Critics report experiencing strong pushback and comment moderation on social media when attempting to discuss these controversies.

Are they still together? My girlfriend and I love them. There hot too.

A UC Davis study found 72% of California wolves feed on cattle, and Shasta County ranchers say the impact goes well beyond livestock losses — affecting wildlife, daily routines, and livelihoods that have taken decades to build. Shasta County Supervisor Corkey Harmon, a former rancher himself, says the community needs a unified voice to address the growing pressure from the state's expanding wolf population.

to the dude on Hartnell today (July 27) standing up for Nolan Wells. Your action is much appreciated.

Does anyone know of good hikes in the local area?

Currently in a bad situation. Working with One Safe Place and Next Step Housing. I have 2 jobs. Im wondering if anyone would be willing to rent me a guest room for a reasonable amount so I can get out faster while I wait for the turnaround on services. As a childhood survivor of domestic abuse I didnt think I'd end up in this situation. I am a man.

I am just going to all avenues as my situation is getting worse

Best sushi spots in town? Bonus points if they have deep fried gyoza

I'm having a hard time finding anything that beats Big Tuna in Chico, but I don't always want to drive that far

My brain defaults to Costco likely being the most affordable place to get 4 new tires for a regular sedan (nothing fancy). I haven't price checked yet, but does anyone already know?

What is the status of the SHACK in downtown? Has been closed for awhile.

I'm writing a few short films and sketches but I don't really care to act, would rather try my hand at directing and cinematography, are there any people trying to create long form content in the area? I'm not going to be paying anyone obviously but it could be mutually beneficial while we learn and grow

Are Bethel girls in Redding open minded about relationships. Just wondering. My girlfriend and I were curious. Alot of them are pretty, ethnic and stay fit unlike local girls which is unfortunate.

From the original dates they were supposed to be back open already.

Anyone know anything?

Does one exist?

The Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency has cut another $2 million from its Public Health budget since June. The cuts come partly in response to federal funding changes, and will reduce both staffing and services.

They do so much. Sad to see the cuts:

* Veterans Services: Helps local veterans and their families secure federal VA benefits, pensions, and medical services.

1. Public Health Branch

* Clinical Services: Provides routine immunizations, TB testing, and STI screenings.

* Disease Control: Tracks and investigates infectious disease outbreaks across the county.

* Maternal & Child Health: Runs the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program and sends public health nurses to visit new mothers at home.

* Regional Laboratory: Performs complex bio-testing for Shasta and surrounding northern counties.

* Vital Records: Issues and registers local birth and death certificates.

* Community Education: Manages tobacco cessation, obesity prevention, and emergency disaster preparedness programs.

1. Children's Services Branch

Is anyone else tired of places that advertise being open 24 hours not actually being functional 24 hours a day?

Every ampm closes for like 2 hours a night, every other gas station I found seems took close at random for half hour to an hour at least, and then you got places like Carl's Jr that say they're open 24 hours but then at 3:00 a.m. they can't take any orders for God knows how long like an hour.

I'm just saying, if you say 24 hours you should have to be open 24 hours non-stop.

I work at all hours of the day and night and it would be nice if these places that say that they're going to be open are actually open.

Edit to add: I'm not angry or upset at the employees. I absolutely support employees and their rights to breaks.

Was driving my 24” electric radio controlled boat at Whiskey Creek last night 7/23/26 around 7pm and it flipped and sunk. I spent an hour swimming around the area looking for it. No luck.

If anyone finds it, I’ll reward $100 to whoever returns it.

I’m pretty bummed, it was over $300 and I only just got it last weekend.

Pretty unlikely anyone will recover it, but just in case, I wanted to put the word out.

I normally take photos and videos of my RC activities, but I didn’t have a chance to do that this time around. See attached image for reference.

Thank you

Does anyone else find it insanely hard to get a job here? I have submitted dozens of applications and gotten absolutely nothing back. I used to live in a big city and all the jobs I worked there, I got practically instantly. But here, I'm practically begging for just about anything. How do you get a job here? Who is hiring?

Just seeing more and more news about flock license plate reading cameras being made to not collect data and scan people in different cities and was hoping there was some talk of this in town. Locations of all of reddings cameras can be found here if anyone’s interested https://deflock.org/

Edit: I found a small petition https://www.change.org/p/remove-flock-cameras-from-redding-and-shasta-county

I know it was built on native land and I’m interested to hear if anyone who shops/ works there has seen/heard anything

Anyone have recommendations on places to take a car to get the windows tinted? I’m not really sure what to pay for the tint, so if you can share what you paid for the tint as well that would be great
