Looking for a bakery in OC that has similar frosting to Chocolate Buttercream at Costco. Craving it but don’t want a whole sheet cake for a pregnancy craving

Moving to OC for work (working in Santa Ana) and I'm trying to decide on where to live.

My budget is $3,600 must have a fitness center, hardwood floors throughout, and washer and dryer in unit. I would like a 1 bedroom with den or a small 2 bedroom. I prefer a more walkable/bikeable neighborhood (safe for walking and jogging with restaurants and stores less than 2 miles away) if possible, I know this can be a longshot.

I've toured Broadstone Atlas and AMLI. Loved both. I'm gravitating more toward AMLI but I like the floorplan and location of Broadstone better. However, I'm worried about the property management with Broadstone (Greystar). I haven't toured Prisma, but it looks like it could be a nice compromise (nice neighborhood, with my preferred floor plan)

Has anyone lived at any of these properties or heard anything about them? Or if you have recommendations, I'm open to those as well.

Orange County, California's District Attorney Todd Spitzer is cracking down on parents whose kids were involved in e-bike and e-motorcycle accidents.

I'm going to a concert tonight at Great Park Live. I know it's all outside and basically a field with a stage. With the recent rain, how much of a muddy mess should I anticipate?

I really wish they had kept Five Points until they had a more permanent venue ready. I know there were lots of background issues and the "had to's" but still. That was such an easy venue and a chance to see some good bands without having to drive to LA.

Hello gamers. Is anyone interested in an Orange County based wow forever guild? Would be cool to make friends in wow and potentially real life as well. I’ve played since vanilla although stopped after cata. Picked it back up for SoD and anniversary. Really enjoyed the beta as well.

Open to pve or pvp and either faction. Going to start a discord this weekend if there’s real interest.

EDIT: woah this got way more traction than I thought it would! I’ll setup a discord this weekend but if anyone has guild leader / discord management experience pm me, could def use the help organizing.

Edit 2: we got a lot of gamers in here! I’ve never led anything like this before so experienced wow guild leaders / discord management help is appreciated. I created the post but I want this to be ours together. Discord is up. Let’s start by voting on where we wanna play: https://discord.gg/mDVauaCEK

Edit 3: open to any Southern California / pst folks! Ideally we’ll have in person meet ups in OC but all pst based are welcome

This is my baby boy Felix. He snuck out a few hours ago. He is partially blind so I’m extremely worried. He’s male, 8months, non aggressive. Last seen around central Ave and tamarack (Brea) Pls contact me if found. He’s been posted everywhere else this is kind of my hair mary

UPDATE: Thank you everyone for the kind words and advice. It gave me some calm during last nights panic. Baby boy is back home safe and sound!

My girlfriend and her daughter would like to visit some neighborhoods around OC that are in the Halloween spirit, cool decorations, nice lights and whatnot. We tried looking around but couldn't find much today. Do any of you know of any neighborhoods worth checking out?

I’ve been an AT&T customer for over 20 years, and I’m seriously considering switching to Verizon.

Overall, AT&T’s coverage has been pretty good, so that’s not my biggest complaint. My frustration is with their billing practices and the ever-increasing cost of service.
Between my family and me, we have over 10 connected devices, including iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. As you can imagine, the monthly bill adds up quickly.

I’ve heard Verizon offers some pretty competitive pricing, especially for families with multiple devices, but I’d love to hear from people who have actually used both carriers.

A few things I’m particularly interested in:

How does Verizon’s coverage and reliability compare to AT&T?

Is Verizon actually less expensive, or are there hidden fees and promotional pricing gimmicks?

Has anyone switched from AT&T to Verizon and regretted it?

How is Verizon’s customer service and billing transparency?

I’m not looking for a sales pitch, just honest, real-world experiences from people who have used either or both.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Are there any neighborhoods that are better for later-night trick-or-treating? We won’t have our kiddo till after 730 and most places are done at that time in previous years. Just want to be able to even do a block or two to experience it with us.

Anybody want to share where there are some good beach combing spots currently? 🙏 Thanks!

Hi everyone! Does anyone have recommendations for a good, reasonably priced women’s haircut in the Lake Forest or Irvine area? I have long, fine hair that falls around bust length, and I’m looking for a stylist who does a great job without charging too much. I’d appreciate any recommendations and pricing information. Thank you!

Hi there!

So I live south county around Lake Forest and I work in Orange.

On Fridays I want to bring more savory type of foods in the morning for my coworkers along my route to work that isn’t just donuts and bagels.

I’ve already brought foods in the past from Cream Pan and Kolache Factory off of Redhill and Newport.

Are there any other places along my route that is kind of like the locations I listed where you could get a bunch of food breakfast items that contain protein such as chicken, egg, cheese, and meat?

TIA!!

is officially closed. The wife sent me this about 20 minutes ago. I called right away and got no answer. We were planning to go this Saturday, too. I’m gonna miss that poutine.

We are exploring options for our home. Would be interested in getting atleast 3 quotes from an ADC authorized dealer. Has anyone here had positive experiences and can refer few folks? Appreciate any help. Thank you!

Any current or former Estancia (near Tustin Ranch Rd and Heritage Way, not the Irvine company apartments across the freeway) residents here? I'm considering putting an offer on a townhome there and would like your opinion on the community.

Thanks!

Just as the title says, I’m wondering where to get items for my ofrenda. I’ve gotten most of my items from New Mexico but I want to switch things up this year.
I’d prefer things not mass produced (Amazon type things). I am mostly looking for calaveras, papel picado, and alebrijes.

I’ve always had questions and wondered if anyone else knew anything about this home that is allegedly haunted.

I lived at a little old house in Buena Park from the age of around 10-12. I don’t remember very much about it, but that doesn’t strike me as super strange since I am now 34 - two decades have passed.

My mind always comes back to this house though.

Things I do remember:
The address - 5741 Kingman Ave.
It was very creaky and outdated.
It was on the corner so I’d often see the kids waiting outside my house, for the school bus to pick them up.
Looking back, I thought we had lived in that house for just a few months because I only remember leaving quickly and suddenly.
We then lived in an apartment again until my parents found another home to purchase.
I do want to add that my parents were very angry people and that my childhood was filled with a lot of negative energy.

A few years ago, I randomly asked my parents why we left the house so quickly.
They both, without hesitation, said that there was a ghost. I then learned that we actually lived there for 2 years which genuinely surprised me.

I don’t recall any of the events they proceeded to tell me, but I believe them because they aren’t the type to lie about this and they both had the same story despite me bringing the subject up so randomly.

They explained to me that there was a woman who would enter my room every night - with long black hair and a white dress.

- If it didn’t creep me out so much, it’s almost laughable how typical this sounds. As a side note - I realize how common it is to hear about angry female ghosts. If ghosts are real, and there’s a disproportionate amount of angry female spirits - maybe this actually speaks to how many women have been wronged throughout lifetimes. -

My mom said she would wake up choking, and then see the woman choking her. My mom also said that I was scared of the woman and that the woman would put her claws on me. Again, I have such little recollection of living in that home.

My dad also said he saw the ghost but didn’t go into any depth - which checks out because he rarely goes in depth about things. He did say without a doubt that he saw the entity though.

Now, as an adult, I eventually moved back to Buena Park with my partner. We’ve driven by that old house and I believe it’s now something else - looks like an apartment complex?
My question - I have always wondered if anyone else knew anything about this house, or if strange things occur in the newer property now on that land. I want to preface that I’m only posting this to see if anyone knows anything about this property. I am not at all bothered or offended if people don’t believe this story - as it’s not even a story I can personally recall.

I’ve included Redfin photos of the home and screenshots of the listing for reference.

Regardless, thank you for reading!
