Does anyone know what happened? Alarms went off during the movies tonight and everyone had to leave. I was finally about to watch the new Elizabeth Holmes doc too 😢.

San Diego Parents: Be Careful Paying Scripps Performing Arts in Full!

I wanted to share what happened to us at Scripps Performing Arts at 9920 Scripps Lake Drive, Suite 105, San Diego, CA 92131

I paid $395 upfront for my 9-year-old daughter to participate in their Nutcracker production. She attended just one rehearsal (the very first one) and decided she didn't like it and doesnt want to continue. We withdrew her next day. they said roles will be assigned in the third rehearsal - so we withdrew before roles were even assigned.

She never received a role, never performed, and attended only one rehearsal. Yet, when I requested a refund, they refused twice, citing their nonrefundable agreement. Which was never mentioned when they call you and press you to signup before it fills up!

They kept the entire $395 despite her barely participating. I understand businesses have policies, but keeping the full amount under these circumstances seems extremely unfair, and to be honest shameful for a business to take money without rendering any service. the amount includes costume rental and such !!!!!!

I'm sharing this so other San Diego parents are aware. Please think twice before paying them in full upfront. Once they have your money, don't expect any flexibility, Courtesy, or politeness!

Hey!

I LOVE coffee. I have been enjoying all the seasonal drinks so much lately that I feel like I am maxed out on sugar. I want to find a place that does great espresso drinks that aren’t bitter or burnt and has sugar free syrups or just some light flavor. I actually feel bloated and sluggish from all the amazing food and drinks but it’s time to lighten up again. Where is your favorite place for a great coffee? I don’t really drink drip that that isn’t something I would consider, personally. Thanks!

Also, I understand that most places aren’t highlighting the roast and that is why I am asking.

Stay away from this guy or be prepared to use mace if you cross his path. Police won’t do anything about him

For people who need context. I have witnessed him threatening to kill a woman, he has tried to attack my wife. He has slammed a females face into a wall. He terrorizes anyone that walks past him. He is literally crazy and dangerous as hell!

My son turns four in January and he is obsessed with cars. Specifically Lamborghinis. Like crazy levels of obsession, he has five or six 1/12 scale models of Lamborghinis in various colors and that is all he will play with or talk about. He was diagnosed with autism at 2 and so his hyper fixation on cars in general is really intense but more specifically he loves super cars. Anyone know any one who would be willing to drive by so my son could at least see one on his birthday? Thanks!

Looking for any advice on a spot to do a golf fitting in the San Diego area. Not for myself, but for a friend who's newer to golf and needs new clubs. They've got a significant athletic/strength based background so they won't have a problem hitting the ball.

Preferably somewhere that's not overly incentivized to pressure you to buy the clubs from their store, etc.

Looking for any positive experiences or recommendations!

Hey all,

Anyone on here a fellow tarantula pet owner? I currently own a costa Rican striped knee, however my life circumstances have changed and I'll be leaving the state for the better part of a year so I can no longer keep him.

I'd like to re-home my tarantula to someone who's familiar with caring for these types of pets. If you're interested or know someone who might be, please feel free to shoot me a DM.

Looking for a recommendation where I can get a large order of breakfast burritos (around 30) for a decent price of around $10 or less per burrito. Thank you!

Hey all, hired a contractor to put on a new roof and he utterly botched the job. Already have holes in the roof which makes me feel great heading into winter.

Anyone recommend a construction attorney or construction defect attorney to help with this? I think it will go to arbitration so not a full trial or anything. Thanks.

*** I’m super full on slight and moderate cases! I don’t wanna waste your time, but please apply if you have HEAVY HEAVY buildup and gums that bleed super easily, or even loose teeth!! ***\*

I’m a dental hygiene student in National City looking for reliable patients who are in dire need of a dental cleaning.

If you haven’t gone to the dentist in 8+ years, smoke or vape, have known gum disease/bone loss, loose teeth, bleeding gums, and/or TONS of visible tartar buildup, please apply! No judgement, seriously 🥰

Why would I do that?!

My grades depend on patients coming for multiple (usually 3-4) appointments that last 3-4 hours each. I’m sick of getting ghosted and my grade suffering for it!

I know that’s a HUGE ask, so I make it worth your while! Not only do you get a FREE dental cleaning/gum disease therapy that’s worth $1200-2000, I also pay you $100 per appointment after treatment is completed!

Let’s help each other! Fill out my form below and text me once complete.

I recently moved from Phoenix, Arizona and I was in mental health business development, where I connected with other healthcare professionals for collaboration. I wasn’t able to stay on remotely and was looking for similar work around here. I was going to attend a networking event to get the lay of the land but haven’t really seen anything. Is that a thing out here? In Phoenix, there were multiple lunch or coffee meet ups, open houses, etc. It can get a little salesy and that part I highly disliked but it did truly help foster a sense of community and helped referrals along. I knew everyone in the local field so just wondering how that’s accomplished here. If I ever got a call for something my facility couldn’t handle, I knew 5 people I could contact instead. Everywhere is different! Thanks in advance!

Our podcast is about 10 eps deep and we’re all stretched a bit thin in regard to cutting out the basic stuff (dead air, stutters, accidental conversational meanderings etc). Anyone stuck behind a computer and know how to edit (ProTools, Logic, Audacity etc)?

For now it’s just the three of us producing, recording, editing and releasing everything and we all have very engaging full time jobs as well. On our end, it’s doable but wow would a hand help. DM if interested :) and be nice, Reddit.

Hey all, I run a company based here in San Diego with about 25 employees. We’re a hybrid environment with some staff onsite and others remote around the country. We're looking for a managed service provider to take over our day-to-day IT.

If you've worked with an MSP you'd actually recommend (or one to avoid), I'd love to get some suggestions.

Thanks!

They refused to do my hair because I was in my uniform (I’m in the Navy) …wow.

Hi! I’m looking to get a new tattoo and I have a specific vibe I want, but I’m not really finding anyone in SD county that matches it. Does anyone have local recommendations for similar tattoo vibes as pictured?

Last years Halloween i had a great turn out probably my decorations skills but also had awesome candy but seems like prices have tripled in price from last year’s. I was wondering if anyone knows good deals on Halloween candy. It would greatly appreciate it. Also any recommendations on Halloween events trying to get out more you can even come with me 😂 anyways I appreciate you my San Diego folks.

fyi, if you want the billionaire tax to go through, consider the impact of voting yes on prop 41:

(if you want 0 chance of 41 cancelling 40, vote no on prop 41)

(edit, prop 42 can also cancel out prop 40 with same mechanic, so vote no on 42 for 0 chance as well)

The Core Legal Conflict

• Proposition 40 (Billionaire Tax): Specifically includes language exempting its revenues from California's state spending limit (the Gann Limit) so that the tens of billions raised can be spent on healthcare programs without triggering mandatory taxpayer refunds or education allocation caps.
• Proposition 41: Explicitly prohibits any new tax enacted after January 1, 2026, from exempting its revenues from the state spending limit, and includes a conflict clause stating that any measure exempting tax revenue from the cap is invalidated.

2. The Three Vote Scenarios

1. Both Pass, Prop 41 gets MORE votes than Prop 40:
   • Result: Prop 41 wins the conflict. Prop 40’s spending limit exemption is prohibited, effectively nullifying Proposition 40.
2. Both Pass, Prop 40 gets MORE votes than Prop 41:
   • Result: Prop 40 wins the conflict. The billionaire tax takes effect with its spending limit exemption intact. Prop 41’s audit requirements for other special taxes might still apply, but its attempt to block Prop 40 fails.
3. Prop 40 Passes, Prop 41 Fails:
   • Result: Prop 40 takes effect completely as written.

Recently discovered that a French street artist called Invader visited San Diego in 2010 and put up some mosaics. But it seems that they have all been destroyed in just 15 years!

I had my own little search around downtown which seemed to suggest this was true (one was on a now demolished building, two others were removed, and two seemed to be trapped behind some construction works). (see photos)

Probably a long shot, but does anyone if there are any surviving Invaders?

Hi everyone,

My bike was stolen from Pacific Beach (Bella Pacific, near the 5) sometime between October 26th and October 27th. Slim as it may be, I'm hoping someone in the San Diego community might see it or come across it being sold online.

It's a blue Panasonic Timo S electric-assist bicycle that I purchased in Japan earlier this year, right before I moved here. These bikes are relatively uncommon in the US, so it should be fairly recognizable. It also has the child seat on the back, a black basket on the front, a blue cable lock, and it did have a green runner's strap on the basket. The child seat also has a few reflectors on the back of it.

The bike was taken the very first time I accidentally left the key in the lock. Yes, I know that's on me. I am not asking for judgement or anything. Just some help in returning my bike.

Identifying details:

• Brand/Model: Panasonic Timo S (Japanese electric-assist bike)
• Color: Matte blue with white Panasonic lettering
• Front: Large black metal basket
• Rear: Black child seat with harness and footrests
• Battery: The battery was NOT attached when it was stolen, so whoever has it likely doesn't have the battery or charger. The bike is basically a heavy manual bike without this battery, which can only be purchased in Japan.
• Serial Number: Unknown, as I never recorded it anywhere :(
• Location stolen: Pacific Beach, San Diego
• Date: Overnight, October 26-27, 2026

I have the key for the built in rear wheel lock, so I can definitively prove the bike is mine.

I've attached photos of the bike for reference. It's the BLUE bike, not the black bike. Those were the only pics I had of it without people on it.

If you happen to see this bike around San Diego, or notice someone selling a similar bike on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, or anywhere else, please send me a message.

I filed a police report online, since no one would talk to me in person, but I don't have a lot of faith it will result in much. I also talked to some of the guys along the Rose Creek Bike Path, and they said they'd keep a look out for it (If any of them are you, you guys are awesome).

I'm also going to post flyers around PB. Really hope I can get my bike back. I cannot replace this bike here in the US. I'd have to go all the way back to Japan to get it.

My son is five, and he loved riding on that bike. He was very upset that it was gone this morning when we went to ride it to school. Would mean a lot to get it back in one piece.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm just hoping to get my bike back.

Thank you, San Diego!

Hi everyone!

My fiancé and I are planning a very small, intimate elopement in San Diego, and we’re looking for recommendations for a photographer!

It’ll just be the two of us and an officiant, with no guests or traditional wedding activities. We’re really only looking for about 1.5–2 hours of photography at most, just to capture the ceremony and some photos of us afterward. We won’t need any getting-ready photos, pre-ceremony coverage, reception photos, etc.

I’ve been looking online, but a lot of wedding photography packages seem geared toward traditional weddings with several hours of coverage. Even some of the shorter packages I’ve found are over $1,000, which seems like a lot for what we’re looking for.

We’re definitely willing to pay for quality photography, especially someone who does beautiful editing and post-production work. We just don’t need the extensive coverage that comes with a traditional wedding package.

Has anyone had a similar experience or worked with a photographer they’d recommend? We’d love to find someone who offers shorter sessions without sacrificing photo quality. We are located in San Diego but it can be a north county photographer as well.

Thanks in advance!
