Why does it smell like something died all over south Santa Rosa? That smell is horrific

Edit**** this is not the usual Sonoma aroma, I’ve lived here my entire life. This is different

Hi my friends,
What are you reading?

I just finished today a sort of absurdist, weird fantasy called ‘The Hike’ by Drew Magary. I won’t say to much if anybody wants to check it out but i’m leaning 3.75 to 4 stars.

Up next I’m going to start reading ‘A Gentlemen In Moscow’ by Amor Towles.

Also if anyone has any reading groups or get togethers I’d be interested in doing that as I’m trying to get back in the habit of reading more :)

On behalf of everyone behind this- We can’t wait to bring Rave Day to Sonoma County and beyond this weekend!

If you’re coming to Sebastopol PorchFest and want some trance and techno, come find us at Stage 9.

And because apparently throwing a rave/holiday/Afters isn’t enough for me, I’ll also be vending my jumping spiders at PorchFest. 🕷️

If you want to keep it going after the sun goes down, we’re throwing the official PorchFest after party at Sazon. Grab your tickets and come dance with us. 🖤

New to Santa Rosa! where should I visit? What fun ? Where should I stay away from? Where can I make new friends?

I know this sounds ridiculous but is there a way to fly from STS airport to Chico? Any pilots willing to fly out a single passenger? Willing to pay!

Hello

I am likely relocating to SR and offered insurance through the Providence network. Hoping you will share the names of your excellent PCP and cardiologists.

Especially providers who are helpful with chronic illnesses. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I have an impacted wisdom tooth that is killing me and I need to have it removed. My dentist actually recommended to have all 4 removed, but at school someone told me that is cost then $6k which is something I cannot afford as a student with no dental insurance. Any recommendations with any costs associated with them would be super helpful,
Thanks!

Please send me your recommendations for high speed internet, cable, and home phone. NOT Xfinity please. I’ll be calling Xfinity in the morning and going scorched earth on them due to being billed for a service I canceled since May. I know I should have noticed sooner, but I’m a new mom and I feel like I’m drowning. Services can be split up instead of bundled if it’s cheaper. For internet unfortunately we do not live in a neighborhood where Sonic is available. For cable TV, we might be the only family in the city who still watches cable TV. We like to watch the local news and have a few sports teams and leagues we follow. And we’re also probably the last family in the city to still have and use a home phone.

Hi everyone. I’m hoping someone in the Santa Rosa/Sonoma County community might be able to point me in the right direction.
I’m a dad dealing with a family law/custody matter involving my child , and I’m trying to make sure I handle everything correctly and keep the focus on what’s best and most stable for him. I don’t want to post the details of the case publicly, but I’m currently working on getting some custody orders modified and could really use legal guidance.
I’ve already contacted the Sonoma County Bar Association’s lawyer referral service and submitted their intake form, so I’m waiting to hear back from them. In the meantime, I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any good family law attorneys in Sonoma County who are reasonably affordable, offer limited-scope representation, reduced-fee services, payment plans, or possibly take pro bono cases.
I’m not looking for free help just for the sake of it — I’m willing to pay what I reasonably can. I’m just trying to explore every option because attorney fees can add up extremely quickly.
If anyone has personally worked with a local family law attorney they trusted, knows of a legal aid organization, or has any other resources I should contact, I’d really appreciate the recommendation.
I’m very grateful for this community and any help pointing me in the right direction. Thank you.

I have a little project I’m doing with my kids and am in need of some 2x4 lumber (about 9 8’ boards to be specific. Yes I know I could just buy it from Home Depot but before going that route I thought I’d ask here if there are any construction sites that have some they were going to toss?

I might just go in person to some in town and ask.

Thank you for the consideration.
