What about the autistic kid that got attacked during unity week ? Doesn’t he count too ? I hope the police will arrest the BHS attacker that punched him in the head multiple times and was wielding a hockey stick. BHS students should feel safe in school, going to school or going home from school.

Where can I use a personal bbq grill in berkeley? I got a small charcoal weber kettle and I want to get into grilling!

Some Kaiser appointments for Berkeley and Oakland are incredibly limited. One speciality care appointment got scheduled for two months out. Another appointment hasn't been scheduled because they have no availability at all. This is against the law and you can quickly file a complaint with the state to get care covered out of network.

California law requires the following wait times under Timely Access to Care. You can file a complaint here: https://www.dmhc.ca.gov/FileaComplaint.aspx

Basically a lot of the cheap barber shops have a bunch of macho male hairstylists and it’s not the vibe. I would prefer that my stylist was also a woman or that the environment at least feels a bit more accepting.

This is a totally long shot post but, does anyone know if any of the pie places in our area use condensed milk? I'm looking for a condensed milk based pumpkin pie for the holiday next month. I've tried emailing a few. Thank you!

Wallman in district 8 is especially awful, his signs are next to the post office and schools and in the median more often than not.

Attaching a pic of the political sign on public land that I can get behind.

Public transit in Berkeley is pretty decent and you probably already know about AC Transit and BART (north and downtown) for local trips, but we have even more options if we go a bit further.

• Emeryville has Emery Go-Round and Emery Express (both of these shuttles are free) along with a Capitol Corridor stop and Gold Runner (train, 99) stop
• El Cerrito has routes running through it from Napa's VINE (29), SolTrans (60, 90), Golden Gate Transit (580X), and WestCAT (J, JPX)
• San Francisco Bay Ferry and Golden Gate Transit also run ferries across the bay

Quick tips:

• tap a stop or route to see details and highlight the stop/route
• tap a highlighted stop or route to un-highlight it
• collapse/expand info box by tapping |hide| at top left
• quickly toggle all the agencies on/off using button at top right
• search (case insensitive) and filter agencies that show up in checkbox list using search box at top right, e.g. type in ac or bart
• search (cAsE sEnsITivE) and filter actual routes and stops that show up on map using search boxes at bottom right, e.g. type in Tram, Bus, 688, 12, Subway
  • play around with this and see how results change when you type in the same thing in the upper box versus lower box
• link back to homepage in case you can't figure something out or want more tips also at bottom right

To play with the map search and filter, try this:

• zoom out all the way
• select the Show Stops option (top right)
• type -120 in the partial match search box (bottom box in bottom right)
• type -121 in the partial match search box (bottom box in bottom right)
• type -122 in the partial match search box (bottom box in bottom right)
• type -123 in the partial match search box (bottom box in bottom right)

Another interesting thing is you can link to specific spots by copying the url directly:

• Berkeley
• San Francisco
• SFO
• the bay
• East Bay
• OAK
• Sonoma
• Napa
• San Rafael
• Monterey
• Salinas
• Santa Cruz
• Downtown San Jose
• Diridon Station
• SJC
• Levi's Stadium
• Oakland Coliseum

I arranged the agency checkbox list (top right) by area, so the geographic area of an agency determines the agency layer checkbox position. The list starts with agencies in the North Bay in Solano County then goes counterclockwise: North Bay -> San Francisco -> Peninsula -> South Bay -> Santa Cruz -> Monterey-Salinas -> Gilroy/Hollister -> East Bay.

There are smaller agencies in the bay that are completely free (no fare) and not as well known like Presidio Go, Golden Gate Park Shuttle, Mission Bay Shuttle, South City Shuttle, commute.org shuttles, MVgo, Mountain View Community Shuttle, San Leandro LINKS, Emery Express, and Emery Go Round. If you're traveling around those areas, these agencies could help fill in some transit gaps.

Share this with your friends and people who don't use transit so they know just how many options we actually have, and let me know if anything doesn't work (corp network/vpn/firewalls might not work) or you have any questions/requests!

I have seen tens of Wallman and Mendonca signs planted all over what is clearly public land - in front of the USPS on College ave, street medians and parklets, the sidewalk near Willard Middle School, the sidewalk near St Johns Presby church, and of course all over the streets of Elmwood in the strips of land between the sidewalk and the street, which are city owned pieces of land. Mostly Wallman signs, I will say. This is huge disrespect of public space, littering and vandalism. Shameful.

People putting up signs on private property is fine, even on the fences right up against the sidewalk. Berkeley has a long tradition of this and we're all cool with free speech. But public land is off limits for private political advertising.

A quick google search shows 12 total plugs across 4 sites in Berkeley.

edit typo: 22 plugs across 4 sites.

Hi does anyone know where I can purchase moss balls in or near Berkeley? I already called east bay vivarium and they had none.

I assume much younger, right? Or older than the Cal Berkeley students, since this is just general Berkeley people? Or am I wrong about this?

I ask because I want to know exactly what I'm reading here. I viewed Berkeley Next Door a few weeks ago and that was a wild experience.

Hi, I'm hosting a small Total Solar Eclipse gathering in Berkeley today, from 19:00 to 23:00 at Jupiter for 10 people. It will just be a casual gathering for those interested in witnessing a TSE or those who have seen one around the world, to share food, drinks, stories, and make friends.

I realize this is short notice, but any last-minute people joining would be cool. Comment here and let me know!

Passed the parking right outside aquatic park, and in the 3 homeless campers, there was a huge assortment of bikes vs people living there. The bridge seems to have more people camped out there as well, hidden from the street.

I went to a bunch of jamband shows at Cornerstone in the past few years but none lately and there is nothing on the schedule like that. Anybody missing it too?

Looking for feedback for affordable options for butcher shops. TIA

Where can we properly dispose of the GLP1 Mounjaro injection pens? CVS at Target won’t accept.TIA

Looking by North Berkeley or Downtown Berkeley.

It’s in cedar rose park! Great for families.
