When the time is closer we will check with the school district, but my (admittedly limited) understanding is that the state age requirements for starting K and 1st grade are strict and the district would risk losing some funding if they didn't adhere to them. I agree this isn't likely to be a...

We have an added wrinkle on this question. My older daughter just finished her first year in her Montessori (which also happens to be Leport Lake). The year she turns 5, she misses the new CA kindergarten cutoff of Sep 1 by about a week. What that means is, if we keep her the full three years...

They used to push around the dim sum carts every day, but a little while back they switched to an order slip system on weekdays. I went the week after the switch and the staff was in some disarray, so much of the dim sum arrived cold. Have only been back once on a Saturday since, so not sure...

I've occasionally made the left from Burt onto Sand Canyon, and it's quite a wait for the green. I never use the S/B freeway ramp so don't know about that one, but agree those two lights don't seem sync'd ... which leads to backups on Sand Canyon, which means that new light at the railroad...

The extra light they added northbound at the railroad crossing doesn't sync with the next one at Burt Road (Denny's) because it's for a different purpose.  As soon as cars threaten to fill up the space between the crossing and Burt Road, the previous light at the crossing turns red so no one...

It's not uncommon in areas where there's an existing long-term population being displaced by an influx of gentrifiers. It's especially the case where the existing population is mostly renters, and in a place like Harlem a significant portion of them are subject to rent control regulations. All...

It might just be my bad luck, but the several times I ate at Joe's in either Manhattan or Flushing, the food wasn't hot enough and the soup portion small relative to the size of the dumpling.  Also I always got more flavor from the soup at Nan Xiang.  The ambiance and service (or lack thereof)...

Nan Xiang is the best.  After being recommended in the NY Michelin Guide they added English to their previously Chinese-only sign and took over the neighboring restaurant's space to double the seating area, but without increasing the size of their kitchen.  The wait time to get in didn't really...

When our older daughter started preschool at two and a half, her teacher encouraged us to keep the drop off short and direct, rather than linger.  I was assigned to the daily drop offs, so I would never stay for more than a few minutes before saying bye and quickly striding out the door as she...

Irvine2012, We recently moved to the area (as my username suggests), and our 2 year old daughter has been at Leport Lake for about 3 months.  It's her first time going to any kind of daycare/preschool.  After her initial adjustment period of a couple of weeks she loves it there, and so far so...
