On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at approximately 7:05 AM, my friend, Philip Chon, was riding his yellow 2019 Honda Monkey motorcycle on his way to work when he was struck and killed at the intersection of Ventura Blvd and Carpenter Ave, Studio City, CA.

The driver was in a dark blue 2004 Honda Odyssey traveling westbound on Ventura. They made an unprotected left turn onto Carpenter Ave, struck Philip, abandoned the van on Carpenter Ave south of Ventura (which investigators have impounded), and fled on foot. 

If you live, work, or drive along Ventura Blvd, Carpenter Ave, or surrounding streets/access points, please check your Ring cameras, home or business security cameras, and dashcams for footage from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM on September 22.

Footage of the van before the collision or someone fleeing on foot afterward could help. Even if you don't think your video has anything important in it.

Some camera systems automatically delete old recordings, so please save anything relevant in case it gets overwritten.

I’m aware that the incident technically did not occur in NoHo (and I’ve already shared this in r/studiocity before you ask), but it’s close enough that I’m hoping that someone who happened to be in the area during the time of the accident has valuable information that can lead to IDing the suspect. But weeks have passed already, and we still have not heard any updates from LAPD yet. 😔 We’ve been sharing this on our personal social medias like IG and FB, and someone I know has already shared this on r/SFV a week or so ago.

Just sharing what I've done so far. Would love suggestions for more. Odyssey video? Skinny's?

So far I’ve mostly been busking at Burbank and Glendale malls but I want to find some closer spots around Noho. is there anywhere with a lot of foot traffic that might be good to check out? i know there’s noho arts but I’m not sure how safe I’ll feel busking there as a solo female

"MARY & MARGO'S HALLOWEEN SIDESHOW OF MADNESS"

North Hollywood, CA--  Mary & Margo Are Back From the Dead!  After dying in a horrific theater accident years ago, Mary and Margo have been trapped in the Void, where they’ve spent their time creating what they believe will be their greatest show yet. There’s just one problem: in order to perform, they must be summoned back from the dead—and returning to the land of the living comes with consequences.

Will Mary and Margo finally get the chance to perform their masterpiece without a single failure? Or will they be caught and demoted to another realm?  There’s only one way to find out—and only the audience can help Mary and Margo accomplish their dream of performing one last time.

Originally created as a series of online sketches during quarantine, Mary & Margo has evolved into a powerhouse theatrical experience that has appeared at venues including The Broadwater and Eastwood Hollywood Theatre. Their most recent production, The Mary & Margo Art Expérience, was a hit with Hollywood Fringe audiences and received a Theatre 68 award.

Now...Mary and Margo are taking their strange, hilarious, and deeply misguided artistic ambitions into the afterlife for a Halloween experience unlike anything they’ve attempted before!  Written, Directed and Starring Katie Oliver and Kristen Hansen; Produced by Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group and Matt Morillo for KADM Productions. 

For Ages 15+; Wheelchair Accessible; Costumes Encouraged!

So curious what this. Is it a private film studio? It’s a nice white building (pictured) attached to a long brick building with a gate on Biloxi. Picture is an alternate gate off Chandler. 🤔

Cannot wait...and I love me some grassroots indie haunt that feels truly only can happen in LA...

8:15 am , dog crossed through heavy traffic, folks on the sidewalk tried to get him to stay off the roads but he seemed scared to be touched. I couldn't snag a photo but he was dark brown and tan, about the size of a corgi with medium pointy ears, mixed breed 30ish lbs. If anyone is looking for him he went down Camarillo near petco unleashed. Shoutout to the guy who ran into the intersection to stop people from hitting him!

Looking for a Karaoke bar, friendly neighborhood vibe.

Is there a farmers market in NoHo? And what about the rest of the week?

Hey everyone!

​I moved to the area a little over a year ago and run Unfriendly Studios, a private, soundproofed venue on Burbank Blvd in North Hollywood. As a fellow creator, my main goal is to support our local community by giving indie filmmakers, actors, and crews an accessible space to showcase their work and connect with each other.

​We are officially open for submissions for our upcoming Short Film & Music Video Screening on Saturday, November 7th!

( I do this once a month, so if you see this too late, you can still email me cinemaunfriendly@gmail.com)

​Here are the details:

​What we’re looking for: Short films, horror/creepy projects, surreal/mind-bending stories, dark thrillers, and music videos.

​The Event Setup: We feature a double-seating screening format with dedicated Q&A sessions for featured creators, followed by a networking mixer where filmmakers, actors, and crew members can kick back and connect for future collaborations.

​If you’d like to submit your short film or get more details on how to participate, please send an email to:

📧 cinemaunfriendly@gmail.com

​Note: I am almost never on Reddit and won't see DMs here! To see venue photos, past events, or stay updated, catch us on Instagram:

​@UnfriendlyStudios (venue photos & event updates)

​@MetalSanaz (my personal page)

​Looking forward to watching your films and bringing the local creative community together! 🎥🖤

Mosquitos eating me alive right now, and as usual there's water in the street constantly. All summer long. It's so persistent there's moss growing under it. (Magnolia & Vineland)

Isn't this standing water probably a breeding ground for mosquitos? Can I contact County Health or something?

My time off has unexpectedly been prolonged and I’m wanting to use the time to really explore some clubs/hobbies around the area for the month before I hop back in to a 60-hour work week.

Would love to know if there’s anything of the sort that runs for about 4 weeks or so:

Run/Walking Clubs
Acting Workshops
Recreational Sports
Musical workshops (drumming, singing, etc)
Volunteer Opportunities
Cooking Classes
Art Classes

Open to all ideas and can be outside of Burbank!
