    Retail Openings and Closures

    Windsor in Costa Mesa has both beers for sale and they opened up a tap room awhile ago, but my go to is Green Cheek for IPAs, across the street from Windsor. The smash burger and tots are great there too.

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Tahoe isn't that bad to get to from OC , little over an hour flight to Reno and then <1hr drive in barring any closures/snow depending on where in Tahoe you want to be. We were just there last week for 6 nights. I'd rather do that than drive up to Mammoth. We had to do the drive to Tahoe last...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    I went with a few friends about a week before Christmas, 4 out of the 5 of us got covid after that dinner and the food did not wow me like it used to. I spoke to the store manager and another Brazilian BBQ place is taking it's place, Gaucho something? Supposedly has 2-3 other locations in CA.

    Question about Tustin field

    Always liked Oak Creek area, just need to stay away from the homes backing up to the 405 or Alton due to traffic noise and pollution. I looked in this area for a while, but nothing ever popped that I wanted to pull the trigger on back then.

    November 2023 Irvine Housing Market Update

    My personal experience lines up with what you're saying. We upsized and closed on our home in Nov of 2017 and moved in around Feb of 2018. Paid ~1.4mm, home is now worth 1mm more than that and I have a 2.5% fixed rate, not sure how I could beat that right now or anytime between then and now or...

    I would delete your lot # and other info....unless you want people to see where you live, too much private info on a public forum.

    IUSD TK/Kindergarten hours

    Irvine never adopted full day kinder/TK, keep your kids in their preschool for Kinder/TK as you see fit. I'm past this period, but I wished they had full day kinder.

    Realtor rebate for new house

    Just email or call Martin if you don't have one, highly recommended. And if you don't feel its a good fit for you move onto another, give him a chance. He likely knows the majority of the sales agents at all the new builds and provides a rebate.

    Leftist Insanity Escalates

    Common sense, laws, how I was raised. Yes, it's perspective and context. If you killed someone trying to harm your family are you a bad person? Religion says you should not kill, but you had to kill someone to save your wife/kid or would you let them die b/c you didn't want to kill someone...

    Leftist Insanity Escalates

    Bad person can be many things, its broad and means different things to different people. Moral vs immoral, what's right vs not right, ethical vs unethical and A LOT of grey area in the middle. I don't need religion to tell me that killing someone or smacking a kid in the head is bad. It's...

    Leftist Insanity Escalates

    I only go into a church, temples, places of worship, etc for marriages and funerals for those who choose to have them there, other than that religion is not part of my life and never has been. I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way though, the trend for religion in people's lives in...

    Which one would you choose and why?

    The first one is close to the train tracks and if you're over on the side by Harvard Park, those baseball/softball field lights don't go off until after 10 on most nights. Not sure if those lights or cars leaving will bother you. I play softball there and the late games start at 8:50pm and...

    Junk fooding

    You only live once, enjoy your life, and it tastes great! You never know what will happen, can get hit by a truck tomorrow or diagnosed with something terminal next year. Just don't go overboard and eat bad shit in moderation. I tell my wife I workout to enjoy food.

    I stop by McDonalds every day or other day to get the fried apple pie when we're in Hawaii, supposedly the Downey McDonalds still has the fried apple pie, but I've never been.

    Work in office or remote?

    I've been in the office 2x, 3 hours each this year. I tell those under me they have the option to go in or not, nothing mandatory. My direct manager has been in maybe 5-6x this year. I'm online longer working from home than when I was in the office.

    Front License Plates

    No front plate for 16+ years in Irvine, got a front plate fix it ticket about 9 months ago, maybe they are starting to give them out to hit quotas? Any major intersection in Irvine and ~25-35% of the cars don't have one.

    ICE or EV?

    Here's a different list with Teslas being just as unreliable as the Taycan. Model X rated worse than the Taycan and the S just above it. I don't own either car so no skin the game, just a different perspective. https://insideevs.com/news/655512/tesla-model-s-x-consumer-reports-unreliable-evs/...
