Sad to see LA Brisket (Costa Mesa) closed, but with most of the office building dwellers nearby working from home, I am sure they've lost a ton of lunch/dinner traffic.  Just had dinner at Hanare Sushi (in the same LAB mall) and had a fantastic dinner.  Hoping it will stay alive through this...

So being Asian, I have experienced racism in one form or another.  Some subtle, and others in your face.  Being in Irvine, and surrounded by other Asians, I assume that display of racism is a lot less.  Especially against Asians.  Just curious as to what form of racism have you experienced in...

Anyone have a recommendation for a moving company?  Looked up yelp, but it is hard to tell which ones are good.

Hey guys, you know that big tree between the fountain and Niko Niko Sushi at WTC?  Well,...I saw an elder Asian man with a toddler on top of the circular mound surrounding the tree.  He was allowing the boy to pee into the tree (well actually into the plants surrounding the tree).  When he was...

We are looking at white cabinets, black counters, and either white (tile or glass) or taupe subway tiles for a backsplash in our kitchen. I prefer white but my significant other prefers the darker taupe (dark grey).  I am looking at resale potential as well. Help us be a tie breaker!  What...

Ok everyone, let us know where you have ended up this year!

Lennar is offering one year free HOA amongst other incentives for their Rowland town homes.  But their regular HOA is over $500/month which is insane.  I don't think anyone is going to look forward to paying those dues after the free term is over.

We are looking at buying a home facing NW  in one of the new developments (we are West people).  Our feng shui consultant had an issue with the master bedroom in an inauspicious sector of South to South East.  We need more info on whether this is enough to forego this house, but our feng shui...

We are renting a place in Woodbury (Irvine Apt Community) and recently got a new neighbor.  They brought some gas compressed cylinders with them and now their windows are sealed up with aluminum foil.  I constantly smell pot and the other neighbors have seen people go in and out of the house. ...

Anyone else spot Christian Bale at Panera at the WB center this afternoon? 

Anyone know why there's been a helicopter circling Woodbury (near towncenter) for the past 20 min?  Whatever it is they are looking for, they aren't giving up.  Heard that they closed down Sand Canyon? Fugitive out and about from Musick?

Just saw a commercial sponsored by the Association of Realtors.  It had kids playing a sport and showing a good test score, with a narrator in the background stating something like, it has been shown that owning a home leads to confident kids, that do better in school... So, if you are renting...

Just curious if anyone has found out when OH will open? 

Hello: I would like some input between these two very different neighborhoods.  My pros/cons are as follows: Woodbridge: Pros:  - lakes - schools not as competitive and still very good - curve appeal with real driveways - lots more trees and open space - more South so cooler - a little...

Which Woodbridge elementary school is good?  (i.e. for the most part, good teachers, good staff, good admin).

A neighborhood elementary school is now 60%+ asian.  Some of the white parents have mentioned that it is getting a little "too Asian" at the school and in the neighborhood.  We had had a huge influx of Korean moms with their kids temporarily staying (usually 2 years) here in Irvine (I was told...

Just got an alert through Life Lock via e-mail re: a new registered sex offender in Irvine.  Couldn't log in to my a/c so went ahead and checked out the Megan's Law site and found out that there at least 15 registered offenders in Irvine...scary...

Here's a tract map for part of the Great Park Neighborhoods:

I got harassed by an old construction worker (at least I think they were construction workers) at Subways (near the new Cypress Village) today.  He was pretty scary with red eyes and just a lot of anger.  He was with two other construction workers.  At least I think they were construction...
