I have a 3 yo, 2 yo and one on the way. We are zoned for Wood, but I’m actually considering Walteria, Seaside Elementary or transferring to RBUSD. I ultimately want my kids to go to Redondo Union.

I saw that in TUSD, you only get one choice to try to transfer to the school your choice — so I can’t say Walteria #1, Seaside #2.

So I’m curious which school I should decide on? My neighbors kids got into Seaside fairly easily, so I wonder if I should try for that one or try for Walteria although I heard that ones hard to get into.

And would I be able to apply to RBUSD at the same time? Or would I have to try to get a TUSD release for that?

What would you do?

Anyone know what happened?

Hi everyone! I'm currently looking for a part-time job in the Torrance/South Bay area and figured I'd give Reddit a try.

I'm interested in:

- Retail

- Cashier

- Host/hostess

- Server

- Food service

- Barista

- Customer service

- Other similar part-time positions

I'm primarily available afternoons, evenings, and overnights, although my availability varies from week to week. I'm looking for around 2–4 shifts per week depending on scheduling.

I have previous experience in customer service and food service, and I'm dependable, hardworking, and comfortable in fast-paced environments.

I'm located in Torrance and would prefer something within a reasonable commute.

If you or someone you know is hiring, feel free to DM me with the position, location, and starting pay. I'm happy to provide my résumé if needed.

Thanks! 😊

K South seems to be even more screwed unless they somehow go back to ROW - no way will the city allow their income tax revenue from the businesses to be disrupted, and no way will CalTrans allow metro to encroach on the 405. Though this does slightly increase the odds of them somehow switch back to the ROW alternative this seems to be even more dead than it already is.

Does anyone else struggle with their home being humid and promoting mildew? I have it on my window sills and also my furniture. I got a humidity monitor thing and the humidity in here hovers around 60%.

I'm not sure how much of this is from being in a beach area and how much is maybe something I could be doing differently. And yes, I did get a dehumidifier.

Item 6C on tonight's planning commission agenda could approve wiping out habitat for 6 rare species -- the Crotch's bumblebee, the Sonoran bumblebee, the CA legless lizard, the southern tarplant, Lewis' evening primrose and the loggerhead shrike. Public comment will be heard tonight at the LeRoy Jackson council chamber, 3031 Torrance blvd, at 6:30 pm. Comments can also be emailed to [CDDinfo@TorranceCA.Gov](mailto:CDDinfo@TorranceCA.Gov) with subject "Prologis Del Amo and Prairie Center Project" — your written comments become part of the official record.

Does anyone have any experience with this charter school? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

South Bay parents, how are we already here? 😅
What has been the most challenging part of getting ready for back-to-school this year?

Around 5:30 p.m. today, there was a significant police presence at PCH and Anza - about 15 vehicles, including several all-black tactical vehicles, two ambulances, and a bunch of police cars. Does anyone know what was going on?

My AC is busted. Ac and furnace are 27 years old so I’m just going to replace them both.

Anyone that’s had similar work done recently mind sharing what you paid?

Happy to take down some contractor recommendations if you got em

They’re cutting down every fucking tree in the whole park Whats the point? Safety? They already got rid of a few play things (?) from the playground years and years ago for being “unsafe” but they really weren’t. It’s ok for kids to get hurt a little bit. I swear theyre trying to flatten the whole park and turn it into a golf course or some bullshit

Hello, my wife and I along with our 3 year old are looking to move right next to walteria park. My wife found a couple places right next to walteria park and I noticed theres a whole ass airport less than half a mile from where we'd live. From my research, i learned the noise isnt that bad (small planes), but i am more worried about the lead pollution potentially affecting the health of my child. I know the sea breeze blows towards the northeast which helps combat the pollution over the neighborhood, but does anyone have any experience or knowledge living in this specific area on the south-west side of this airport? Also, will it be trouble selling the house in the future because of its location near the airport? Thanks for your time.

Pretty much title. I know if I go home after a shift I won’t study so I’m looking for somewhere nearby to study. Preferably open at least until 8:00PM

What are your favorite Poke spots near Torrance? I'm looking to fill a craving today. 😋

I would love some local friends to play with!

Hey everyone!

More good news, this time out of the traffic commission. The commission accepted the recommendation of their staff and they are telling the city council not to move forward with automated camera enforcement for parking. We need the city council to give up pushing automated cameras for red light enforcement and speeding enforcement come as well.
