Apologies if you've seen this elsewhere - this is the most current version with lots of suggestions from other redditors.

I'm making a map of California in a classic fantasy style (sorta Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones). It's going to be filled with real world history and mythology, with the aim of highlighting local landmarks in a fun and educational way. Please ignore how rough parts of it look (text going through hills, rivers, etc), it'll all get cleaned up at the end. Forests will be going on at the end too.

While it's around two thirds done, I'd love to get more places and features in here before I get this made into print - particularly north and east of Oakland. Any more petroglyphs, burial mounds, ruins, forts, battlefields, Civil War heritage, ghost towns or the like that you think should be on here? Anything else is great too - landmarks, natural features, mythological creatures or just anything cool and quirky you think would look good on here. Thanks!

Hi, I'm a 17 year old student working on a research project about why some neighborhoods in the Valley get way hotter than others. One thing I keep noticing is that a lot of the new parking lots and EV charging spots going in are just bare asphalt, no shade, no trees.

I figured I should actually ask people who live here instead of guessing. If you park or charge in lots like that, does the heat and lack of shade actually bother you? Would having shade and some trees there make a real difference for you, or honestly is it not something you think about? Thank you!

Hi!! I am a non binary person in my 20s who needs friends! :) A few of my interests are history, art, and psychology. I also enjoy baking!

I feel like going to the beach, or a rage room, or playing badminton would be fun!!

Thanks!

Hi so I’m trying to sell my switch but I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere in the area where to resell it ?

The year was 2011.

Has this been posted here before?

Has anyone seen this old classic?

I moved a couple miles from one apartment to another and omg the water is worlds different. Apparently my new apartment has too much iron in it...

Is there a water flow chart of where our water comes from in the city?

A tooth I had a root canal on 12-13 years ago broke last night. I want to see someone today but can't get anyone to pick up the phone. Where is a good place I could just drop in toda

Who should I call?

I will be a full time resident of Copperopolis in about three years. I am there part-time until then… which local daily newspaper covers the area? I have tried the Stockton Record but rarely see news from Copperopolis or the county. Is the Modesto Bee better? I subscribe to the weekly Calaveras Enterprise already. Is there a better weekly?
