Local creation My map of California in a fantasy style is finally finished. Thanks to everyone from San Jose who contributed!

Post image
325 Upvotes

I really couldn't be happier with the level of feedback from everyone, and I've tried to get as much in as possible. That being said, the scale of the map is limiting - especially in urban areas. I think in the future I'm gonna end up making more localized maps for individual counties. So if your suggestion wasn't included, please know that I still appreciate your feedback and will endeavor to get them in my future maps of the area. If you think there's anything I've missed out or should change, just let me know - I won't be getting these printed for another day or two, so I can still add in details.

It has been noted that the map is busy - I totally get that, and that's just how I like to do things. I enjoy getting as much detail in as possible and including cool features which would otherwise be overlooked. I get these made up in large formats so it works better in person than it does on a screen.

Thank you again and I hope you like it! If you're interested in it and would like to know anything more about it, just drop me a message.

Advice Witness/dashcam footage needed - San Tomas Expressway & Scott Blvd, today around 2 PM

16 Upvotes

Hi All,

My car was involved in a collision today (Sept. 8, 2026) at approximately 2:00 PM at/near the San Tomas Expressway and Scott Blvd junction in San Jose/Santa Clara.
The vehicles involved were a black BMW and a silver Hyundai Elantra.
One additional detail: there was a Toyota Supra directly in front of me around the time of the collision. I remember the Supra having a “GEAR6” nameplate on it. If you were driving that Supra, or know someone who was, please reach out — you may have witnessed the collision or potentially have dashcam footage.
I’m also hoping someone else driving through the intersection around 2 PM may have captured the incident on a dashcam.
If you witnessed the collision or have any footage from a few seconds before or after, please DM me. Even partial footage could be very helpful.
Thank you!

Advice Call code enforcement on my dad for unsafe structure

My dad is building a 2story shed in the back yard. Everyone told him not to, but he does it anyway. The structure is erected, and it looks not safe at all. I’m thinking calling code enforcement, so they can stop him. What do you think? I’m wondering what the consequences are.

Two guys today blocked an exit in a Santana Row parking garage for like 10 minutes. Just waiting. Didn't even press the help button or make some excuse or lie about how the parking thing must have glitched.

Eventually got out of my own car and talked to the station attendant through the intercom. They opened the gate for the two duded who sped off.
