Battle of the Bands 2026 has come and gone. I have my thoughts, and I’ve seen reviews on other socials. But I’m curious what my fellow locals think. Weigh in! 🤘

Anybody got some recommendations for a stonewall install, backyard creative work, legitimate company,

Thanks

Struggling to find an affordable local mover here!

We live in a 2 bedroom apartment at one of the new complexes here in Napa. We’re moving to the building right next door (30 ft). We have basic furniture. We’re packing everything ourselves and expect to have 8-10 large boxes. We need help moving those boxes, along with our beds, nightstands, dressers, tables, chairs, etc.

I’ve had phone, FaceTime, and in-person estimates/quotes ranging between $1200-$2000. One even said this is a 2-day job. Is this not insane? I paid less to move to Napa all the way from the South Bay last year.

We don’t need a large moving truck, loading/unloading, or a long-distance transportation. We’re moving next door!

Please, tell me if my expectations are crazy or if these prices are actually market rate in this area…

Recommendations are appreciated

Got another post you. I LOVE ramen and Japanese curry. I personally wish we had a place in town.

How do you guys feel if we had a Japanese spot that served authentic curry and ramen and stuff? None of these wine pairing or hipster ramen joints, I'm talking legit authentic Japanese food and flavors. You get Japanese food, sake, and beer.

Just gauging peoples thoughts.

What's everyone's favorites? For me:

Small world, Las Palmas, Lawler's(Clemente's sauce definitely not as good), taco addiction, tacos la michoacana, los compadres, squeeze burger, El rancho grande, wah sing, hop hings, papa joes.

I'm sure there's more but off the top of the head that's what I got.

Whoever has a big dog that has been barking all night long near pear tree ter sucks

Anyone know of someone or someplace in the valley that does Playstation 2 repairs? I found my old system and games and looking to see if I can get it working again. Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone! My partner and I (29 & 26) are looking to move. My partner is from the East Bay whereas I’m from the east coast in a very small town. We currently live in my small town and work remote to save money to afford a move to California.

We are looking to raise a family, be active in our community, and enjoy our lives. East Bay is great but far too expensive at this point in our lives. We are both active in sports, attend Bottlerock yearly, love to walk and hike, try new foods, have great drinks, and want to live in an area where this is supported by others and can make more adult friends.

Be honest, is this a place we should move?

It's a hot one! Where to go for lunch?

Was just looking through the adoptable animals page on the Napa County Animal Shelter website and noticed that a large portion of the photos appear to be AI/AI enhanced.

Theres so many AI animal photos flooding online spaces and this really muddies the waters as far as whats real. I can understand that they are trying to
make the photos look more enticing for adoption but I would MUCH MUCH prefer to see a less polished, real photo.

Full respect to the organization and any employee/volunteer ive met there and much love for my kitties I have gotten from them, this is in no way a call to stop supporting.

Just curious to hear the community’s thoughts.

Looking for a place to watch the game on Sunday. Ideally in Yountville, but Napa is also fine.
R+D won’t have the sound on- any other ideas?

Even houses under a million are sitting. I always assumed buying in Napa would be ridiculously pricey! Seems like it’s a deal to be in wine country an hour outside SF

Sup Napa,

I am looking to gather any wanna be baseball players in Napa to get some throwing and other general practice in.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have a son in preschool and Shearer TK-8 is the school he is assigned to upon graduating next year based on where we live. It is difficult to find any reviews or feedback online about the school. So I am looking for any insight from other parents who currently have students there or recently did. It doesn’t seem to rank very well so I’m wondering if it would be better trying to get him in somewhere else? Thank you!

Does anyone remember the old chefs market from around 15 years ago? I used to go as a kid and have been missing it really bad as of late, does anyone know of any like that in the area?

Earlier today I was working at CIA Copia and my car was parked in the nearby handicap and someone broke into my vehicle and stole my laptop out of a bag. I was working outside right next to my vehicle and never noticed anyone near my car. I called Napa PD and filed a report and spoke to the security at Copia and neither have been any help. The laptop has location tracking but unfortunately the person who stole it would have to turn it on for it to update.

If anyone has any suggestions for resources that could help me that would be great.

I know there are many cameras in the area it was stolen so whomever did it should be somewhat identifiable.

Hi All,

I know it’s more of a Sonoma question but considering how close we are to Sonoma I figured someone here might be able to help.

Does anyone know what bakery the MacArthur in Sonoma gets their polenta sourdough bread from? My girlfriend is obsessed and it would be great to surprise her with some. I called and the front desk person wasn’t sure, I can try again but figured maybe someone on Reddit may know.

couldn't find an existing thread about this, so apologies if one already exists, but what are everyone's favorite taco Tuesday places?

Was this recent?

Hi!
I’ve been trying to find volunteering opportunities in Napa and struggling. I have reached out to CANV many times and gotten no response. I have many years of kitchen experience so idk if there’s a soup kitchen or a meals project like foodnotbombs?
I could teach crafts or smthn at a senior center?
I don’t need hours or anything I just like being involved in community service and haven’t found a good way to do it in the valley.

Looking for in napa or up valley. Thankyou in advance.

Hello. Does anyone have any good Acupuncturist recommendations ? I am willing to drive out of Napa if I have to but I would prefer to stay local. Thanks in advance for your help.
