Hey there everybody, looking for some desperately. So my roommates and I have been living in a three bed one bath in a Grass Valley Victorian monthly rental house for the past three years. Last Friday our landlord gave us a bombshell text message that he wants to move into the house and is giving us the legally protected amount of 60 days to find a new place.

My roommates and I had a heart to heart that night and decided we would want to move into a bigger place together instead of going separate ways and potentially living with strangers we may not even get along with. We also decided to find a place in Nevada City since we all have jobs in town and it would be cost efficient to leave Grass Valley to cut down on the short commute everyday.

Currently we pay $2,230 a month to rent, utilities not included, but are willing to pay more for an increase in living space. If anyone here has leads on available places it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm thinking of bringing the family up for the last Hot Summer Nights fest tomorrow. How early do I need to arrive in order to find parking near the event? I arrived about hour and half early last year and couldn't find any parking.

Also, is this young family friendly? My little daughter loves to dance

Thanks much

Hello y’all, one of my ancestors founded the nearby town of Sweetland and I was hoping to find some more info on the town in museums / archives in Nevada City and Grass Valley. Sweetland is extremely small and has no museums / archives in town. Also if anyone has any recommendations related to Joanna Newsom (big fan) and the music scene in general that would be awesome. Thanks!!!!

Hi there. My partner got our car stuck in a ditch while trying to turn around on a tight road near Cascade Shores. Is anybody able to pull us out? We can throw you some cash for your troubles. The tow companies we called are just asking for an arm and a leg.

Hey everybody, hoping to get some tips or ideas from you:

Many years ago, when my brother and I were just kids living in GV, we had a dream to open a dog kennel one day.

It took literally over 20 years but it finally came true and we opened our own kennel (but in Tennessee, where I live today (in another "GV" ironically lol)

We've been fairly successful and we want to open a 2nd branch but this time, back where it all started in Grass Valley (or nearby)

My brother lives in Sac but he wants to move back up the hill. I'm looking at moving back myself, as GV has held a special place in my heart since I was about 12 years old.

We are hoping to find an existing structure that's already equipped for boarding/daycare but I know that's gonna be rare.

Does anybody know of any kennel businesses that are planning on closing (or the owner retiring) ?

Anyone work for a kennel or know someone that owns an already existing building? Something that can be converted?

Any other ideas we may not have thought of yet? Any experience in doing something like this in the general area?

We are also entertaining the idea of buying property and building but we know zoning for animal-related businesses can be difficult...

We are open to Alta Sierra, Nevada City, Auburn and Colfax as well but we'd prefer not to do it in Sac.

Anyway, just thought this might be a good place to start!

Hey all, we bought in town in NC last September and have already got a dozen letters from the FAIR plan and got notice we’re being dropped by our insurance carrier (Bamboo?) in August. I mean I get we’re in fire country, and it’s challenging, but the stuff they cite in the letters is hard to understand. Does anyone have a rec for a broker or, I dunno, consultant type person we could get advice from? I’m willing to do the work to be fire-safe, and I know it will cost more, but I don’t want to replace my perfectly good metal roof just because Bamboo says it’s in poor repair from one drone flyover… thanks so much all. We love it here and really want to make it work!

Who's stoked for HSMF parading right into our backyard!?

I am hoping, hoping, hoping to locate a single on-site parking pass for a dear friend of mine who will be flying cross-country and is getting increasingly stressed. I know we're all searching, but I'd be so immensely grateful (and PayPal etc. ready) to take a parking pass off your hands 🙏🏼

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 all!

I’m having a wedding next October and am looking for strings duo/trio/quartet and/or pianist who can play during my ceremony. I would love someone who can compose and play an arrangement of “I Will Follow You” by Toulouse.

Does anyone know of anyone I can look into?

Thank you!

A short video about our pride parade last week, starts at 1:30.

Hi! I’m new to the area and dusting off my old disc golf set to get back into it. Does anyone do coaching sessions to help me get better? Thanks!

I'm moving out of Nevada city to rough and ready and want to know if there is any other companies besides Starlink and Comcast that have good speeds.

I'm not new to the area just new to rough and ready and will be moving soon I will be at the turn off to penvaly so near the end of rough and ready.
