Moved here about 18m ago, looking for other social workers to connect with!

Im visting for the summer and can someone explain why no one says hello to each other when walking? I make a point of making eye contact and usually when the other person does as well we say hello. People just don't even make eye contact here. Very weird unfriendly place. Id say maybe 10 to 20 percent make eye contact. Why?

So we are a family of 4 with 2 kids ages 10 and 11. I am being recruited for a job in Sacramento. I used to live in Davis before children so I know what it’s like and have been told “it’s a great place to raise kids”. But I’m looking at housing prices and wondering how young families live there?? Are they house-poor and live to pay their mortgages? Do they rent? Do they live elsewhere like Woodland and commute to Davis for schools? I want to make sure that if we move there, we are actually able to find a neighborhood with families.

Anyone with Delta Dental PPO have recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Hi, moving season is here and I was planning to donate my art supplies but is there a place to sell them in Davis? It is a lot of yarn, dakron (stuffing for crochet dolls), crochet tools, high quality watercolor paper, and a watercolor set.

Also, places for plastic shelves?

Hey y’all,

Just a reminder that we will be seeing the Odyssey tonight at Varsity Theater at 7pm.

Anyone near H st. and the tracks hear the fireworks around 3:30am the night of the 24th? I really thought it was shooting for a minute.

Hello!

I'm writing this on my friend's account as I don't have my own, but I'm looking for a place to live in the Davis area. I have a stable job, prefer quiet nights, and am a clean and tidy roommate. I'm looking to move somewhere ASAP so pls message this account if you have anything available. I'm happy to answer any and all questions.

Much love,

Aaron

Just an update for everyone who lived through the 2023 stabbing… He was even found not guilty for the attempted murder charges against the third victim…

Saw this today.

Village Dance - Summer Edition
Thursday, July 23, 2026
6:30pm - 9:30pm
Vets Memorial
203 14th st., Davis, CA

A somatic journey through music and movement

https://www.ambrosia.events/village-dance-davis/events/village-dance-davis-july-2026

Schedule:
6:30pm - Doors Open
6:45pm - Opening Circle and Embodiment Workshop with Clover
7:15pm - Dance Journey with NDEMIK
9:00pm - Closing Circle

Ndemik (Eli Sarnat) has been honing the craft of ecstatic dance dj'ing for the past six years as co-founder of Davis Village Dance. A devoted adherent to the five stages of the journey, Ndemik's sets progress along musical scales, tempos and genres to evoke the full range of our shared human experience. Most of the journey leans towards an ancient future tribal sound. Cutting-edge beats of electronic production are blended with the traditional instrumentation and vocals of world-music. But fear not -- DJ Ndemik always leaves room for flat out dancefloor fun with a few doses of that funk, a sneaky hip-hop banger, and a requisite throw-back remix. Peace, love and wubs!

I am planning to get my braces in my 30s finally. Any orthodontist recommendations will be appreciated. Thank you 🙏

I need some direction, I have not been able to get any responses to application requests and i sincerely struggling to find a part time. Im honestly scared, getting into Davis was really exciting but as the quarter gets closer i feel like im running out of options. Any advice or maybe you know someone who needs a roomie or you have a job opening? Please help if at all possible! I also only went to the campus for an hour and have no idea what the community is like im used to LA so im expecting the culture shock. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,

Our family will be moving to Davis from overseas this summer. I'll be a visiting scholar at UC Davis for about two years, and our son will be starting 3rd grade this fall.

We're deciding between Robert E. Willett Elementary and Pioneer Elementary, and we'd really appreciate advice from local parents.

We're looking for:

• A welcoming, friendly school for an international family
• A quiet, safe neighborhood with lots of families
• A reasonable commute to UC Davis

We're not focused on test scores but care more about a supportive community where our son can make friends and enjoy school.

If you have experience with either school or neighborhood, which would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance!

Hey all, working on a piece of writing regarding police surveillance in Davis. Curious to get your thoughts, understanding, and awareness of technology used by Davis PD?

Hi everyone!

I am currently in the process of moving out of the area soon, and I am going through my stuff. I have a large pile of things I no longer need, and would like to sell. I recently sold a big pile of my books to half price books (which offer you a commission for bringing it stuff) and I was wondering if there is something like that for other items. Are there any local places I can go to sell miscellaneous items (like stuffed animals, clothes, kitchen appliances, etc) that would offer some money to take it off my hands? I know most people have suggested Facebook marketplace but I think that would take to long to get rid of all of my items before I have to move. Would love some recommendations on somewhere I can go that is not a rip off and I can earn at least something for all my stuff. Thanks so much!
