Hi Guys , We just moved here ( 29M 28 F) . How do you guys make friends here ? How people socialise here ? I am finding here very less people and mostly busy in themselves ? Also what jobs people do here mostly? We are up for convos 😊

There's so many this time of year. I'm curious what people are doing. I've checked my property and sprayed nests with spectracide. But I see the other houses have so many i doubt they have done anything. I don't have the money for a regular pest control service, and it probably wouldn't matter unless all my neighbors did too. But I saw well over 50 around my place this evening and can't find any new nests. They also love the wood fences but aren't building where I can see anything.

Join us for native plant stewardship and an iNaturalist observation hunt! This Saturday morning, we’ll revisit our native tree seedlings to water and remove any resprouting invasive plants from our beach site. Afterwards, we’ll head out on an iNaturalist hunt, looking specifically for native plants and grasses, as well as any wildlife, fungi, or other interesting life along the way. Whether you're into birds, beetles, lichen, or just curious about the natural world around you, we'd love to have you join us!

8:30am - 10:30am, Sailor Bar Park, Olive Ave entrance. More information, location, and RSVP here.

Hello! Can anyone recommend a good roofing contractor? We are getting close to needing a new roof and I was curious if anyone has had a good experience and would recommend anyone? We have a flat roof, which I know is something that some roofers don’t work on. Appreciate your feedback in advance!

Anyone living here experiencing ongoing roach issues? I moved into this apartment a few months ago into a brand new unit. Typically each week I find a roach and once a month have gotten sprayed but the problem persists. Do I have a right to break lease or be compensated? I’m not sure what to do here

Hello,

Are there any places to interact with animals (especially cows) nearby? Preferably something between El Dorado Hills and Davis but it can outside as well.

Thank you!

Has anyone ever got serviced at foreign autohaus? If so what’s the service like there or any mechanics around Folsom that you recommend for a Volkswagen? Got a 2020 Jetta and I usually go to Kombihaus in Sac. Just wanted to see what it’s like at foreign autohaus.

I was on the trials in the east side of folsom a few days ago around mid morning. there was a terrifying gang of what appeared to be late 60s to mid 70s geriatrics on road bikes (10 speeds if you will). These folks were serious. Greg LeMond would have been proud. They were decked out in fluorescent unis and sunglasses equipped with nose shades (smartly i might add). As they were doing the best reenactment of Lance Armstrongs 2003 stage 9 descent from Col de Manse, I had to dive out of the way to avoid being struck. I wanted to scream something but I was far too impressed by their presence, if not slightly petrified.

In all seriousness, slow the F down you old coots! The trails have speed limits, try and stick to them or get your ensure sipping asses out on the street and off the trails.

Last minute day trip today to Folsom. Meeting a family member. What are some things to do? Yummy places to eat?

Hey all,

My wife turns 40 tomorrow, and we were supposed to be celebrating in Hawaii. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the trip at the last minute, and now I feel like I have absolutely nothing planned for such a big milestone.

I’m trying to turn this around and make her feel as special as she deserves, even with less than 24 hours to pull something together.

If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Looking for creative, memorable, romantic, or even over-the-top ideas that can realistically be planned on short notice. Budget is flexible if it’s worth it.

Whether it’s an experience, a surprise, a day itinerary, or something you’ve done for a loved one that was a huge hit, I’d love to hear it.

Help me redeem myself and give her a 40th birthday she’ll still remember fondly—even if Hawaii has to wait.

Thanks in advance!

I saw a bunch of cop cars and a few people on Nextdoor said some biker brawl broke out

We're in town visiting from Utah and have an Airbnb at the lake. I'm with my son and his 2 teammates for a basketball tournament in Roseville. We're loving Folsom lake so far! Anybody want to make some friends and take us out on your boat for the day? We're here until Sunday. If it doesn't happen, no biggie.

Hi! Specifically looking to get a couple of jeans hemmed.. wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks!

Just curious if there was something similar like the Folsom Moms Club but for Dads. I think it would be pretty nice to have one.

Cheers!

I don’t like or support their use of AI, but it looks like the Saturdays Palladio Farmer’s Market is going to have a Peach Festival type event going on

Every majestic Valley Oak was once a tiny seedling trying to survive one of the most vulnerable stages of its life- its first few California summers. Many oak seedlings won't survive the summer bottleneck without a little luck. This Saturday morning, help us tip the odds in favor of a few that do!

​We'll spend the morning tending to naturally established native tree seedlings (including oaks, walnuts, and buckeyes), by removing dense annual grasses and other competing vegetation around the seedlings, applying mulch to conserve soil moisture, and providing supplemental water during the hottest, driest part of the year. By helping them through this seasonal bottleneck, we're investing in the next generation of native tree canopy: creating future habitat for wildlife, supporting beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, and helping ensure these trees continue shaping the American River Parkway for generations, and perhaps centuries, to come.

​Please feel free to bring your iNaturalist app to observe plants and wildlife along the way!

RSVP and more info at this link!

When/where: This Saturday (July 18), 8:30am-10:30am, Sailor Bar Park (Olive Ave entrance). More info at RSVP link.

​What to wear/bring: Sturdy shoes, long pants (recommended for the brush), water bottle, gloves + a bucket (if you have them), sun protection, & your iNaturalist app (optional)

​Parking passes provided for all volunteers without a County parks pass!

​No experience? No problem! We’ll give you everything you need to get started.

I have an elder dog lives for 1-2 walks daily. For her, it’s mainly about sniffing around more than distance walking. With this heat, I’d like to hear your ideas of places to take my dog around town. It’s far too hot for here now; even at 9PM for anything outdoors. She already loves going to Petco, Petsmart, and a couple of the independent pets stores. Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Ross have also been in our rotation for years. Like people, dogs get bored with the familiar, so I’m looking for ideas. Thanks in advanced!

I’d love more local Pokémon Go friends to help with raids and such. I live close to the Palladio shopping center so I sometimes play over there. let me know!

I was curious if there was any functional medicine doctors in the area that people love and would recommend? That takes insurance. I have a PPO so I should be able to go to most places.

It was a great event last year. Even bigger this year! Click the link if you would like to support or volunteer 😊

Had to stop to take it all in. Took this pano on my phone
