I am in search of a dance studio in Irvine for a 4 year old. I heard of Focus Dancing near UCI but the Saturday morning session, which would be the best time for me, was closed. Googled what I was looking for and saw Dance Emotion. Anyone has any experience with them? Any other suggestions...

My second grade son has been doing homework since preschool. In preschool, he was getting a package of 5 pages to be done at the end of the week (so one page/night). In kindergarten, he continued with this amount of homework. In first grade, the homework doubled (10 pages/week) + 15 minutes...

My bet is that it will close over a million. My husband thinks it will sell for the asking price. He owes me dinner... if he loses.

I also went to this open house and I really liked the place. If we didn't buy already, this would be something I would really be interested in for the "listed price", of course. However, I know the buzz is that it will close at a much higher price. Could one of the realtors on this blog...

Don't know much about this particular area but I will be attending a concert here in a few months. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good sushi places or just good restaurants to try out near the center. Thanks!

I did not make a complete stop at the red light before turning right.... $200 seems more "reasonable" to me. For a $500 fine, you would have thought I must ran over someone...and then backed up over them ;)

joeyp, thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, it was a red light, not stop sign. I am slowly moving towards the fifth stage of grieving...acceptance. I'm taking out the checkbook as I type....

The exact CVC 21453 a. I'll take a look at that website you suggested. Thanks!

I was afraid you guys would say that.... well, expensive lesson learned.

for a "rolling stop." It's going to cost $500!!!!! What can I do to reduce the fine? Only second ticket in my life and I didn't remember them being this expensive!

We have 21st century. I find them very responsive when we've needed their services.

Living in Riverside would only make sense for me if my husband's work is also there (which it is not). Once we had kids, we needed to settle where the public schools are great, the neighborhoods/communities are safe, and ethnic diversity is the norm. Irvine seem to offer that and we have been...

The drive is not too bad at all - takes me about 45 minutes. I use the toll road which can add up every month but I think it is worth every penny. Even when I don't use the toll road, I am going against traffic on the 55 and 91 in the mornings anyway. I use the toll road when I am running...

We've been eyeing this condo for awhile, even when it first listed for around 920K (if I remember correctly). We went to the open house and was quite impressed. The condo is well-kept, nicely upgraded, and borders on 3 sides by water. We thought for that price at the time, we could get a SFR...
