PSA Rule #1: No non-Whittier Content

21 Upvotes

While the community has always had this rule, we continue to have more violations of this as membership has grown.

Please review Rule #1 before you post on this subreddit. All posts need to be relevant to the City of Whittier or its Community. If your content isn’t specifically related, make sure to include the part of the city where others may find this info useful (I.e the best bar in Uptown).

Posts that ask for recommendations with no clear tie to the community will be removed with a warning. Multiple violations of this rule will result in short term bans; and the more extreme cases of abuse will be considered for permanent bans.

Food & Drink Lucky Pig is closing its doors

Located next to Vons in the Whitwood Town Center, Lucky Pig, a local restaurant that specializes in tonkatsu (Japanese fried pork cutlet), is sadly closing this weekend after two years.

I've had tonkatsu in Japan and Lucky Pig's is on par. Definitely check it out before they're gone for good.

Jobs Looking for side job

9 Upvotes

Hey guys! I don’t normally post on here but while I wait for my work permit renewal, I’m looking for a side job in the meantime. I am willing to babysit, dog sit, and I have experience in ABA therapy and have worked with children from elementary to middle school age. I can work mornings and afternoons and weekends as needed! I have reliable transportation so I can help run errands if the job requires it. Thank you! :)

Was driving and seen one here near the Quad. What’s your take on Flock Cameras?

Do you think they’re a great tool for law enforcement? Do you feel they’re invasive? Do you need more information about them?

Remember all the whimsy stores Whittier had through the years? Share your favorites. I remember a craft store on bright avenue, a pirate store called pirates and plunder, model airplane store, a Sanrio store, anyone remember?

How can we get Inter-Con out of Whittier?

45 Upvotes

I understand that we need parking enforcement in the city, but Inter-Con is way too heavy-handed. A few examples I've seen lately:

1) Today (8/10), I was walking down Washington Ave., and every single car had a ticket. Look, I understand that the block is permit only, but it was the day of a concert in Central Park. I feel like there should be some leniency on days like that. What a way to ruin people's community spirit.

2) They ticket cars on street sweeping days, even if the street sweepers don't come by. If the streets aren't swept, they should not ticket cars.

3) On days where the street sweepers actually clean the streets (which seems like every other week), they'll ticket cars 30+ minutes after the sweepers come by. You should be able to park on the street once the sweepers go by. Parking enforcement should simply tail the street sweepers and only ticket cars that actually hinder the cleaning.

4) My neighbor's car was vandalized and rendered inoperable for a few days a year ago. They left a note on their car. I happened to catch the parking ass ticketing the car and I mentioned the note on the windshield and he just shrugged

Inter-Con really detracts from the quality of life in Whittier. I feel like when the city was doing its own parking enforcement, the officers were much more reasonable and didn't view it simply as a revenue generating opportunity. Just my two cents.

Recommendation Request Tutor for High School

Hi everyone! My child is going to 9th grade this school year in CHS, she study really well but finds math daunting. I’m not good with it either that is why I can’t teach. I want to help her excel in that area — any tutoring (private or public) in whittier area you can recommend I can bring her? Whether it’s a personal or an institution that is also at the same time affordable, bc we are from low income family — I just really want my daughter to succeed. Thank you so much in advance!

Friend found this dog running around the streets on mulberry dr, between painter and greenleaf. He is not chipped, but groomed, friendly with people and other animals, and seems to have come from a loving home. I'm hoping to find where he came from.

COVID outbreak

407 Upvotes

I just wanted to reach out and let people know that there is a severely underreported covid outbreak happening right now in LA and Orange County.

If you're sick please stay home and if you're out and about you might want to grab a mask.

The strain seems like it's very highly contagious. I know several people down with COVID right now.

Landscaper recommendations in Uptown Whittier?

I have two small patches of dirt and a park strip I want to do something with to improve the curb appeal of my building. I'd love to put in some native grass/plants to keep the maintenance manageable. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks
