    Subtle (or not so subtle) Racism

    I would have told that lady at Nordstrom that she herself is Asian just to get under her skin! In high school, the Persians I knew would classify themselves as white and I would tell them that technically they're Asian, since Iran is part of Asia. That annoyed them so much when I said that.

    Culver Plaza Traffic Annoyance

    If you ever visit China or Korea, you'll then understand why the FOB's here drive so recklessly. They bring that driving mentality here and pass it on to their offspring.

    Yup! Lower performing schools have a different criteria for admission versus higher performing schools. The real test is can these students from lower performing schools actually keep up with the rigorous curriculum at a top college. From what teachers have told my kids, these students...

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Seems like Dunn always prices his listings WTF. So according to him, does that mean OH residents devalue their property because they're not long term thinkers?  ;) Noticed they also had a retro Ford Bronco in the garage. Some of the vintage Broncos are actually worth some bucks...

    Great Park Homeless Shelter

    When I was looking at the OC Supervisors agenda for 5/23/17 there was a link to a $600,000 signed contract dated in April 2017 for temporary short term housing. The contract was between the County of Orange and a vendor that had the name "Irvine" in it, yet the vendor's address was located in...

    Irvine Optometrist

    Last month I took my son to Family Optometry to see Dr. Kim-Ong for the very first time. She is very thorough and detailed in her examination.

    Sober Living Facility

    This is a lengthy article, but quite interesting. I wrongly  assumed you had to be licensed to run a sober living center. Never knew Costa Mesa had 102 of these facilities. If there's this much fraud now, just wait until California approves single-payer healthcare...

    Homeless Camp at the Library

    I know this isn't in Irvine, but close enough. Passed by the Tustin library (which is temporarily closed due to water damage) and there were a couple of tents in the courtyard area. Contacted Tustin police and they confirmed it's where the homeless have chosen to set up. Tustin PD doesn't appear...
