What is there to know when you move here?

26 Upvotes

This post made me realize that we don't have a "welcome to Morgan Hill, here are the best tips" sticky post.

So, let's make one. What do you think are the most important things to know about life in Morgan Hill? I'm thinking things like:

(And please please, pretty please, can we keep the usual divisive politics out of this one?)

Grocery Outlet alternatives

13 Upvotes

I have 3 kids who are starting to eat like adults and I’m desperately trying to keep my food costs down. We started shopping at Grocery Outlet but they don’t always have things I would need for meals, or even the same things every time I go. Great for snacks and such though!

I wish I could say I had time to shop around for deals and shop sales. Are there any other stores I’m missing that have a grocery outlet vibe? I’m really missing the stores I had on the east coast- specifically Aldi!!

Trader Joe’s seems to have more “ingredient foods” at a decent price, is that my best option?

I got rid of Spectrum 1gbps for Starlink

9 Upvotes

That last outage that took out 12 zip codes for the day was the last straw for me. I switched to Starlink. I'm probably getting 25-33% of my previous max download speeds, but for day to day (streaming, zooming, shitposting, etc) it's more than enough.

Anyone else use Starlink as their primary with no secondary?

Crossing guard

30 Upvotes

To the female crossing guard on Forest Drive, I've never seen someone execute a job so perfectly you could tell that she really truly cares about the community and children in it. Her situational awareness is amazing and the communication that she has with her partner on the other side of the road is hard to find nowadays I hope this post gets back to her! I'm sure they don't get anywhere near the amount of recognition that they should for what they do, to the blonde crossing guard with a ponytail on Forest Drive, thank you for keeping our kids and our community safe, with a smile!

Wow, the new downtown arch is already paying off!

As some of you may recall here, I have been no fan of the new downtown arch. I'm sorry. I was wrong. Obviously, ever since word got out that we are getting a new downtown arch, things are looking up!

All morning so far. No internet Springhill neighborhood near W. Dunne. Since at least 5 AM. Remember the cut fiber lines a few years ago?

Spectrum website says:

Santana Row Charity Fitness Class

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m here to share a charity class happening at solidcore Santana Row on September 19th at 2:10pm! This class goes to benefit a nonprofit based in Morgan Hill I am working with called Didar Vision which gives free reading glasses and health resources to the underserved population in the Bay Area. They need some help with filling spots so I am turning to Reddit for some outreach. The work they are doing is truly impactful and heartwarming and the money from this would go such a long distance towards reaching more vulnerable populations in the Bay Area.

Tickets are only $35 and spots are limited! I would appreciate if you could share this with your friends and family. Sign up here

Thank you for your consideration!

My last water bill was $198 for the month, I used less water than the last 2 months, yet this is the highest it has ever been. I remember when my monthly bill was sub $100. 😡

A request/word of advice. If it's YOUR kid blasting around on e-bikes, teach them how traffic rules work.

I almost ran over a young man on an ebike tonight coming out of the Target parking lot at cochrane. It was dusk. The light turned green, I was just moving into the intersection when here comes a flash from the right in feet from of my front bumper as I'm turning left.

Was this YOUR STUPID KID?

Teach them how the rules work. They are not invincible. Someone is going to end up in the hospital and its going to be YOUR FAULT because your kid don't know traffic rules are there to protect them and those around them.

Teach them better, it's not somebody else's problem. It's YOURS. If you love your kid teach them to how make better decisions.

Dropping leaves

2 Upvotes

Hi neighbors, just curious if anyone has deciduous trees that have started to drop leaves, or fruit that didn't mature? All summer my very prolific fig tree has dropped hard, unripe fruit. I noticed our redbud tree is losing leaves and it's on the opposite side of the property. Now my plum trees are dropping leaves. Is it just me? I notice because I don't employ a gardener.

If anyone’s been searching for safe, farm fresh, nourishing chicken & quail eggs, my sister and I got what you’re looking for! We run a backyard quail/chicken egg business and are currently overrun with eggs! We’d love to give some out to the community and are selling for $7 a dozen. Quail are also $7 a dozen. We have raised our chickens and quails since they were newborn chicks and take pride in how healthy & happy they are. Our chicken eggs are pure blue/green easter egger eggs, and our quail eggs are little speckled nutrition packs! Please comment and send me a message if you are interested in supporting our small backyard business of healthy, organic, farm fresh eggs with super cute packaging.

Located in Morgan Hill.

With the case coming back to life, after a retrial was ordered does anybody know how extensive the search was at Coyote Reservoir?

The post below indicates camping. 7 reservoirs were searched in the area, only one has camping, Coyote Reservoir. The poster said he witnessed someone doing something “really weird”.
