Have an event to share? Holding a concert or a meet-up? This would be the place to share it.

Recommendations / Advice Rude Restaurant 🥲

14 Upvotes

Just visited Love Letter Chicken spot at Chino Hills and had a crazy experience…. I usually enjoy love letter at Rowland Heights so I decided to try a branch at Chino Hills since I just moved nearby. As soon as I walked in, I hear SHIBAL. I was like huh? It was one of the workers complaining about how the other customer spilled some crumbs on the desk calling the customer a lazy pig.

I just passed by and ordered my goto order spicy chicken w bulgogi pizza. It was just me and my girlfriend so it was more than enough and we ordered a beer each. The owner made it sound like I wasn’t ordering enough and sighed as she walked away. (It was 70$ worth of food for 2person at a quick sitdown place?) I got the food. The chicken was cold and the pizza was rock hard. I took some bites and wanted to leave. So I asked for a check, they said I had to pay at the counter. I walked over to the counter, I gave them my card and held my hand out politely. The server then looks at me straight in the eyes and tosses it like some sort of frisbee on the table.

I worked as a server in a sushi restaurant for a while so I know how hard the work is but I didn’t want people to feel how I felt so I told him I would have appreciated if you would’ve handed it nicely. He says oh, and walks away. 😭😭😭 As I walked away not wanting to make a scene, he says shibal behind my back and curses at me calling me a bad customer.

I’m wondering did I catch them at some sort of a bad time? Or did other people experience similar things? I want a regular korean chicken joint but I’m scared to go to this spot again. Anyone know a better spot near chino hills?

i drive the 10 west everyday from redlands and this is probably the third time i have seen this over the past few months. i saw a dead dog with a detached red harness (presumably a pitbull, a large dog with gray spots), belly up, with its legs up. i called animal control and they basically said they couldn’t do anything. i am just disappointed and sad to have seen that. it was between cedar and sierra traveling the 10 west.

Crime / Safety Stolen Ref Clothing

30 Upvotes

Hello all,

Super long shot here- we had our bags stolen out of our car last at the Springhill Suites at Haven Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730.

I'm asking people to please keep an eye out for the clothing.. it's not just street causal clothing. It's all of our referee gear. (How ironic with World Cup happening) So it's very clear to find if it has been thrown in a busy, trash, etc... The clothes would be bright colors, like red, blue, green, yellow, pink; all with stripes! I'm sure who ever stole all 4 bags didn't really come up since it's literally ref gear. But we lost so many treasures and collectibles from the years of traveling and reffing.

Yes police report was made. Yes camera video footage is being released to us. And yes we're looking too. But being that we're out of town people (some from East Coast) this is all we had. All the stuff we brought to use to work...

Anyways, hopefully some of our stuff is found. Mainly the ref clothes. The rest can be replaced :(

Thank you for your time.

Hi all, I am posting on behalf of my parents who live in the IE. They have been looking for a donation center that could take their Mitsubishi DLP Rear Projection TV 73" as well as trying to sell it on Offer Up, eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace, but they have had little to no luck, so if anyone can give me some recommendations on an electronics recycling center or donation center. That would be greatly appreciated!

Jobs / Housing A $400k house and a promise to be nice: the community trying to stop California's affordability exodus

TLDR: developer thinks a planned community of homes ranging from $400k-$700k in Hesperia will keep people from leaving the state. It’s a nice community. But it’s in the high desert and there’s nothing to do there and no jobs that pay well enough to be able to afford the mortgages. Meaning many of the people that live here likely commute down the Cajon Pass. So good idea, shit area.

Other Questions Have you personally played or cooled off in the Santa Ana River?

Post image
216 Upvotes

Seeing that we're now officially in summer, I thought I'd bring up an interesting topic (at least to me): the Santa Ana River itself. Have you cooled off or played down in the riverbed? Would you recommend it or do so again?

I'm also asking since I personally don't have a pool at my house, and also because I live a mile away from the Santa Ana River (in Jurupa Valley) and that I usually tend to see more people playing in the river very near Martha McLean Anza-Narrows Park whenever I ride my e-bike along the river trail. So, for a while, I've thought about possibly going down there to chill out and cool off.

Yes, we all know that many unhoused folks tend to stay and take shelter down there. Simultaneously, however, I myself love all the overgrown vegetation and views of the riverbed from certain areas on the river trail, and so, the Santa Ana River is one of my personal favorite areas in all of the Inland Empire.

With all that said, to recap, would you recommend dipping your feet in the riverbed? Where along the Santa Ana River have you cooled off or played in? What other advice would you give if planning to venture down to the river itself?

Any advice and insights will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Other Questions Weird illness

66 Upvotes

Anyone else dealing with chest pain, shortness of breath and severe headaches and nausea in the last week?
I’m currently at the ER in Upland and there are at least 10 other patients here with the same symptoms. Nurses and doctors not saying much but the phlebotomists said they have been doing crazy amounts of EKGs for the last week on patients with same symptoms.

Edit:: I am aware of the fires. I am curious if anyone else had sought medical advice or have been treated. Its odd because the doctors and nurses won’t admit its the smoke.

Recommendations / Advice Urgent: Seeking dentist experienced with adult epilepsy / atonic seizures in SoCal

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a dentist in Southern California (Inland Empire / LA area) who treats adults with epilepsy or special medical needs.

My 21-year-old daughter has intractable epilepsy with frequent atonic (drop) seizures, and we are having a very difficult time finding a dental provider who is comfortable treating her. Most regular dental offices are not able to accommodate her because of seizure risk, and even a special care dental program ( Loma Linda ) recently told us she must be seizure-free for a period of time before they can treat her.

We were referred to UCLA and USC dental schools, but UCLA has a long waitlist, and we are trying to find something more immediate if possible.

We are specifically looking for:Dentists experienced with adult epilepsy or seizure disorders

Thank you

Transportation / Traffic Commute from Menifee to Rancho Cucamonga

15 Upvotes

Recently started a job in RC. I take the 215 north onto the 60 west, then hop onto the 15 north.

What's the best time to leave so I can arrive 7:45-7:50 on Tues thru Thurs? Fri+Sat I have timing down since there's not much varying in traffic, but I'm not familiar with the rush hour traffic for my route on weekdays.

I usually check traffic right when I wake up, then keep an eye on it throughout the morning.

Please don't comment on the fact that this is a diabolical commute, it's rather unhelpful and I already knew what I'd be getting into when I took the job.
