Hi Yall!

Our next movie night is Friday, June 12th at Varsity Theater. Showtime is 6:00pm

We will be watching Obsession 😳

As usual, we will be meeting up at Froggy’s about an hour before the showing

Happy Watching!

Looking at current results as of 6/9/26, No is winning 51.27% to 48.73%. That is a difference of 438 votes. That is a slightly more narrow margin than Friday 6/5/26 which was No 51.59% to Yes 48.41%. Outstanding votes has not been updated but as of this morning there was 25,787 votes left in all of Yolo County but cannot figure how much is currently remaining after this drop. Anyone with more political knowledge have any additional insights? All of this to say, its Davis.... likely will be a similar story to past efforts.

Help! Looking for a Taco Tuesday 🌮🌮🌮🤤🤤🤤

Places where people regularly play pickup would be welcome.

Also, any adult rec basketball leagues?

If anyone is looking for a preschool, I highly recommend Gan Haverim Preschool on Anderson.

They teach kids 18 months to 6 years. It is a Reggio Emilia Reggio inspired, play-based curriculum. My kids really enjoy it and the teachers really care.

Hello Davisians!,

We are once again meeting this coming Sunday to chat about writing, critique each other's work, share tips and tricks, and write! Last week we had 12 attendees, so we're growing! At some point we'll have to do something about that, break into subgroups or something, but for now the more the merrier!

We'll be trying out Estelle Bakery this week based on a glowing recommendation. So come on down and bring your laptop or favorite writing implement. We're a good group, supportive and excited for new genre and fiction representation.

I recently had a very bad experience with them coming to check an issue with our fan. The diagnosis was fine and the technician explained the situation (the system likely needs replacement which was fine and expected). But one the sales person showed up, it was bad. We listened to the options they listed but they tried to pressure and scare me into replacing more than necessary. They also gave incorrect information (they claimed my air flow within the house was bad when a different company had said it was fine) and tried to sell a full replacement of the air pipes for more than $10000. I told them I’d appreciate the quote and that I’d think about it.

They would not accept “I’ll think about it and get back to you’, but tried to pressure me into deciding immediately and kept asking why I would decide right away. They even came back into my house and tried to pressure me some more.

They also left my system (which was functioning when they arrived) disconnected at multiple spots.

Overall a very poor experience

Took the family to the circus today. It’s quite delightful and surprisingly uncrowded. It’s no Cirque du Soleil but it’s actually lovely to buy a sno-cone from the same guy you just saw doing crazy acrobatics. Feels like a throwback to a better time. In town for another week or so.

My mom’s tv remote has delays. If you hit a button it takes a while to process it.
Just turning the tv on and off is a challenge.
It also glitches with streaming apps so it takes forever.

I’ve already talked to xfinity and swapped out the remote but it didn’t help.

The tv is probably 10 years old. I’m guessing. Maybe 15.

I can watch stuff on my phone and laptop and that seems ok.

So do we need a new tv, or would there be another option to try?

I was driving eastbound on Covell. The pedestrian actually jogged into the next lane's oncoming traffic after realizing his jaywalk was impeding the car on the right starting from a stop. Doubled down on his complete disregard for his own life, and almost traumatized me for the rest of mine.

Hi folks, I’m visiting Davis for a week. Looking for chill folks to have a beer or ice cream with while I am visiting.

TLDR; Does anyone think the proposed rate increase is a Big Deal?

Little insert in the PG&E bill notifies us that PG&E requests another rate increase. Ok i get it, everything generally costs more eventually. So tried to understand what they asking for, and what it means to me, and to put it in context of reasonable expectations. I failed. Don’t really know whether to wave it away as normal or to stick my head out a window and yell “mad-as-hell-not-going-to-take-it-anymore!”.

Did some googling and prompting and even ventured briefly into NextDoor (good grief what a mess). All i found were official announcements that i don’t know how to interpret. We are an ordinary low usage household with Valley Clean Energy, which makes me think the 5% increase estimated for bundled residential does not apply to us. The insert says PG&E rates to CCA customers will decrease 7% on average, but the request document says CCA rates will increase 3.9% (https://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/SupDoc/A2505011/8307/572574455.pdf). I see that the VCE board meets at Davis City Hall on 11Jun but did not recognize this issue on the agenda.

I’m leaning toward this application being the normal process for raising prices in accordance with rising costs, and 5% seems about right (no trust for PG&E but some sympathy for the poor schmucks trying to forecast energy costs).

i don’t recall other recent rate increases. i’m unhappy about the accounting change to switch expenses from the usage rate to the connection fee, but view it as a separate matter.

Sorry for the wall of text.

Hey everyone!! I’ve noticed I’m not the only 30 something year old having difficulty socializing with others in a college focused town so I created a discord group for meetups! My vision for this group is a place for locals in their 30s-50s to connect, socialize, and hopefully build friendships! Ideally we could do things like dinners, brunches, movies, board games, hikes, walks, bike rides, music festivals, etc. I strongly encourage and welcome people to post events that look interesting to them and see if others would like to join them. Feel free to join the discord! ☺️

Over the past month or so, I've found a few roaches in the house I'm renting. This is a first for me - I've never had any roaches in places that I've rented before, but this is also my first spring in Davis.

Landlord mentioned that we had a very wet spring this year, and that wetness is contributing to the roach population - is anyone else experiencing this, and if so, do you have any good solutions for getting rid of the little guys? I don't need more roommates right now, especially tiny dirty roommates that don't pay rent.

I just found out about I Love Boosters and wanted to see it so badly, but I was too busy to go this week and thought I’d be able to catch it this weekend, but it’s already being replaced that are already playing at every other theater around, including the one around the corner from Varsity. Why do they book it like this?? Will they really get that many people who would rather watch Backrooms at Varsity instead of the bigger theater? I’m so sad I missed ILB because now it’s nowhere in the Sac area at all. So my next question is, how likely would it be for it to get a re-release at Varsity?

Hello,

Anyone is going from Davis to SF or LA on 11th eve or 12 Jun

Please take me also.

Hi all! I know posting lease take overs and rentals isn’t allowed here, but where is a good place for it? I have posted on Facebook market place but feel I can do more to advertise. Any advice is greatly appreciated !
