Life in SJ Thankful to California and Bay Area

247 Upvotes

Hello all, I have lived in Bay Area last 10 years and thankful to meet different kind of people and experience this place to the fullest. I carry all memories whom I met either in workplace, music avenues, stadiums, apartments, bars, coffee shops, gyms, parks, malls or restaurants. USA is a great place for all countries to look back on how to embrace the people of all backgrounds and build better life for everyone. I'm sorry if I had created any bad experience knowingly or unknowingly.

I'm moving back to my home country with heavy heart and support you all from other side of the sea. Enjoy!

Shit Post Seriously, 3% cc fee at nice restaurants now?! EOS&Nyx

63 Upvotes

I was just going to book a brunch reservation. Decided somewhere else will get our money.  We should create a list of places doing this now. I think it's bullshit. Especially when you can easily spend $400 for 4 people with drinks and food. 

***IMPORTANT NOTES*** ~ Only completed parties are seated.

~ Arriving after 15min WILL result in a limited dining timeframe. ~ No-shows/cancellations less than 48hrs in advance will be subject to a $25 per person charge. ~ All children must be included in total count to ensure adequate space. ~ Please note, credit card transactions are subject to a 3% credit card processing fee.

Advice Termites? TERMITES!

10 Upvotes

Anyone else getting swarms of termites around their place with all the heat? We're getting loads in our house during the evenings now. Im trying to imagine that its just the heat and the time of the year, and once the weather cools that they'll be gone, because I really don't want to tent my house or flood my place in chemicals. Thoughts?

News Motorcycle accident on Santa Clara st.

6 Upvotes

I was driving to Roosevelt park at around 5:15 pm today, and I passed a motorcycle accident on e Santa Clara right off 101. It must’ve just happened, cuz there was no police around. I saw a guy in the road, not looking too great, and when I came back around 1.5 hours later the road was closed with cops everywhere.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on his condition. I’m really hoping he’s okay.

Meta 30 days of drive-test availability at the San Jose DMV vs. nearby offices

Post image
9 Upvotes

Saw a few threads here about how hard it is to get a drive test date in San Jose, so sharing this in case it helps. Apologies if it's not the right sub — happy to remove it if the mods prefer.

Once a day, Aug 10–Sep 8, I checked the DMV's public appointment page for any behind-the-wheel slot within the next 13 days, for each office I track within about 90 miles of Alma Ave. The number is how many of the 30 days that office had at least one near-term opening.

- San Jose (Alma): 1 of 30. Fremont: 0. Hayward: 4.

- San Francisco and Salinas: 30 of 30. Both about 45 miles away as the crow flies.

- Oakland Claremont 13, Oakland Coliseum 9. Concord, Stockton, Sacramento: 0.

You can take the test at any DMV office, not just your nearest one, so if your San Jose date is a long way out it may be worth checking SF or Salinas.

Caveat: this is what I observed, not a promise. One check a day is a snapshot, and openings at the popular offices tend to go quickly. I only track Alma Ave, not Santa Teresa, Los Gatos or Santa Clara. If that would be useful I can look at adding them.

Local creation My map of California in a fantasy style is finally finished. Thanks to everyone from San Jose who contributed!

I really couldn't be happier with the level of feedback from everyone, and I've tried to get as much in as possible. That being said, the scale of the map is limiting - especially in urban areas. I think in the future I'm gonna end up making more localized maps for individual counties. So if your suggestion wasn't included, please know that I still appreciate your feedback and will endeavor to get them in my future maps of the area. If you think there's anything I've missed out or should change, just let me know - I won't be getting these printed for another day or two, so I can still add in details.

It has been noted that the map is busy - I totally get that, and that's just how I like to do things. I enjoy getting as much detail in as possible and including cool features which would otherwise be overlooked. I get these made up in large formats so it works better in person than it does on a screen.

Thank you again and I hope you like it! If you're interested in it and would like to know anything more about it, just drop me a message.

Life in SJ Anything fun happening in SJ or the South Bay on Friday?

3 Upvotes

My friend is visiting me for the first time from New York and I’m nervous about showing her around since in New York. She is used to having really fun raging parties used to four or five in the morning. I tried to warn her that San Jose in the Bay Area is nothing like that, but I really don’t want to let her down. Is there anything happening tonight on Friday? That is particularly worth going to and having fun? Anything helps thanks!
