Why is Google maps back to showing old satellite images of Altadena?

Not too long after the fire, Google updated the satellite imagery to reflect the fire and thousands of lost structures. Now it's back to pre-fire images of houses and businesses that are no longer there. Why?

Always a Duckling Forever.

Hi Everyone! I’ve got 4 spots available for the game at Honda Center this Thursday, May 14th.

Recent health appointments have made it impossible for us to make it, so I've had to make the hard choice to let these go. I’d love for them to go to real fans who will enjoy the game at a fair cost.

I’m flexible if you need one, two, three, or all four, and I can transfer them individually. Please reach out if you're interested.

Thank you! 🏒🦆🧡

there was a church on the other side that my grandmother would attend. My brother and I use to always run over and get chips/snacks. Great memories.

Hi everyone! My wife and I recently bought a cute little home in West Altadena, and were hoping to design it with a mid-century vibe. Since we’re expecting our first baby this fall, we’re looking for family-friendly insight specifically furniture and decor that can handle a growing family.

It's our first home and we are thrilled to be nesting in this lovely community! Does anyone have recommendations for local and/or aspiring interior designers who might be a good fit? ❤️

Hello Everyone,

Architecture Question.

I have over 30 years of experience in residential design and construction. When I see people posting questions in my field, especially those navigating fire-rebuild decisions, I try to offer thoughtful guidance and invite them to call so we can talk through their situation in more detail, as a professional courtesy. I’m not reaching out to pressure anyone into hiring me; I genuinely want to help. I grew up in Pacific Palisades, and it means a lot to support a community that gave me such a wonderful childhood. If someone ultimately considers me for their project, I’d be grateful—but that’s not my intention when I respond to a post.

Question: I’m truly happy to share my experience and offer help at no cost, but I’ve noticed that people rarely reach out after I respond. I include my phone number in case it’s easier to talk things through, yet no one has ever called. To help reassure people that I’m legitimate and experienced, I also share my website: Benson Design & Development & Co.

Do people just not trust anyone to really care to help?

Wondering if those of you who have taken/received the SCE payouts, have your insurance companies come back to you asking for money back on your claim?

thank you!
