We rented the same model condo on a different street for about 5 years a while back. The one in the listing is nicely upgraded. Our rental looked nothing like it. It wasn't upgraded at all. We stayed there when we only had 1 kid and it was a decent size for us at the time. A few things...

This thread really makes me miss living in San Diego. I gained 35 pounds on all of the fantastic Mexican food there and it was worth every pound. Having 5 different Mexican hole in the wall places to eat within walking distance was like living in heaven. I went the the newport beach taco...

I've had a similar experience at Taco Rosa. Bad service and undercooked food. Our family doesn't go there any more and we tell everyone to avoid Taco Rosa. Taco Mesa is still good eats though. Avila's food isn't very good but the service is usually ok. Check out <a...

So what's next for the religious nutters now that they can buy constitutional amendments with out of state money? Maybe they will go after atheists next?

There were people holding up yes on 8 signs with their toddlers on the corner of Culver and Alton this morning. Forcing your kids to breathe in exhaust fumes all morning so they could be a prop for the parents bigoted beliefs makes me sad.

North Lake in woodbridge always has wedding parties on weekends taking pictures. Either along the water by the Waters restaurant or on the Gazebo.

I agree with the others. I really liked the old style where you could see all recent threads on one page. This style is better suited to a much bigger community. With so many subforums, some will go unused.

We bought our first house using Zip. I would use Zip again. It does depend on your agent though. Our first agent sucked so we "fired" her and the second agent was great. He was perfectly willing to submit our offers which at the time were considered lowballs. When you close, they give...

I wish people would follow your advice CK. Go to any 24 hour pool in woodbridge during the summer late at night and you will see why. These are hotspots for the 21-25 year old crowd who still live with mom and dad here to drink and party it up. Our old rental backed to one of these pools and...

I just bought an Infiniti G35 to replace my old Subaru. It gets horrible gas milage and requires premium gas. I only drive 3k to 4k miles a year though so who cares about fuel efficiency. 306HP RWD is worth the poor mileage. Unlike my subaru it can actually fit 2 child seats in the back so...

Woodbridge and Turtle Rock are my favorites. I've lived in both for over a decade each. Woodbridge gets the slight edge for having walkable retail centers, a more central location and better parks/pools for kids. I prefer the older areas for several reasons, but the newer areas are nice too...

They are going to build some new condos in Woodbridge where the closed down elementary school is. These condos will have no mello roos since they will be part of the Woodbridge village association.

Unless those strawberries have 1000 foot roots, I don't think it's a problem

The plume is very deep at the point below woodbridge. It dives below a level of water when it leaves the base. The only threat was from it hitting the wells. The affected wells and a few new ones are now pumping it out and treating it. The project is called the Irvine Desalter Project...
