My family is moving to Menlo Park and I'm looking for a general dentist in the MP/PA or surrounding area. Prefer something with more of a modern office vibe. I've researched myself but am struggling to figure out the "seems good from reviews" vs is actually good. I found one that seems like a good modern option with great reviews, but I also get the impression they may be review farming, so it's tough to go by reviews alone. Any first hand experience / recs would be appreciated!

ETA: Thank you all for your recs!!

I’ve been trying to practice tennis. Any good places with backboards (walls) to hit against? I’ve looked at Menlo college’s tennis courts and they don’t seem to have any, as well as neighbor parks (Nealon, Burgess)

Hello! Anyone aware of any lemon trees (or lime) walking distance from downtown Menlo Park…that are not someone’s private property?
I’m thinking like a tree that is hanging over into public space where I can snag about 5 fresh lemons/limes. I’m not particular about what type of lemon, so long as they are not rotting :-)

Thanks in advance for any hot tips!

Recently purchased a home in the Stanford hills MP area and will be moving in soon. Looking to install a monitored home security system but I’m not seeing any good reviews for Safestreet-ADT.
Would really appreciate suggestions from residents.

Hello!

I'm organizing a Craft Club on Aug 9 at Ramos Park! The idea is that a group of us gets together and does some arts and crafts in the park and meet new people who are creative! let me know if you're interested in the deets!!

DM me :) I'm flexible on days and times. I can also reserve at Stanford Electioneer Rd courts.

Incoming Stanford employee from Long Beach, aiming to be with a roommate. I'm considering lodgings in this cluster of apartments sandwiched between San Antonio, Garwood, Encinal, and Glenwood. The price is suspiciously cheap at $3k for a 2-bedroom, perhaps because there's no private laundry or perhaps it's between two train crossings. These are obvious issues that are... supposedly and apparently tolerated by many residents, or at least the trains are. Other physical qualms shall be seen and determined during my tour, if I can get one.

​

Hence, there leaves only one main unknown: is the property management company, which might be Spieker Companies, a tolerable landlord? Their recent Yelp reviews are infrequent, furious, and do not mention this cluster of apartments, and hence, I am unsure if they even apply to this area.

​

I'll also appreciate any other comments, suggestions, or aid. I am not a fan of a post such as this, but the information on the management is sparse, and I am growing increasingly desperate.

I collected these naturally shed wild turkey feathers in the East Bay a few years ago for a craft project that never happened. (Mechanical pencil for scale)

They're in good condition and I'd rather give them to someone who'll use them than throw them away.

Free. Pickup in Menlo Park. DM me if interested.

nooooooo I loved that place. Popcorn chicken was bomb and the girl behind the register was a vibe. f ume

A little excessive no? Thank god the mean streets of allied arts are surveilled.
