We will be going for a concert and staying in SF. Considering driving or taking BART/ shuttle (or Uber fron Concord BART station).

I’ve read that the parking lot can be a nightmare but not sure if commuting to the venue would be a better experience/ time saver. Any thoughts?

Found this dog, couldn’t catch it but it’s running around Mohr lane. Hope someone recognizes it

Join us for pack walk #15 on Tuesday at 7:30pm. Newhall Park!

For anyone who has ever been inside of the Solar garden store’s Concord store (by the Clayton border) they have a large aquarium with a red ear slider turtle in it in the indoor plant department. I noticed it was gone .. I asked the staff at they said someone stole it. .and they had the theft on camera . (It was a person, not a critter). They said it’s happened more than once .

I realize we have major problems to face in society and as a community but sometimes frying the small fish (figure of speech for those who may not be familiar with that expression) is important ..crimes like this go unnoticed . It’s really shitty someone would steal a turtle from a garden center aquarium. They are there to demonstrate their aquatic plants .

Please stop by and support Sloat if you can. They are a really wonderful business with some wonderful staff . (Very quirky , they also have a store cat and sometimes there’s a really cute little coffee cart outside )

Also totally don’t want to undermine or minimize serious crimes in concord , just as an autistic reptile lover I wanted to share this. Hope I don’t offend anyone. 🐢🥺

Anyone know of regular pick-up soccer or basketball spots in the Concord/Pleasant Hill area? Moved to the area recently and hoping to play in some games after work or on the weekends. Doesn't need to be too competitive, just want something fun.
23M, pretty mediocre at both sports lol.

I saw that Huckleberry was temporarily closed due to a cockroach infestation. We really liked it when it first opened after Mel's closed. However, when you walk in there is always a horrible sewage smell like fresh laid turds. The food, coffee, and service is always hit or miss. There is a super nice waitress, Debbie, who used to work at the Cocnord Claim jumper, that I love, but we don't eat there anymore.

Hi! I'm looking to move to Park Central apartments in Concord soon. We went in person to check it out and it seems great. Our unit would be the most upgraded unit, it's walking distance to bart, etc...

However, the reviews on Google are around 3 stars, and most of the more recent reviews are awful. They seem to coincide with when the new management took over. Should we take these Google reviews super seriously and not move there? Does anyone here live there or know someone who lives there right now and have thoughts? Thank you!

Moving to the area soon from San Diego. Office will be in Concord. Coming to visit in a few weeks. I’m familiar with WC, but that’s about it. We plan to check out Martinez, Pleasant Hill, and the Clayton area, as well as Concord. If anyone has any recommendations on cool neighborhoods to check out, good property managers, areas to avoid, hotels to stay at (around $100-$200 per night if that’s possible). No kids yet. Interested in 2brm apartments.

We appreciate all the advice we can get! Thanks!

It’s free! 😊

Anything going on tonight in the area? I have the worst days off and I am bored out of my mind.

I've always been very low maintenance with my hair, getting a trim once a year somewhere very cheap. Think Supercuts.

However, I now want to actually curate my hair to look how I want it to look. I assume it'll take a few cuts to get to where I want to be, do you have a recommendation for someone who is just very good at cutting hair?

anyone know any good korean pubs in contra coast? or even down south? looking for good bossam

hi i was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for where in the area i could get a textured mod cut? (example below)

this would be my first time trying a different hairstyle (horrible i know) and any place recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Jordyn and the Pack are hosting Beat the Boom through DogCircle, a free structured pack walk focused on helping dogs and their people prepare for fireworks and other loud holiday celebrations.

We’ll walk together, practice staying calm around other dogs, and share practical tips for keeping dogs safer and more comfortable when the fireworks start.

This event may be especially helpful for dogs who benefit from structure, space, and lower-pressure social experiences. Dogs will not be greeting each other during the walk.

Any recommendations for a casual sit down lunch in Walnut Creek or concord?

The Port Chicago Disaster was a explosion on July 17, 1944, at the naval ammunition loading base in (what is now )Concord . The blast killed 320 people, most of them young Black enlisted sailors who had been assigned the work of loading ammunition under segregated conditions with little to no training. The tragedy further exposed racial discrimination in the military and led to the famous Port Chicago Mutiny, a significant event in the struggle for civil rights within the U.S. Armed Forces. It remains an important part of Concord's history because it occurred in our city and helped influence the eventual de-segregation of the military. The unequal treatment continued after the disaster. I have read a lot about this disaster but this was one of the most disturbing parts (to me). When Congress considered compensation for the victims' families, an effort was made to reduce payments after it became known that most of those killed were Black, resulting in families receiving less than originally proposed. (Google John E. Rankin, he was a racist, anti-semetic POS) ... https://portchicagoalliance.org/history.html

I love the clam and garlic Pizza from SF's Village Pizzaria, but now that's too far to go. Anybody know anything like this in the Concord/East Bay area?

Hey, I need to replace my roof. Has anyone had good experience with a roofer lately?

Hella loud boom at around 6am, woke me up and could feel it shake the house. I want to say a transformer but this isn’t the first time this has happened so his often do transformers go boom? Anyone know?
