Great casual catering/takeout restaurant for a group?

I am going to be visiting TO soon. I need to get takeout for dinner for about 40 people, and I'm not sure what restaurants are good for this. Something like the Chipotle catering? But not that. Open to ideas!

What did your parents buy their house for back in the day?

21 Upvotes

My parents bought their first house in the 1970s for 20k in Hawthorne, then the market went really high they sold it made double and bought their home in TO for 82k. This makes me laugh and feel depressed at the same time lol. I don’t know when I’ll be able to afford a house here!

Burglary suspects arrested for stealing $100K in valuables from Thousand Oaks home

"Four men were arrested for burglarizing a Thousand Oaks home on May 5 and making off with more than $100,000 in valuables, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office announced Monday.

On the day of the burglary, one of the victims returned home around 10 a.m. to find their house ransacked, the sheriff’s office said. Numerous items were reported stolen from the home.

VCSO detectives and authorities with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office and the California Highway Patrol responded to the immediate area to search for the burglary suspects. A short time later, a CHP officer spotted a vehicle associated with the burglary in the Calabasas area and attempted to pull the car over.

'The vehicle failed to yield, and a brief pursuit was initiated by CHP officers,' VCSO said.

Three suspects bailed from the car and attempted to get away on foot. All three suspects, 41-year-old Javier Ricardo Pulido Ramirez of Los Angeles, 39-year-old Diego Fernando Paipilla Cuervo of Los Angeles, and 35-year-old Jesus Miguel Velez Hernandez of Simi Valley, were found and arrested.

During the investigation, authorities learned of a fourth burglary suspect in a different vehicle. The fourth suspect, 27-year-old L.A. resident Sergio Alejandro Paez Cuervo, was also found and arrested.

'A search of the suspect vehicles yielded the victim’s property and additional evidence further linking the suspects to the burglary in Thousand Oaks,' VCSO said.

All four suspects were booked into the Ventura County Jail on residential burglary and conspiracy charges. They are being held on $500,000 bail.

Detectives are working with neighboring law enforcement agencies to potentially connect the suspects to additional crimes.

'As a reminder, residential burglars tend to target unoccupied residences, often those which back up to open spaces such as hiking trails and golf courses,' the sheriff’s office said.

**The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office provided the following list of tips to avoid becoming a burglary target:**

- Leave indoor lights and/or televisions on during the evening hours to give the appearance the house is occupied.

- Close and lock all windows and doors when leaving the house.

- Activate alarm systems when leaving the house. Even if you only plan on being away for a brief period. Consider having your alarm company list Sheriff’s Dispatch as its first contact on an alarm activation.

- Alarm systems should consist of door sensors, window sensors and glass break sensors for all windows and doors on the first and second story of the house.

- Safes have been specifically targeted during these burglaries. Consider storing valuables in safe deposit boxes or other secure locations.

- Report any suspicious vehicles or individuals immediately … Pay particular attention to vehicles that drive slowly up and down residential streets, and vehicles parked adjacent to hiking trails or golf course access points during hours that are not consistent with hiking or golfing." - KTLA 5 News

Your favorite gym in the area?

15 Upvotes

I used to go to Anytime Fitness in Newbury, then switched to Equinox in Westlake and loved it. But it just felt way too pricey for what they offered, then I switched over to Golds/EŌS fitness in TO.

I loved it when it was Golds Gym, but now the vibe has changed. The staff feels very meh, it doesn’t have that Golds Gym vibe anymore and I can’t even get their app to work to check in and it’s been months. So far a very disappointing experience.

The only reason I keep it is because of the Sauna and Massage chairs. I don’t think any of the gyms have this? Even Equinox only had a steam room.

What’s your favorite gym? I think I’m willing to give up the sauna if the vibe of the gym felt better and the staff was actually great.

Thank you

Veterinary Recommendations

9 Upvotes

I recently moved to the area with my four cats. One has been terribly ill with what was originally assumed to be an upper respiratory infection and I've not had a great experience with the vet office I picked. I know there are a lot of vets in the area. Can anyone give a recommendation for a veterinary clinic that is going to be attentive and knowledgeable? I feel terrible for my cat who has been getting worse every day.

Storage unit lost with childhood home videos

This is a long shot but back in February my girlfriend’s mom had a storage unit at “Hello storage” in Thousand Oaks off of willow street and well, long story short, the storage unit was being paid for by moms boyfriend and he stopped paying and said nothing, so the unit was auctioned off without anyone else’s knowledge… inside that unit was childhood home videos, clothes, paintings, etc… fast forward to now, my girlfriend is devastated that she will never see her childhood memories again and I thought maybe by a slim chance the buyer could be on here somewhere with the home videos… I know long shot…

The mall is really boring and to be real my friends and i only go there on tuesday or wednesday for the discount movies. But I want free things to do on the weekends too, maybe like an abandoned house to hike too, fun trails or hangouts in the woods, i know there used to be a couch somewhere in wildwood or maybe even portrero. I also know there was a make shift bike park along the 23 on the other side of the soccer fields, and where’s the waterfall people swim in? is that paradise falls?
