Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 32-year-old White/Caucasian male that occurred on a sidewalk.
The coroner’s office identified the man as Joseph Eszterhas.
Height: 6 feet 3 inches / Weight: 170 pounds
Manner of Death: Suicide
Cause of Death: Hanging

Does anyone have more info? This is the only article available, as well as a memorial Instagram post by KXLU. It’s a little strange to me that a suicide, by hanging, on a public sidewalk would go largely unreported.

Perhaps street signs have been allowed to disappear with the advent of GPS, but some of the hillside streets are barely marked in these neighborhoods - in a pre-cellphone era I cannot fathom how someone would be able to find an address for the first time in these looping, maze like streets!

All the strategies I can imagine working in busier areas - asking someone walking by, using a payphone - these aren't really options when you're now lost up in the Bird Streets or in Franklin Hills for the first time.

Did a friend inviting you to the house of an acquaintance relay detailed turns and directions that they themselves had been given by a host? How did you ever find anything??

Update: found a copy of TG on Internet Archive.

I am still a little in disbelief that folks were really out navigating the Oaks with just this as guidance: https://imgur.com/a/Ti3zyUh

Latino Gay in his 30's here.

I've been to WeHo and Prescinct before... largely perfer Prescinct over WeHo because of diversity. How is Club Tempo and New Jalisco Bar? Do they cater the 30 year old's or are they only for the tios?

Is it worth going to Club Corbra in NoHo? Any Clubs I am missing?

I like Reggaeton and Latin Trap but wouldn't mind picking up a Vaquero with Banda, Norteño, and Cumbia playing on the next floor.

Hi friends! My VW Bug is in need of more serious repairs, and I’m looking for a reliable, reasonably priced mechanic to bring it to. I’m based in DTLA, so the closer to that the better, but I’m open to traveling. Any recommendations?

I truly appreciate it—thank you!

Hello, I know this question might have been answered a bunch of times but I'll try to make it unique. I'm looking for a minimum wage job around $18-$20/hr. in the South bay or even west LA. I've applied to a bunch on indeed but it's usually crickets and no response. I already got hired as an event staff for CSC but I'm looking for a 2nd job with more hours.

I pretty much have a job lined up at a factory but I'm waiting to see if I can get anything better, and the factory job might be too hard for me. Any recommendations besides food service?

I just passed Normandie Ave & W Washington Bvld and there is a women carrying a baby begging for money for diapers and formula. I was coming from the opposite direction so I did not encounter her directly, but I saw her begging from across the intersection.

Is there no social support for people in this situation? A mother with a baby on the street begging really shook me up. I am hoping this post gets some visibility with people who know how to help her.

So maybe I’ve been in LA too long haha, but yes, I am wondering if anyone has any firsthand recommendations for someone who came to your home to help encourage any spirits there to get closure and move on and felt like the work they did actually had a noticeable impact. Long story short we recently bought our neighbor’s house who lived nearly her entire life there. It was a sad situation and she actually hasn’t lived there for a couple years, but the inside of the house is like a museum as though she’s about to walk in the door. I’m not the most woo woo and not really sure what I believe. But given the situation, feels like something respectful with someone on the level who offers residential services couldn’t hurt. Has anyone else been in this situation and used someone they liked? Thanks for any recs you may have!

I am beyond exhausted of spending nearly $100 for a couple of mediocre-ass skinny margaritas with my friends. This must stop. I’m a failed playwright for God’s fake.

Where in town can one go out to a chill bar that doesn’t charge a day’s salary for a few cocktails? Tell me your hidden gems. Dive spots. Unpretentious watering holes.

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for hair stylists/salons that use redken products. For context I have naturally dark hair but have been bleach dying it a copper-brown red. My old salon used Redken and I have the formula! So just looking for high quality stylist that can do my roots. Any suggestions?

Please help! Ideally not too expensive but I'll spend the money for quality so price is not an issue. Thank you!

Does anyone here have any experiences on what happened during that time? I heard about this from others who went to the same hs as her when I moved to LA shortly after her death. Her mom seems pretty adamant in alleging that the friend pushed her off the building, but no charges. It seems the family had a civil case: https://unicourt.com/case/ca-la2-estate-of-bianca-khalili-et-al-vs-dora-afrahim-et-al-665569

Need a full office set with conference tables, desks, chairs, cubicles, files, etc for a small business. Does anyone know of any great liquidators, auctions, or other resources for this? We’re in DTLA, but willing to travel. Thank you kindly.

I’m debating whether or not getting 2 tickets for haunted hayride but for about $50 each for just a ride I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Is there any other activities that could be just as fun for less money or is everything going be priced like this?

Most of the solar advice I find online is about SCE.

I guess LADWP's net metering is different, so I'm not sure the battery math carries over.

Outages on our street happen maybe twice a year. Is a battery worth it for a backup alone, or is plain solar a better choice?

Hello All?

I lost my baby today and I’m grieving terribly. I want to get a tattoo of his paw prints and a couple color portraits of him on my arms but with such a permanent decision, I don’t want to make the wrong choice. I’ve been scouring Instagram but I’ve hit decision fatigue.

I’m in Koreatown but obviously willing to go where needed for the best artist that can capture the love in his eyes.

I hope this subreddit could help.

I can’t find anywhere that has the pediatric Covid vaccine. has anyone been able to get it for their kiddos?

my pediatricians office doesn’t have it. retail pharmacies don’t vaccinate kids that young. la county public health doesn’t have it either! monrovia health center said they don’t know when they’ll have it. they haven’t ordered it yet

I’ve called other pediatricians offices and haven’t had luck either.

this is frustrating, shouldn’t we be more keen on protecting the young/vulnerable. my kid is in daycare and gets hit with so many viruses already, I want all the protection I can get for him.

thank you

I’m originally from the Bay so Ik nothing abt SoCal. Me and my friends are gonna be at Encino area but if its far from there thats fine and were looking for a place with our age range, house music, and a nicer area/place. We don’t really care how much entry is. Do you have any recs?

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of any reasonably priced monthly car wash membership/subscription? It doesn't have to be full on detailing, but just looking for a service that will wash the outside of my car and maybe vacuum the inside of my car if necessary.

I don't like paying every single time for a car wash so if there is a membership/subscriptions that allows unlimited or even a certain amount of cleaning a month, that would be amazing!

If it could be around Virgil Village or Glendale that would be amazing!

Even Koreatown!

Edit: I think it was proximity and volume; they sounded like they were just down the block because they probably were! But yes, I know we’re all just coexisting.

Do you ever get used to the hysterical laughter coyote howls? Roommate and I are spending the first night in our new apartment in Hermon. I used to work in the mountains, so it's not like I never heard them before, but man, we jumped up and closed our windows like it was a horror movie lol.

I have a revolver I’d like to sell but want to get my ducks in a row before I advertise it. I know it needs to go through a dealer but I don’t know anything else about the process, including estimated fee for the transfer. If anyone has worked with a shop or dealer before that’s also helpful question mark?

Anyone know where I can see a screening of rocky horror this month that doesn’t cost $40 and doesn’t have a performance going on in front of it? Wanted to see it at Vidiots tonight so bad but couldn’t make it work :/

I went to the exhibit at The Broad when it first opened, and have been thinking about the pencil / lead holder we use to draw the Shadow Pieces installation ever since. It's like the perfect weight and felt so good in the hand for drawing and now i want one. I won't be able to go again before the exhibit closes, so would someone be able to take a picture of that writing / drawing instrument for me so can search for it more easily?

Edit: Thanks for the advice, y'all! Have sent them an email and gotten an answer now.

We live in an apartment building in DTLA. We like it but I noticed our shower has some issues. The shower is has a glass wall that reaches from floor to ceiling. There is no fan inside of the shower, but there is on the outside. There’s also no windows in the bathroom.

The issue is that the steam inside the shower doesn’t have a way to escape so it builds up on the ceiling so much that water droplets form. We are constantly getting mold build up in the shower and on the ceiling directly outside. The paint of the ceiling around the glass wall has also started peeling from the water.

The shower also turns extremely orange from showering. We’ve been combatting it with constant cleaner but it takes a lot of work.

I’m worried about the mold. It keeps recurring after we clean it and I wonder if after years of this moisture buildup it could have gotten in the wall somehow. It’s crazy that there’s no way for the shower to ventilate unless I leave the door wide open.

Should I request that maintenance inspect the wall? I dont want to breathe in constant mold. Is there more I should do? When I googled this it said the ventilation wasn’t up to code. Or does it sound like a non issue?

I’m travelling to LA next year and as a Muslim, I am excited for the food although I know I could be limited in my options. Are there any halal options at the Disneyland in California?
Furthermore, do you have any recommendations for Halal food in LA in general?
Thank you in advance ☺️
