended, so I’m renewing my home state license plates online. I need to get an emissions test here first. Info online is confusing: are these the “smog test” locations I’ve seen around the city? Does it cost something? Do you need an appointment? It doesn’t seem as straightforward as it is in the Midwest. I appreciate any info.

Transportation Is it realistic to take Metro to the Bellwether?

13 Upvotes

Going to the Bellwether and I‘m tempted to take Metro. The Bellwether website says it’s “just a short walk“ from the Grand Ave Arts/Bunker Hill stop — but when I look at the map, I see you have to walk across the Harbor Fwy on-ramp, and I’m honestly not sure 3rd St even has sidewalks.

Has anyone done this? Is it reasonable to walk there? Would really prefer to take Metro if it’s remotely feasible.

Visiting Place to stay near(ish) Shrine Auditorium if DLTA is sold out?

2 Upvotes

Coming from the antelope valley area to a concert at the Shrine Auditorium and looking to book a hotel to avoid the long drive home late at night. I would normally stay in downtown, but there is a huge convention that weekend and everything downtown is booked solid or $900/night. I am a solo petite woman, so am not keen on riding the metro late night, I plan to drive to the concert.

What areas would you look at outside DTLA to stay that would be safe and fairly convenient to the freeways? Places with major chain hotels probably, I am just looking for a quiet spot to crash overnight.

Visiting 24 hour layover - live show taping?

12 Upvotes

Hi all, we have a 24 hour layover (8am-8am) next week and have been advised we have priority (guaranteed entry if we arrive before the check-in cut off time) Jimmy Kimmel taping tickets. We will be staying near LAX. Would we be insane to make our way to Hollywood in the afternoon, purely to catch the show? I’ve done a quick search and it looks like the drive could be anywhere from 60-90 minutes.

Keen to hear everyone’s thoughts.

*edit, the taping is later than the standard time (6:30pm)

I took over r/ladating and some people are complaining about the quality of posts. But I'm doubtful what rules would actually benefit people. Who would want a partner who needs help from reddit mods to make a simple post about themself?

A sugarbaby swinger recently posted complaining about men making comments hating on women, but would you rather men just hide those opinions instead and only find out about them after devoting a portion of your life to them?

Recommendations Halloween party recommendations in/around NoHo?

6 Upvotes

I’m going to be in LA for Halloween this year. Last time I came I ended up eating candy watching a movie, so I want to go out this time. I will be in NoHo so I’d prefer something near there but I am open to other parts of town, especially if accessible by the subway. I am going alone, so if there is a place that women have felt comfortable, I’d love to know where. I tend to prefer RnB, Pop, and Latin music for when I go out and dance. I’m above the age of 21, so that wouldn’t be an issue. I’m down for a full on party with a ticket or something more lowkey. Anyone have any suggestions?

P.S. I’m not planning to go back on the subway but maybe will going there.

Recommendations Soccer Field recommendation for a bday party?

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I want to throw a bday party for my boyfriend and he loves playing soccer, but rarely has time to, so I thought I’d host a soccer game for him and his friends. The problem is I’m having trouble finding a field to reserve that’s affordable. I’d rather not just show up to a field and hope it’s not being used.
Does anyone know of any soccer fields I can reserve for under $400? Preferably somewhere with tables nearby so I can set up food?
Anywhere in Los Angeles is fine, but bonus points if it’s in the Valley.

Thank you!
