I don't think there are any specialty coffee shops as defined by the Specialty Coffee Association of America. (e.g. a place that is really pushing the boundaries in terms of brewed drip coffee or espresso drinks) In an absolute twist of irony, the SCAA is in Irvine though I thought it was in...

Everyone else was too busy sharing their personal and/or political thoughts to actually answer the question directly, so I'll take the moral victory.

I got it. It was kind of a pointless gadget purchase. My case doesn't make it easy to use the action button. My previous phone (which was a 14!) would occasionally freak out so that was enough for me to make a change. I always charge wirelessly and my car has wireless CarPlay so the...

My aunt walked into CVS without an appointment last Friday and got one in less than 10 minutes. Tustin on 1st St near Sprouts. Moderna.

I used this place, it's fine. https://www.yelp.com/biz/30-min-or-less-irvine-9 All of their prices are online. https://30minorless.com/take-action

They probably did counts of traffic vs road capacity, put that on a spreadsheet, and picked the most under-used roads by drivers. Basically just kowtowing to cars.

I think you have to seriously be outdoors and listening for it.

Does this mean like...not Tier 1 coastal mainland Chinese cities?

I'd much rather be near the train track than the freeway. It might (?) be a nice time to get a deal in College Park with the fatal shooting that happened recently nearby. If you look at train schedules for Amtrak/Metrolink, service is pretty infrequent. I don't even know if Amtrak even runs...

You don't even have to slum it in your RV - I've stayed a few times at the new bougie Mission Pacific Hotel on the pier. It's super nice but spend a little bit more money to get an oceanfront room and watch the street on a Saturday night and you'll see loud cars, music, and youths. I think it's...

I think there's still a plaque on the HMart that references the stabbing victims.

I love the off-road bike paths and bridges/tunnels. I wish we had more of them. I know how to bike with cars, but I don't feel safe on a bike lane when those cars are going 40+ mph. One mistake and serious injury or worse awaits for the person on the bike. Worse with kids. We drive for most of...

Agreed and those are nice, I just want more bike infrastructure for day-to-day activities like going to restaurants and shopping. I want to live in a place where I can do activities while walking/biking as well as driving.

Agreed, we have the opportunity to create so much more bike infrastructure in Irvine..

I think Great Park is totally unbuyable with no retail/neighborhood centers. Yeah I can Instacart groceries but there's no substitute in my mind for some nice third places.

Dang this one is pretty scary.

Nice. Volvo delayed their 3 row SUV til '24 so it looks like Kia will beat them to market. What a license to print money!

I actually prefer Shake Shack burgers over In-N-Out. The cost difference is like $5 these days? Not a big deal. I actually prefer In-N-Out well done fries over Shake Shack fries. I know, I have an unpopular opinion...
