I saw it tonight as well, GREAT MOVIE! Lots of kids in the audience, so hopefully the message resonates.

Troop, I can't speak for Bix, but I can relate some anecdotal evidence, fact and opinion that I believe help make his points: 1. Statistics from the major states such as TX and FL, where the numerical majority of concealed weapons are carried, indicate that crime rates fall and that...

Bix, I'm furious with Hutchens for her PC nonsense position. The Supes really dropped the ball when not asking her about her position on the matter. I have been a consistent presence at The Firing Line in HB and was going to apply for a CCW to protect me while transporting the six handguns...

Wine tasting at Hi-Time Cellars in Costa Mesa?

hs_teacher - don't forget Costa Mesa! We have major retail with diverse, mature neighborhoods (large lots, homes that are DIFFERENT COLORS!), no Mello-Roos, few HOAs and a nearly constant ocean breeze! Asianinvasion, I believe that lawsuit criticized the environmental documents (which...

First of all, I have not seen a reference to 4' of dirt being replaced. I have seen multiple references to contaminated soil being removed, trucked offsite and diposed of in an approved facility. Second, cleanup is ongoing. 12 of 16 identified areas are still undergoing remediation...

I ahven't been around much lately, and was surprised to see the toxics talk invade this thread, as IHB members had discussed this a while back:http://www.irvinehousingblog.com/forums/viewthread/2147/ The Department of Toxic Substance Control has a dedicated website for former MCAS...

I hate this stuff - some places have ridiculously expensive real estate, so Yahoo thinks that should make us happy with home prices that are still hyper-inflated? Kind of like all the folks who like to point out high gas prices are in Europe.

San Diego meltdown: Buy a $1.6 million new home in San Pasqual Valley, get a $400k new home in Escondido for free! http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/laland/2008/06/in-escondido-bu.html

Is it just me, or does that sound disgusting? P.J. Clarke's has the best burgers in Manhattan - simple and absolutely delicious. I am a big mustard, onions, pickles guy and the only way to eat these is as they come - meat, cheese and bun. My personal favorite is The Cadillac - with bacon...

What does he mean by "foreclosure"? What, it isn't "really" a foreclosure?

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">"Like a Orange County Housewife Paris-Dakar Rally!!" </span></span> Awesome!! ROFLMAO!!!!!

Troop, The NYC show is pretty good, but they aren't even half as shameless as the ladies of Coto. I miss those shallow train wrecks! I actually like Jeana. Lauri is an awful human being who abandoned her son for money. I cannot adequately express my absolute disgust with her. I saw George...

DevonMiles, I don't think it is groupthink. The contamination issues have received extensive news coverage, and 99% of the public has no idea how contaminated groundwater and soil is remediated. I also think that confidence in government is at an all-time low. Additionally, they were...

Not sure how the new "thanks" works - so manual THANK YOU to Irvine Worker!

It is always a risk when dealing with brownfields. Many big box retail stores are built on remediated land, often with ongoing remediation occurring everyday through extraction systems that constantly chip away at the plumes. Other remediation tactics include mixing certain media into...

Bad as in bad picture of LL, or pictures in general?

acpme, Isn't thumping trolls and watching them get thumped part of the fun of posting?

BK, I am in the land use business myself, and would love to know who you were talking to. Actually, I don't want to know! The BRAC proceedings for these bases are all public documents, including the remediation information. The historical uses at both MCAS El Toro and Tustin were dirty...

Seal Beach is an active Naval Weapons Base. Those mounds that you see, and other areas that you DON'T see are full of ordnance. It is one of the locations where they resupply warships prior to deployment. I have a buddy stationed there and it is all the way live.
