    Fatburger files for BK

    So trojan, is Fatburger better than In-N-Out in your opinion? I'm not really a burger person but ever few months I'll get a craving and eat at Fuddruckers or the Counter. I don't like In-N-Out as much as most people. And Fuddruckers hasn't been as good as I remembered it the last few times...

    The world famous Jeffrey Open Space Hobo made the news

    I guess they leave me alone because I don't have a birkin bag or even a cheap LV ;) Sorry your family was victimized BK. I'm a little worried going forward about that since we are probably moving to SJC near the mission.

    The world famous Jeffrey Open Space Hobo made the news

    I reread your "Why is Woodbury a bad sequel to Northpark?" essay Bk so I understand your reservations about Woodbury better. I still greatly prefer Woodbury personally... but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy in either neighborhood either. I don't walk through the JOST at night alone but I do...

    The world famous Jeffrey Open Space Hobo made the news

    How much trash did he have that it cost several hundred dollars to haul it away? I live in Woodbury and have never seen him or haven't noticed. I have never seen a homeless man on a bike I guess. The part about him circling his bike around people he doesn't like is freaky. And stupid. That's the...

    Considering renting a single family home in SJC - near the mission - bad idea?

    Thanks Irvine_grad. I haven't been to the Marbella area but I have noticed the very wide range of property prices in the greater SJC region. I'll have to check that out. I find the Sparrow bar place hilarious. They blare music at noonish on Saturday and it seems like an older honky-tonkish...

    Considering renting a single family home in SJC - near the mission - bad idea?

    I realize I'm a bit like a teenager looking for validation of what I want to do regardless of what anyone says. Or some first time posters that "need" to buy now now NOW. But in my case its renting an impractical house b/c its got some awesome features. Like the entrance and courtyard that...

    Considering renting a single family home in SJC - near the mission - bad idea?

    No kids at the moment... just looking to rent the place for a year or two. The prices are reasonable compared to Irvine I guess. But the asking rent for this place still indicates the recent sales prices in this neighborhood are still inflated by about 50% using 170 GRM.

    Considering renting a single family home in SJC - near the mission - bad idea?

    Hahahah yeah. He used to work in Irvine but switched companies voluntarily a few months ago. He often travels out of town and/or works from home so he probably is averaging going in 2-3 times a week currently. And that is trending down. The couple of times he's gone in to the office M-F he isn't...

    Considering renting a single family home in SJC - near the mission - bad idea?

    That is a good idea SOCowner... I'm just wondering how that would play out though. How honest can the local officers really be there? I miss Troop's insights on all police matters such as this. I googled SJC gang after your post and found that one of the areas that the gang injunction...

    Considering renting a single family home in SJC - near the mission - bad idea?

    So the hubby and I are considering leaving the new but poorly laid out townhouse/condo in Woodbury we have rented for the last couple years for a single family walled house near the mission in San Juan Capistrano. The house is a hacienda style charmer with water features, more room, and a pool...

    Car Racing

    Mr NewToOC races and we usually get a hotel near Buttonwillow or Willow Springs and make it a weekend. Unfortunately we have yet to find a decent hotel near either location.

    Upcoming Dinner A'Fare Trip

    It sounds like the tide may be turning on the tentative date but May 5th works for me. I'll looking forward to meeting more IHBers. On portion size and price/serving.... I think the sizing is pretty generous especially if you prepare some easy simple sides at home to accompany the main...
