BVES keeps turning the electric off and raises rates. They need a work around to keep the electric service on. It seems time that the utility has a new owner that is more dependable.
bullet SCM ALERT🚨 on Friday 02 October 2026 - 18:19:00
From BVES: Be advised that customers will experience a planned outage on Monday, October 5th from 11:30PM to 7AM Oct. 6. Medical needs? Plan backup power now.

I do like me some Panda Express!
bullet BootsNBridles on Friday 02 October 2026 - 13:58:27
Don't we need another Mexican food place? The 17 we have need more competition! . Ok how about Panda Express? In and Out has always said no to Big Bear. A nice bakery would be great in the village. An alpine themed one would suit well.
bullet watchful on Friday 02 October 2026 - 13:14:36
How about a huge retail shop that only has maybe 10 dust covered items for sale, with music blaring and a kid at the checkout binge-watching TikTok? Or maybe a food place where you pay (and tip) ahead of time, seat yourself, wipe your own table and wait 45 minutes for the food?
bullet marshall on Friday 02 October 2026 - 12:25:47
watchful,
That's a great idea for a store. I can only think of two or three stores in the valley who sell these items. Let's hear from SOCALMOUNTAINS people what would be a great fit for the property? Any ideas?
bullet MountainKitten on Friday 02 October 2026 - 11:37:03
Huge thanks to CalTrans for cleaning up all the tacky political signage along the roadways in BBC!
bullet watchful on Friday 02 October 2026 - 11:01:11
Hmm. How about a store that sells "Big Bear Lake, CA" clothing, post cards, and plastic figurines?
bullet BootsNBridles on Friday 02 October 2026 - 10:46:17
I wonder if they are leasing or selling? Selling would be worse as someone may decide we need another strip mall in the village...
bullet Benny ⭐ on Friday 02 October 2026 - 10:14:11
Yeah how'd that work out for them? Now they have no tenant.
Bummer, I need my jack taco fix. lol
bullet holeinbow on Friday 02 October 2026 - 09:18:19
Yeah i miss jack. I heard the owners upped the rent by 10k, which is a shame cause jack was there for at least 50 years...
bullet Trua on Friday 02 October 2026 - 09:01:06
Ideally? A Jack in the Box. 😁

Though I wouldn't turn away a Del Taco.
bullet BootsNBridles on Friday 02 October 2026 - 07:56:54
So in an ideal world what would go on where the Jack in the Box was? (It's on the market. Approx 1/2 acre)

True all. And, like Doo, our home has its own independent power source. However, out-of-control PSPS's create widespread hardship in Big Bear Valley. If we don't bring this up, the PUC fools won't have these complaints in their meeting notes -- it won't be on the record. Better to speak up about it than fume in silence.
bullet BillyJean on Thursday 01 October 2026 - 16:01:22
Good point! But some people don't have the $30k in cash to fork out for a solar system. And if you lease, well, then you're paying them for your power, so it doesn't really save you anything in the end.
bullet doo·hick·ey on Thursday 01 October 2026 - 15:16:12
If y'all had opt'd for BVES to install a reverse meter ~a decade ago and jumped on NEM-S grid crediting using ur home's solar array, you'd not even have an electric bill (minus piddly usage service fees).

But that was perhaps like a stock market investment, to the uninformed...
bullet BillyJean on Thursday 01 October 2026 - 14:44:36
For clarification, that's more like 6x's other states.
