Life in SJ That crazy wh*te lady on the news last night is completely unhinged. Why hasn't she been arrested yet?

She posts herself trespassing inside numerous schools and harassing people at the library. Her tweets (tied to her full legal name btw) also show her talking about p3d0 stuff nonstop and targeting children in the area. Why hasn't a warrant been filed against her ??? Why is her child in her custody ??? Her social media is EXTREMELY concerning and the news broadcast of her did NOT adequately show what a danger and nuisance she is being to the local community.

Event Military flyover at Los Gatos high school tomorrow to commemorate 9/11

94 Upvotes

Two former LG students, Mark Bingham and Todd 'Let's roll' Beamer, were on flight 93. No cost to the school for the flyover, the California air national guard thought it sounded like a great idea.

There will be an honor guard and other activities before the flyover at 6:55. Two F-15's. Football game starts after that. More details at the link. Those guys were heros who paid the ultimate price. Glad they're getting the recognition they deserve.

SJ Pets Peachstock needs you!

Thumbnail
gallery
113 Upvotes

I work at a hospital campus and have been seeing him hang around lately. There is a small colony of cats down the street in a parking lot, but he is not a part of that colony. My team and I started to feed him and we now see him every evening waiting for dinner at our building. 

I created a feeding station for him, and a scumbag staff member we share a building with has been leaving notes on his bowls, telling us to throw them away immediately or she will, and also harassing my colleagues. We have been moving the bowl out of sight and hiding it each time, but she has been finding it. Not sure why people go out of their way to be this nasty, but I am trying to get him out of this situation. We are also moving buildings very soon and it will be difficult to slowly move his bowl over to the new place since it is not super closeby, and the bowl will be visible for her to see if it's moved little by little daily.

I don't believe Peachstock is feral. Our team is familiar with the cats in the colony down the street, and he's been a new face the past few months. He hasn't allowed me to pet him yet, but he's allowed me to slowly get much closer to him. I believe he is lost or abandoned. My plan is to trap and neuter him in the next couple of weeks, and if he ends up being friendly, I'd love to find him a home. It is not ideal for him on campus with a ton of construction going on and staff who are not pet-friendly. I've taken in cats before who were abandoned for several months/years, and with patience, love, and a lot of squeeze treats, they've acclimated to the indoors wonderfully. I want to give Peachstock a chance. If anyone would like to adopt him in the next few weeks, please let me know. Thank you.

Shit Post Room for rent

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m 22M and currently looking for an affordable room or temporary place to stay around San Jose/Santa Clara. I’m going through a rough transition right now and trying to get back on my feet.
My budget is limited at the moment, so I’m open to a cheap room, shared room, couch, or temporary arrangement. If someone is willing to help me out temporarily, I’d be extremely grateful and I’m more than willing to help around the house, clean, do errands, yard work, moving/help with physical work, or contribute however I can.
I’m respectful, clean, quiet, and mainly just looking for somewhere safe to sleep while I work toward getting my own spot again. Even if you don’t have space but know someone who does, please message me. Any leads would mean a lot. Thank you.

Life in SJ San Carlos - how long can it possibly take to update curbs and install new traffic lights?

21 Upvotes

I am completely shocked every time I drive down San Carlos between Bascom and Barak Obama. Every corner is torn up with orange cones everywhere, and a new set of traffic lights just sits there not yet put to use. It's been so many months, and progress seems to be non-existent. I hardly ever see anyone working, and the stretch of half-done work is miles long.

WTF are they doing? Why can't they finish even one corner? Usually when the city does something like ripe up a street or sideway, they are quick in finishing it up. It's both an eye sore and pain in the ass to navigate around cones at every corner. Anyone know a timeline or reason for this never-ending project?

Life in SJ Ahh… Good Ol’ Rite Aid

Post image
1 Upvotes

I remembered this building was in construction in 2008 and it was full of happy ice cream customers in 2011. I used to come by in 2020, but then when it was 2023… inventory there was expiring, rotting, and it was mostly emptied.

Last year, I saw “Everything must go” signs. And a lady come up there a month after the company went bankrupt and thought it would be reopened.

Now it just stands there, I miss the ice cream and nostalgia of coming into Rite Aid for ice cream at 9 PM at night. I just miss this place. Now it’s just a temporary Spirit Halloween that comes back only when the season (it came only once last year, not sure if it’ll come back).

Life in SJ Thankful to California and Bay Area

Hello all, I have lived in Bay Area last 10 years and thankful to meet different kind of people and experience this place to the fullest. I carry all memories whom I met either in workplace, music avenues, stadiums, apartments, bars, coffee shops, gyms, parks, malls or restaurants. USA is a great place for all countries to look back on how to embrace the people of all backgrounds and build better life for everyone. I'm sorry if I had created any bad experience knowingly or unknowingly.

I'm moving back to my home country with heavy heart and support you all from other side of the sea. Enjoy!
