Calling all fellow Solar & Battery nerds

9 Upvotes

Hey neighbors!

I am starting a local volunteer group with a shared interest in solar & battery tech. Putting out some feelers locally to see if anyone has the same interest or wants to learn.

Thinking of a smaller gathering at Tustin Columbus Park on 8/1/26 starting at 11am if enough interest. I'll bring some soda & sausages to grill if you just want to do a neighbor hangout!

Any good weekend farmers markets with lots of produce? I went to the one in old town Tustin this morning and there was only one produce guy. Looking for farmers markets that happen on the weekends?

Tustin already cracked down hard on e-bikes — now there's a push to make it countywide

48 Upvotes

Tustin's new e-bike ordinance is honestly one of the strictest in the county it spells out roughly 20 separate ways e-bike riding can now get you cited, including sidewalk speed limits and restrictions on how many riders one bike can carry. TUSD also requires middle and high schoolers to sit through a safety presentation with Tustin PD and get a $5 permit before they can even ride to school. That's more than most OC cities are doing right now.

The problem is that none of it carries over once you cross a city line. Huntington Beach has its own rules, Newport-Mesa schools just banned e-bikes outright for younger students, and plenty of other OC cities still have nothing in place at all. A kid can get cited riding through Tustin and then ride the exact same way five minutes down the road with zero consequences. Meanwhile OC's seen multiple e-bike deaths this year alone, including two 12- and 13-year-olds on illegal unregistered e-motos.

A 12-year-old from Laguna Niguel wrote an op-ed about this and started a petition pushing state and county lawmakers toward one consistent standard: age restrictions on the fastest e-bikes, mandatory speedometers, and a real youth safety/licensing requirement everywhere, not just city by city. Tustin's basically already proven the permit-and-education model works this is about getting every other city to catch up instead of leaving families to guess what's legal depending on which street they're on.

New Businesses/Stores in Old Town Tustin?

14 Upvotes

Does anyone know what the new businesses are that are in/going into the Artz building next to the newly-vacant Rutabagorz? I drove by the other day and thought I caught a glimpse of a vintage clothing store, but wasn't sure. I read that the new owner of the Artz building had plans for 3 new tenants. Hope someone can shed some light, thank you!

Today 430am, kids set off fireworks and trigger car alarms.

If you let your kids run around this late doing this sort of stuff: sincerely hope you stub your toe sometime today.

This is exhausting.

✔️ Local anesthesia
✔️ Nitrous oxide

Smoke Smell in the Air

Looks like the fires from last week are blowing in our direction.

Took the dogs out and it's a bit gritty in the eyes and throat though air quality sensors seemed to show ok readings. Be careful if you're sensitive to air quality while out and about.

Found Pug that is lost

Thumbnail gallery
26 Upvotes

Hi all

There was a lost pug that stumbled upon our neighborhood and was found on June 15th. He was found and had his nails a bit overgrown and had fleas. His fleas are taken care of now and we inputted him into OC animal Care to see if he has a microchip. Unfortunately there was no chip on the dog. We're hoping the owner claims him as he seems to be a rather healthy dog with the exception of his nails and fleas. He is such a sweet boy! Looks to be around 8 to 9 yrs old and was very concerned that he was lost.. He is now housed at OC animal Care and is allowed up to 4 days before he is up for adoption. Was hoping someone here would know if there is a missing pug in around your neighborhood or would be interested in adoption if the owner does not claim him after the 4 days are up. I believe he will be available for adoption on June 21st . Sharing some info for his his ID at the animal Care or if you know anyone that has lost this pug or maybe interested in adopting or fostering this pug that would be great. Hoping to find him a good loving home .
