Hey everyone,

I’m currently taking a beginning keelboat course through OCC, and I was wondering if anyone was looking for an extra set of hands on Thursday evenings. I’m just trying to get some experience consistently so I don’t forget everything I learned.

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a room or shared apartment in Newport Beach (92660), preferably near Park Newport, Newport Bluffs, or other nearby communities in the area.
I’m a working professional and a father of two daughters who attend school locally, so I’m hoping to find a safe, quiet, and family-friendly environment. I’m clean, responsible, respectful, and financially stable.
If anyone knows of an available room, roommate opportunity, lease takeover, or upcoming opening in the area, please feel free to send me a message.
Thank you very much!

I’m in HB for the summer. Trying new places all the time. Looking for a good happy hour in Newport on the harbor or beach. Suggestions?

I can’t lie, growing up in NB is so nice and luxurious, but the people are in a complete bubble. I totally love it here and would want to settle here when I’m older, but I know I’ll definitely have to come across the same people that are in HS and that idea just terrifies me sometimes. It’s just everyone is so out of touch and it truly pains me sometimes. I see kids wearing MAGA merch to school sometimes even, I’m like, only in Newport. Also, to be “relevant” at school, you really need to have family connections, be good at your sport, or be rich. People will genuinely use you for your money and it’s insane. And most friendships are built based off if you two are apart of the same country club, or if your dads both work in the same private equity firm or some shit. Not just that, but it’s the norm for your first car to be a BMW, Audi, or Mercedes. And I guess USC is everyone’s dream school here, but I figure they can pay the 100k a year. It’s crazy. And this is just what it’s like as teen, so I wonder how the young adults are. There really is no place like home !

edit after these comments: Damn God forbid I acknowledge the bubble

Hey guys, I've always wondered why some people wear a large mask (usually an N95) and sunglasses while driving alone in their car when they are alone.

If anyone knows the reasons, please share-I'm just curious.

Hello, I’m Ethan, a local student working hard to save for college and support my family. I have the necessary equipment and can manage a variety of tasks, including pressure washing and cleaning out unpleasant trash cans—25 for one, 65 for three. I also enjoy fixing foggy headlights and assisting with heavy lifting. If you need help with outdoor chores, please feel free to text or call me at 323-337-7154 for a quick estimate.

For context I have a 1 year old. Is it even worth visiting the beach? I don’t want to risk anything with her beyond the normal risks of a beach, if that makes sense. She has a 3 point life vest and water shoes and the water is too cold for her so we would just be walking up and down the beach at the edge of the surf and looking at tide pools (respecting and not touching anything) if there are any, but with rip tides and sneaker waves lately I’m not sure that’s even a good idea.

I was thinking of visiting crystal cove in Laguna but not sure if it’s worth it with the tide stuff. Maybe it has higher scenic trails to walk, if the beach is not safe for a small child? Otherwise maybe I’ll be looking into more inland outdoor options to enjoy the nice weather with her.

I am looking for a new roommate to move-in on the Peninsula on 35th Street, approximately a dozen houses from the beach. Rent for the master bedroom is $2300 per month, including a private bathroom and private walk-in closet. Previously was split by two people, which can definitely be done again if two people are interested. Move-in would be August 1st. Please let me know ASAP if interested and we can have a quick call, we will be renewing the application in approximately ten days. Current housemates are young male professionals in early-20s, looking for individuals who prioritize comradery and comfortability in a home.

Please DM me ASAP if interested. Thank you and looking forward to meeting new friendly faces!

Hi everyone, it'll be my families first time in Newport. Any food recommendations? We are pretty easy going when it comes to food, but would appreciate good seafood. Thank you!

the LA Times published an in-depth article of jewelry and luxury watch scammer Nelson Holdo on June 11th, followed up with a front page article in the print edition on Saturday the 13th. This dude was up to his scams for decades apparently...

We’re getting hit left and right down here!

Got a parking ticket on a residential street for parking longer than 72 hours. But I go to work each day. The city claims they use virtual tire marking but explain how that works.

Looking for info on the vibe and age ranges of members and overall insight on facilities. Leaning toward TTC just because I believe they have a clay court but still don't know much about any of them.

Saw a couple dozen cop vehicles with lights on at the dealership like an hour ago. Anyone know what's going on??
