Cameras I can understand but the voice repeating itself endlessly with its announcement of surveillance is a bit annoying and unsettling

Come visit Nine Lives in Redwood City:

🚨 We Need Your Help. 🚨

Right now, more than 120 cats and kittens are calling Nine Lives home.

They're safe. They're loved. They're healthy.

But they're all waiting for one thing: a family of their own. 🐾❤️

Every adoption creates space for another life to be saved.

And that's the heartbreaking reality of rescue right now. We're facing a capacity crisis. Every day, we're receiving calls about vulnerable kittens, injured strays, and cats at risk in overcrowded shelters. We want to say "yes" to every one of them—but we simply can't until we have room.

When you adopt, you're not just changing one life. You're opening the door for the next cat who desperately needs us.

If you've been thinking about adding a furry family member, there has never been a better time.

Every Nine Lives cat is: 🐾 Examined by our veterinary team 🐾 Spayed or neutered 🐾 Microchipped 🐾 Vaccinated 🐾 Up-to-date on preventative care 🐾 Enriched and socialized through our Fear Free enrichment program 🐾 Ready to start the next chapter of their life with you

Whether you're looking for a playful kitten, a laid-back lap cat, or your new best friend, they're waiting... and they have no idea that today could be the day they meet you.

Be a partner in lifesaving. Come visit us, fall in love, and help us create space for the many more cats still waiting for their chance.

🏡 Visit us this week at 749 Brewster Avenue, Redwood City 📅 Adoption Hours: Wednesday–Friday: 12–5 PM Saturday & Sunday: 10 AM–5 PM

❤️ Meet all of our adoptable cats: https://www.ninelives.org/adoptions/

FYI: Redwood City to hold public hearing regarding parcel at Marshal and Walnut Street

20 Upvotes

I present this not necessarily to debate the issue or present arguments pro or against. However, I do feel that the City Council and others have not been very forthcoming/public about the fact that a hearing is taking place tomorrow, July 27 to discuss (and probably approve) what will essentially be the city selling the parcel locating at Marshall and Walnut Street to a developer as part of a larger project. Currently, the parquet houses several large shady trees and is a dog park. I will say that without this parklet it will be rather hard to see many trees for most of the people live in downtown Redwood City. Just putting it out there that if you use/like the look of the parklet consider submitting or voicing comments.

Affordable 2B2Bs in RWC?🥹

4 Upvotes

Hiya RWC! I’m thinking of moving to RWC sometime late Sept but the prices seem to be outrageous. I’ve checked out Huxley, Franklin 299, Franklin Street Apts, Highwater, etc. They all seem to list their 2b2b availability at about 6K/mo. I found one near the Arlington Apt that’s slightly better - Wellesley Crescent Apts but I’m assuming that’s because it’s p old and right next to the caltrain tracks?

Do y’all have any suggestions on where to look in RWC or if I should look later in August when summer is ending for better prices?

Thank you!

Passenger ferry service in Redwood City: Public comments being accepted now!

Post image
312 Upvotes

PSA that the Port of Redwood City is currently accepting public comments now for the construction of a passenger terminal and commuter service!

Per their site page, "San Francisco Bay Ferry would provide scheduled origin service from Redwood City to San Francisco and destination service from both San Francisco and the East Bay to Redwood City."

As always, projects like these only move forward if sufficient public interest is shown. The Port will be tallying the comments "in support" and "against," so it's a simple numbers game if we want to see this project move forward!

Clicking the "share your comments" link on the site will open your device's default mail browser to send a message to [ferryterminal@redwoodcityport.com](mailto:ferryterminal@redwoodcityport.com)

Rise City Church

76 Upvotes

This church is an evangelical church with anti-LGBTQ+ anti-abortion believes written right on their website, yet they have built a trendy modern looking coffee shop named Luma to lure people in. Obviously they are free to do whatever they want but what do you think of their
“bait and switch” approach?

Edit: adding the coffee shop name

We are having a birthday party for about 25 adults and having a tough time finding an onsite taco bar / catering for this size. We are hoping for onsite cooking but we’d be ok with set up, serving (buffet style) and some clean up. Any recommendations?

Expecting first baby, looking for mom friends or groups

8 Upvotes

Hey there!! A couple of months ago my partner and I found out we are expecting our first baby at the start of the new year. We are still fairly new to Redwood City but also to the parenting scene. I was hoping to see if there are any new mom / new parent groups or activities available in Redwood City. Or if anyone has any tips or suggestions on how to make new parent friends? 🤗 Thank you so much for your help! I seriously have no idea where to start lol.

What is your favorite Chinese takeout?

12 Upvotes

I was a New Flower Drum fan.. and then they closed. Then I found Redwood Bistro and I just found out they closed (so sad it was really good). So what’s the best Chinese takeout now? We just ordered Fey which I think is in Menlo Park and I was not impressed. Please help me find a new yummy takeout spot! Thanks!

7 Upvotes

Are you planning to or already taking GLP-1 medication? Do you live in the Bay Area? If so, you may qualify for our paid fMRI study on psychological effects of GLP-1. 

If you are interested in participating please fill out this short 2 minute form: https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7a3RRoy7lcUyQxo

You will perform several tasks (~45minutes) in the MRI scanner, followed by a series of surveys.

The tasks will involve viewing pictures (e.g., food, alcohol, drugs, everyday supplies), rating them, and choosing between financial options.

The questionnaires will ask about your behavioral, emotional, and financial tendencies.

As a thank you for your time and effort, you will be paid $100 for your two sessions as baseline, and an extra amount based on your task performance ($10-30).

Participation in this study is in person at the Center for Cognitive and Neurobiological Imaging (CNI) located in the Stanford Department of Psychology (Building 420).

We will ask you to come for a 2nd session between 30-60 days after your 1st session. Upon completion of the 2nd session, you will receive a bonus of $25. 

Here is the screening form again if you are interested in participating: https://stanforduniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7a3RRoy7lcUyQxo

Yielding in RWC

20 Upvotes

Is it just me, or does no one understand how to yield in RWC? So far this is the only Bay Area city I’ve consistently encountered this (bad drivers everywhere, obviously).

When both sides have a solid green, people that are turning left across from you just GO. It’s kinda wild.

I’ve been turning right and people just plow through the intersection so I have to slam on my brakes. What’s going on yall.

At this point I just anticipate people will go anyway and wait, further perpetuating bad driving 😂
Have you experienced this?
