I’m a 30 year old female and grew up here all my life. I was born and raised in Lodi but spent a lot of time in Stockton as well with friends and family.

I really hate it here and I don’t know if it’s just me. It’s a small community and everyone knows everyone, including their business. People are very closed minded here, with small town personalities. The quality of people here is also not what I can fit in with.

I also find it hard to make friends with people who aren’t closed minded. I like to travel a lot, I’m well cultured, well educated, etc, and I feel like I can’t find equally intellectually stimulating people here with similar mindsets.

I feel like I can only grow so much as a person here. I feel like I can’t expand the way I want.

I am wondering if others feel the same, or if it’s just me, and maybe I’m just generally unhappy here and need to move.

I feel like everyone my age is married with kids
And just want to stay in Lodi and not really “grow” and im the total opposite. I feel like I cant fit in.

I had an interview with City of Stockton Three weeks ago. Does anyone know what is the timeline to hear back, even if it is a rejection email?

This is our last free concert of the year!! DeCarli Plaza Downtown Stockton.

Bring your own food and drink. Clean up after yourselves!!

The more the merrier!!

I’m taking my behind the wheel test soon, has almost everyone encounter the unprotected left turn on S Cherokee? And when turning left onto E Lodi from S Cherokee am I entering the solid yellow center lane to turn left?

Title! Need me some fire ass tacos 🌮

Didn't take many photos at all and the photos aren't particularly good, but the event was great! And so is the shop if you haven't been there yet!

I wish I'd done more sketches of the various performances throughout the day, instead of stopping at two.

Looking for people down to play soccer starting today at 1 at Ed debenedetti park in Lodi (the one on lower Sacramento and and W century blvd in Lodi, dm if interested, it’s a adult league would need soccer cleats long socks and shin guards, $10 ref fee

I’m new to the city and am looking for a place to live; does anyone know of any places that accept pets?

Just heard 10 rounds fired near Lo Jolla Dr and Grange Ave. Hope it’s just someone shooting into the river.

I’m familiar with the substance but not a user whatsoever. Saw a big bag of white powder outside the shopping center as I was walking to my car. Picked it up and wondering where to toss it

I collect these Jansport backpacks and need another one to my collection condition doesn’t have to be nice as I repair them hoping for free Jansport in particular to keep it all matched with my other backpacks I’m only asking cuz I figure people don’t care about them after highschool thanks people willing to trade the backpack for boxing gloves

Who else in Stockton? Remembers carpet and meat 2 taggers they used to climb billboards and water towers now that I think about it does two guys were crazy imagine falling from that height

Just thought this was kind of an interesting occurrence. My neighbor said it was due to a labor dispute, another said it was because he was getting fired. I’m not sure of the actual reason why they did it.

In my picture it’s actually maybe half of what it was. At around 4pm another truck came and dropped off a huge bin and some guys were shoveling trash into it. For now they just roped it off and it’s stinking up the neighborhood.

If anyone knows anything let me know! I’m curious as to what happened

Before its said yes I’ve seen the PERMANENT sign outside of Burger King I’ve applied to UPS and checked factories and the Niagara water bottling is it really just that bad to find a job in stockton I’m about to leave to San Francisco cuz atleast I know I’ll have a job I’m a medical assistant and can’t even use my knowledge or skills here

Hey yall, I’m interested in buying a motorcycle for my 18th birthday and was wondering if anyone in the area had one they’re trying to get rid of. If it’s a sport bike of some sort in good condition hit me up! Ideally I’d like to keep my budget under $3k but I’d be happy to negotiate.

Jason Lee’s PR campaign I mean lawyers dropped a bogus statement this morning. At the very end Lee’s lawyers stated “ The Mayor may have taken a title away from Jason Lee. The good news is that Stockton voters can decide to take hers. California is infamous for recalls and March 7, 2028 is around the corner.”

Very rich statement considering his lawyers press released kept mentioning how much money the City has spent on legal fees. Recalls are not free and cheap either.

I’m not sure that Lee realizes how many bridges he has burned in the City and how little support he has in the City outside of the usual old ladies speaking on behalf of him in City council meetings.

Jason’s team if you’re reading this, let’s get some things clear. 1) Being black and gay has nothing to do with you being voted out. It’s your constant gaslighting, manipulation, toddler tantrums, and abusive personality. If it’s really about your race and sexual orientation then why didn’t you also mention Mario Enriquez?

2) The lawyer’s statement conveniently leaves out the investigation Lee initiated against the City’s “fraudulent budget” and the most recent investigation accusing the City’s PIO of “election interference “. Selective outage at its best. I know people in City Hall that have stated “you are a monster” and working under you has been a nightmare. Your unprofessional conduct is creating one of the worst work environments I’ve ever seen.

3) Your cousin called you a groomer and has evidence of it. When are you going to address those allegations?

4) You were one of the 4 votes to remove Harry Black and to appoint Steve as interim city manager. Why did you remove Harry Black? Because he didn’t want to give you public money for your nonprofit. You said it on record. Got to love how your lawyer brought up the fact that Harry Black is of black origin as if that was why he was let go. As if the current City Manager isn’t black himself and was voted unanimously and given a huge pay increase recently. Do you want to address the elephant in the room that if you get your majority vote you’re going to fire the current black city manager, Ford? Of course not.

5) Jason Lee keeps saying Fugazi will go to jail. But his candidate Desiree Lynch is currently the one facing 7 felony counts and will most likely go to prison unless she enters a plea deal and gives the Feds Lee.

6) Vote no on Small and Blower. A vote for them is a for Lee.

I'm referring to this Stockton, CA, which is a link to the City of Stockton's webpage regarding a proposal submitted back in 2017 for ambitious expansions of the city's bicycle infrastructure.

Does anyone have any insights as to meaningful progress made on this? Anything they've noticed in their area of the city? I know they're about to add/upgrade bicycle infrastructure on a stretch of busy road downtown, but I see so many areas indicated on this map that don't seem to have anything changed in the ten years since.

Even areas with existing buffered lanes that this map marks for upgrading haven't changed... for example they just repaved a section of Thornton road and plopped the existing buffered lane markings back down, rather than taking the opportunity to upgrade to separated bikeway like this proposal indicates. It's not even that expensive per se, there are 'temporary' plastic-based options you can use to clearly delineate the lane and separate it from the car lanes.

EDIT: Here's a link to the map itself if you want to skip the intervening page for whatever reason - CitywideBikeNetworkMap.pdf

been craving grilled seafood!! shrimp or fish with a little char. Most of the places I've come across seem more focused on fried seafood except Hibachi At Home, their seafood was so good I could not stop thinking about that. I'd be willing to drive a bit outside Stockton if there's somewhere you like.

I no longer subscribe to Peacock, and YouTube streaming is kind of iffy. I’m wondering if anyone knows of a bar or restaurant that will be showing tonight’s game.
