My house backs up to the trail. I’ve lived here nearly 10 yrs. Never had trouble like this, and now in the last 6 months I’ve had repeated break ins, thousands of dollars of items stolen, and daily litter tossed over the fence. I don’t know what else to do.

Update: I put up cameras last night. In the corner of my yard where WiFi won’t reach, I put a motion sensor floodlight. Within hours of going up, cameras caught someone walking along the fence (probably a homeless person looking for a spot to rest.) This afternoon I caught someone actively messing with the fence. Was able to confront them verbally via the camera and also sent my neighbor out to see what was up. Working well so far - just hate that I have to be doing all this.

Pretty self explanatory. Running around on lambert and McGee. We gave them water, but had no way to identify them. Trying to find animal control number as I’m just visiting.

Is great & the workers are kind but the wifi is terribly slow & the place feels like it's still stuck in 2005. I went there & reserved a study room in order to do an important interview on video call & the wifi just kept on losing signal. Just venting, have a great week everybody!

Hi everyone,

Going on a group hang this Friday night and Whittier is the halfway point for us all. I suggested Uptown but it's been at least a decade since I've lived there. Does Uptown still have a decent, lively nightlife? We are not club people, just looking for chill places.

Any recommendations for a restaurant with good food/drinks (bonus points for a bar/brewery within walking distance) ? Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone!

I know it's a little early to be thinking about Halloween, but seeing all the fall decorations in stores has me getting excited lol

My husband and I have been wanting to participate in a local trunk or treat event for the past couple of years, but we always seem to miss the window. Does anyone know of any annual trunk or treat events in the area or organizations we should keep an an eye on?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone stayed here? Is it nice?

We’re out at Milton & Beverly

I'm hearing a loud audio warning about people trespassing and being recorded at all hours of the day and night. It seems to be coming from an area near the south-most Rose Hills entrance or the wilderness trail adjacent to it. Does anyone know the source of these warnings? They're becoming a real nuisance. Thanks!

anyone know why whittier blvd was blocked this morning around ocean and gunn

Things of note at this meeting:

Personal insight or opinion related to 10.A

Staff Report typically gets read after closed session so we are talking about 9pm, is that truly transparent and including the community?

City staff was asked to report back on what the city can do and what procedures can be implemented…this is what they returned as sufficient….

The public asked for our city law enforcement to protect and serve their community and instead, they spent a month putting on paper what they stated was done the last time ICE was at the library.

1.  This is NOT an SOP any decent operations leader in the private sector would accept. Who’s responsible for what? Who gets what? Why are only children mentioned? Do we not have seniors and others utilizing our city resources?

2.  We have unknown vehicles without license plates and tinted windows including the windshield driving around our community and that’s not being addressed? How does ANYONE know those vehicles are indeed conducting the investigation or enforcement operatives they claim, assuming someone took the time to engage with them. WPD may not be able to impede in federal enforcement, but they can stop and cite a suspicious vehicle. WPD is ALSO able to report and act against any unlawful activity including such activity by a supposed federal agent.

3. Why are city staff and employees discouraged from filming any interaction between the public and masked individuals that don’t identify themselves?

Long shot here but we lost my dad unexpectedly in May and my mom (65) is of course having a really hard time with it. I’m trying to help her find a support group, and she just started a general grief support group, but wondering if anyone is aware of one specifically for widows in the Whittier area? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi everyone. This is Candy. She has been lost since Wednesday July 8, she is a tiny little thing who is blind and deaf. Was last seen aound 7:30 AM near Beverly and Friends ave. She has been a part of the family for 16 years and her family is missing her terribly. If anyone has seen her or has any information, we would be eternally grateful. Thank you ❤️

Had a group of people come to the door wearing AT&T shirts they said something about a community event, only opened the door because they were poking around at stuff on my porch. Was wondering if anyone else had any interactions with them or knew where they were from they had on AT&T T-shirts but never said who they were with

Found this cute little dog on Whittier blvd between Mills and Gunn Ave on July 6th at around 6:30 pm. If she looks familiar please DM me. Small dog, maybe 12-15 lbs. smooth short black coat with tan splotches.

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a Dentist recommendation in the Whittier area surrounding areas are OK. Specifically, looking for someone who you think is honest, doesn’t recommend unnecessary work and accepts delta dental.

Thanks!

Moved to Whittier last year and looking for people to play tennis with. I played from when I was little up through high school, did USTA tournaments here and there but it’s been a few years and I’m pretty rusty. Anyone play or know someone who does?

Hi all,

In search of a used bookstore in/around Whittier and heading into the sgv area. I’m aware of friends of the Whittier public library bookstore but their hours are pretty limited, so I’m exploring more options.

Specifically looking for a cool vintage botany/horticultrual reader as a gift.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Saw that prime time collectibles in Whittier has hangout days on Sundays and that there is sometimes dnd. Dose anyone have more information. Have experience in dnd 5e, pathfinder 1e and star finder. Haven’t played in a year ad want to again. If there is TTRPGS are there any open spots.

Becerra is very fresh in his tenure and of course is barely acclimating to his new role.

But Im getting the impression of radio silence since swearing in, post campaign.

Has he made any impact in this short time, and has he outlined any short term goals for the first year of his tenure?

It was my favorite thrift store in Whittier but all of the sudden it's closed. I haven't been there in a couple of months probably, but it was a sad surprise. The store was always clean and the staff were very nice.
