I keep reading about Reese's performance* and while I could watch at home, I was wondering if there are any good spots for watching the WNBA Finals around Dena(s)?

Hey fellow Pasadenans,

I'm pondering getting an EV despite living in an apartment with no charger (no charger at my office either). How delusional am I?

Anyone in the area successfully do this? Do you hate your life? Which local charging stations do you use?

I live in the Playhouse District. Anyone have experience with the Tesla Superchargers on Arroyo Pkwy/Glenarm? Are these actually reliable (as in, functional and typically available)? I've heard the chargers in the Shoppers Ln parking lot are frequently out of order; anyone know if that's true?

Thanks!

Hi neighbors! My kid's school is hosting a fundraiser at Shake Shack if you happen to grabbing a meal there today. You can just mention the donation day at the register or use promo code DONATE. They'll donate 25% of sales back to our school at the end of the day. (If any other parents or sports teams are looking to fundraise, the process has been a breeze and they've been really nice so would highly suggest!)

Got someone in my neighborhood who have a dog they're neglecting. It's just left outside, super skinny and dirty, I feel so bad for her. I asked the owner if I can buy her if they don't want her, and they said no.

But she's not taken care of, I can't just let it go. I called the local humane society, and they're just 🤷‍♂️ "seems fine to me". Are there any other options?

Hi, I have a referral and need a good doctor for an ADHD assessment. I’m 43f, and would like to stay somewhat local. Thanks in advance!

Mods approved this post, thank you. It's my own channel. Here's why it's relevant to this sub and where to find the local parts:

Why it matters here: the Eaton fire left many Altadena and Pasadena homes standing but full of smoke, and the FAIR Plan's smoke rule decided who got paid to clean them.

Timestamps:

- 2:36 The Eaton and Palisades fires, and a house that survived "full of smoke" with a $2,800 offer against a $10,000 deductible

- 5:23 The FAIR Plan's smoke rule ("visible to the eye or detectable by the nose") and the LA Superior Court ruling that called it unlawful

- 5:46 Maral Donoyan of Altadena: her smoke claim was denied

- 6:02 Angela Giacchetti of Altadena: nearly $200,000 out of pocket

- 6:15 The first smoke-damage test trial, set for October 2027

- 6:37 LA County's investigation, opened Oct 7, 2026, citing a survey where 67% of FAIR Plan customers were dissatisfied

Every number is sourced in the video description. If you went through a FAIR Plan smoke claim after the Eaton fire, I'd like to hear how it went, and if I got something wrong, tell me and I'll pin the correction.

The other day there was a post about the poor condition of the westbound 210 between Baldwin and Lake. Someone posted a link to CalTrans, so I made a complaint and they are telling me that they’ve corrected the problems. I haven’t been along there, so I’m wondering if they did anything to improve the situation. Is anything any better?

Is Hastings ranch good? I know they go all out for Christmas decorations, so I wonder if that applies to Halloween too :)

I know the major museums and the Rose Bowl, but I’m after the smaller, more local options. Galleries, performances, readings- anything that locals support and visitors tend to miss. What are your regular spots, and when is the local arts scene especially lively?

Hi!! I have an urgent need to print like 5-10 27x40 posters by Friday morning at the latest!!!! Can someone please point me in the right direction? 🙏🙏🙏
