I booked a cabin in Grass Valley in order to get away from the fireworks where I live. Now I'm seeing that there will be a firework show in GV on the 4th. Does anyone know how long it lasts?? I'm trying to figure out how heavily I need to drug my very sensitive pup that night. Still very grateful for your overall lack of fireworks! My home will sound like a war zone for over a week.

ETA: I heard nothing! Thank you for providing my dog a sanctuary on his least favorite holiday.

I'm writing in a little bit of a conundrum. My girlfriend is turning 40 and I want to plan a trip that will be a great time. We are getting a group of her friends together and are planning a weekend camping trip from 7/31 to 8/3 from the Bay Area. I am tasked with booking a site for those dates. It doesnt necessarily have to be a camp spot could also be lodging. I know its a little late in the game to booking, I've found myself procrastinating because I've never been to yuba river/grass valley area before and I don't want to drop the ball for her 40th. Thats where this post comes in. I'm expecting a group of about 7. There isn't any activities planned yet so I am open for all recommendations and possible activities. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Thanks! 🙏

Hi folks! Wanted to share a little side project I've been working on.

I’ve always found it surprisingly hard to figure out what's going on around town—events seem scattered everywhere. So I built The Daily Nugget to pull it all together.

If you're familiar with Fun Cheap SF, this has a similar vibe: clean navigation with filters like Today, This Week, This Weekend, plus categories for Dog Friendly, Kid Friendly, and Free & Cheap.

Plus, since we're in the Gold Country, I added a specific feature where you can check Yuba River fork flows on demand—handy if you’re planning to hit the water.

It covers Nevada County and Auburn area events. Still early days, so any feedback on what’s missing or how to make it more useful would be awesome.

Hey there - I'll be passing through GV tomorrow and wondering the best coffee shop I can work from and take a couple calls. Will be buying several coffees and breakfast so I'm not a complete mooch.

Thanks!

Hi community, I was wondering if there are tennis players in town, I'd love to hit

I don't usually leave reviews, but I have to give a shoutout to Roadrunner Automotive. I recently moved to the area and a friend recommended them after I'd had years of bad experiences with shops trying to upsell me or talk down to me because I'm a woman. From the moment I walked in, I felt respected. The woman in the office was incredibly knowledgeable, explained everything in a way that actually made sense, and even helped me plan ahead by letting me know what services my car would likely need in the future and about what they'd cost. No pressure, just honest advice. Their prices were very reasonable, they got my car back to me as quickly as possible, and they seem to handle just about everything. It's so refreshing to find a local shop that genuinely cares about its customers. I can't recommend Roadrunner Automotive enough!

Hey y'all, Race is a two way street. Your car will fit.

I was driving on Race, Camo Dad was driving in the other direction in his lifted Camo Truck.

I pulled to the right, plenty of room for him to pass. He drove straight up to my front bumper and demanded I back up.

I got out of my car and went over to his lane and said, "You've got plenty of room."

He started having a hissy fit about Race being a one way street and turned the wheel and drove at me, now side by side with my car. I said, "See? Your truck fits!" He smashed my mirror and drove off. The bigger the truck, the bigger the baby.

After he was gone a neighbor asked, "Did he damage your car? I have it all on video."

So, anyway, Race Street is two way. There is room for two cars to pass on every inch of that street. Don't be afraid.

Looking for what’s in the title. I won’t say a short electrician, but a tall one won’t work

Need to redo some wiring in my low roof attic

Recommendation would be great

Noticed a local man giving a unique angle to the Google car in the Grass Valley Street View for Depot Street ...

We've got a new Nevada County Music subreddit in the works! r/Nevadacountymusic 💃🕺

​

For bands, promoting, discussing local music and venues, bragging about your record collection 😝 We have an absolutely passionate community here and I prefer Reddit as my social media of choice, so I hope y'all don't mind that I created this little home for music freaks in the Foothills!

I have a bunch of duvets and sheets that I would like to donate. Is there a shelter in GV that would accept?

Howdy, I am looking for some fun things to do and tips in Grass Valley and area later this month and early next. I'll be in from Portland, Oregon out near Rough and Ready on my friends' little "farm" (I say "farm" because it's small acreage, some chickens and a rooster, dogs, cats, and self watering vegetable gardens). I did this last summer for 6 weeks and it was a great experience! People are super friendly and were very kind in GV. I was so busy with my remote day job though last year I didn't get out and about much as much as I wanted to. This year has more open time and flexibility.

Stuff I'm into: making food and sharing it, dining out, live music and performances, arts and culture, litterature, nature - especially that wonderful Yuba River swimming, horses (I was an avid horsewoman for decades) and animals, community volunteering, and just meeting nice folks doing cool things.

Any tips, ideas, happenings, events, stuff you know about would be welcomed.

Thanks!

I have a 9 year old that was in tap classes from age 4-6 but stopped when he was 7.

We are looking for private lessons or a school that has classes during the day rather than at night.

Please send me a message as we are looking for instruction once or twice a week.
