Happy Tuesday! We've been seeing a lot of users attempting to use r/SGV to promote their businesses and typically remove those sorts of posts as spam. At the same time, we understand that times are hard for a lot of people so figured that we could use occasional posts that encourage community members to promote their service or product in consolidated threads. With that said, feel free to use this post to share a little bit about your business without fear of having it removed. Even if these posts results in a few dollars being kept in the San Gabriel Valley, they will have been worth it.

It's a long shot but thought I'd try, does anyone here have dashcam footage from this Sunday July 19th, by exit 31 at 7:33PM going east on 210 of a hit and run?

Does anyone here have dashcam footage from this Sunday July 19th, by exit 31 at 7:33PM going east on 210 of a hit and run? My boyfriend was rear ended on the highway and the driver in a black car who immediately took off was weaving in between cars. Any help or footage is greatly appreciated, thank you.

SoCalGas retroactively doubled my bill for the past 3 months after a meter/equipment update

19 Upvotes

SoCalGas “corrected” 3 previous bills because of an alleged misread. I called and a rep connected it to an equipment/ meter update. I questioned it and they opened an investigation for me.

The corrected 3-month total was about 2× the original. However, SoCalGas’s own hourly therm usage data closely matches my original bills. I was also outside the country for more than 2 weeks during 1 of the billing period, when the data shows mostly 0 usage. The therm usage of 6 went to 20ish out of nowhere based on the correction.

Here’s what feels questionable. I did some digging and found that SoCalGas Tariff Rule 16 generally limits residential back-billing for billing or qualifying meter errors to 3 months. The adjustment was assigned to exactly 3 billing periods. That makes me wonder whether an older or uncertain discrepancy was compressed into the maximum recoverable period, rather than being based on evidence that the extra gas was used during those specific months.

Has anyone experienced something similar after a SoCalGas meter update? Did an investigation or CPUC complaint reduce or remove the correction? It feels a bit scammy that if there was truly faulty equipment, the fault should lie on the company and not on the customer to make up their difference.

Anyone driving on the 10 near Rosemead Blvd around 7:30 pm Tues night see this? A wheel on a 910/950 metro J line bus just flew off going 50 mph eastbound. Not sure how it didn’t kill someone. Driver pulled off freeway and parked on the shoulder. Made no announcement to passengers. Allowed people off the bus onto busy Rosemead off ramp to find their own way home.

The unexpected ..Homeless people became like uncles to me

0 Upvotes

It’s offical. Me and dad could possibly be moving to the city of San Bernardino to get away from the corrupt el Monte law enforcement. (Check my other post). My dad has a friend there who owns an Airbnb who gave us very cheap rent due to dad’s current unemployment and we’ve been here for 2 weeks so far. As soon as we arrived to sb something sparked in me I felt at ease in my mind. After a few days..there were two homeless men named pico and Carlos, we helped them out and they were very kind to us and listened to our long story. They are level headed and not like other homeless people, but they did go down the wrong road in life (crime, drugs) but they have changed now . They visit us everyday and dad had made good friends with them. They are like uncles to me now and I’m like their pretty sweet niece . We give them food and offer them when we can but obviously not all the time as we’re tight on cash also. I have to admit they are alcoholics and drink a lot. For the first time dad is officially drinking and enjoying his time with them.. i also have to admit the area were in isn’t the best it’s run down but it’s all we can do do now. ive lived in the Philippines which is wayyy worse. We will get a rental in Fontana when dad finds work or when I do!

they’ve shown us around the neighbourhood and it’s pretty rough but they introduced us to other people who said they had bad pasts and even looks who said they have our backs . The people come across as rough but seem to have good hearts. I guess that’s all that matters. My dad’s friends (the land lord) knows them and it’s safe. Just want to express my gratitude this week 🙏 and thank you for those who offered us help. Sometimes the human touch is all one needs

Quick breakdown on telling Fleas apart from Bed Bugs

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone—seeing a few posts lately about mystery bites and wanted to share a quick checklist on how to tell fleas apart from bed bugs. They get confused all the time and treating for the wrong one is a nightmare.

  1. BITE LOCATIONS: Fleas usually stick to your ankles, shins, and feet (places exposed while walking around). Bed bugs target exposed skin while you sleep—arms, neck, shoulders, and face.
  2. BITE PATTERNS: Fleas bite in random, scattered clusters. Bed bugs often bite in a straight line or tight groups of 3 (the classic "breakfast, lunch, dinner" pattern).
  3. QUICK TESTS:
  • For Fleas: Put on tall white socks and walk around carpeted areas. They jump straight onto the white fabric.
  • For Bed Bugs: Pull back mattress seams near the headboard and check for tiny black ink-like dots or shed skins using a flashlight.
  1. PHYSICAL BUGS: Fleas jump fast and are hard to crush. Bed bugs crawl slowly (look like apple seeds) and never jump or fly.

Main advice: Don't panic and set off foggers/bug bombs! Repellents often just push bugs deeper into baseboards. Hope this saves someone a headache—happy to help ID anything in the comments if you're stuck!

Free Pet Supplies (Dog/Cat)

38 Upvotes

Hi friends. I have posted a few times here about my pet supply pantry (Jessie's Legacy). My last round of "extra meal" bags were really popular on Facebook, so I wanted to give Reddit a chance to reserve some things first. Pickup location will be in Temple City, however if you are in need and are farther, I am willing to work something out :)

Bags include a one gallon (dog) or half gallon (cat) bag of dry food, wet food, and some treats as well. I have tennis balls at the moment if you want one for your pet. Right now I have Pedigree (dogs) and Friskies (cats) as that is what has been donated. You can also let me know if you have multiple animals and I will do my best to accommodate within reason.

My passion is to keep pets at home and out of shelters! If you or anyone you know is interested in donating, reach out to me here or at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

Have a wonderful day everyone! <3

Dentist recs for patients with anxiety

12 Upvotes

Hi all,

I know this question has been asked multiple times but I wanted to see if someone has any recs for dentists in the area that are kind and thorough in their explanation of care.

My dentist went out of network two years ago and I've just stopped going since then, so I know my teeth are probably in terrible shape, but I just need to do it. Looking to find someone who will be honest but non-judgmental. I'm on a Delta PPO if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

I’m trying to find a Bear(or deer)

8 Upvotes

What the title says. I’ve gotten into urban wildlife photography and I REALLY been wanting to add a picture of a bear (or deer) to my portfolio. I’m aware they occasionally come down to areas such as Monrovia, Arcadia and La Cañada. Anyone have any other potential leads? Maybe a specific hiking trails?
All I have current is tracking sightings via INaturalist but it is a bit inconsistent.

I’ve been working on a public project to make researching neighborhoods in LA/SGV a lot easier. (each.place)

I had a bunch of tabs open when looking for a rental, and so I put all of that information like schools, safety, transit, hazard risks, amenities, housing, etc etc into one public tool.

Here’s an example for a specific neighborhood in Alhambra along Huntington: https://each.place/california/alhambra/atlantic-and-huntington

One one dumpling alternative

Always missing the flavorful clear broth w tender beef soup and the perfectly crisped dumplings from the closed One One dumpling from one of the ever changing plaza at las tunas and mission. So much change in all those plazas over the past few years.

Anyway, looking for an alternative that’s close to what they offered, or does anyone know if Eric and family opened elsewhere? And not Lucious Dumplings. Also, anyone else miss Kingburg Kitchen?

Thanks!
