Be kind to each other

If you are directing insults or foul language to another member of the community you'll probably be banned without warning.

Advocating or suggesting or joking about inflicting physical harm on others will probably also result in banning.


No Commercial, Business or "Classified' Posts

Commercial posts or "classified ads" (buying, selling, trading, giving unwanted things away for free), help wanted, job wanted, housing wanted, housing for sale or rent, for-profit events) not permitted. No surveys.

It's great to ask for recommendations ("Who's a good plumber? What's a good garage for Toyotas?") and it's great to ask for job seeking advice.

It is okay to advertise a local benefit/charitable event where proceeds go to a cause in the Santa Cruz County community.


No Nudity/Exhibitionism or Nudity for Shock Value/Personals or Dating Ads

There are more appropriate places to display your body or your primary sexual attributes (or those of your SO or some random stranger you got a pic of), so do it in those places. Posting NSFW is not enough; this is largely a community discussion group. Posting nudes for shock value is also not what this sub is about.

No nudes ever? At the discretion of the mods. If you get a shot of a parade of naked protestors marching down Pacific Avenue, that's not shock value: that's Santa Cruz.

Personals or Dating posts are better suited in personals or dating subreddits, there are more than enough to meet your appetites in that regard elsewhere on Reddit.

Band in front of Books and Music Store on Halloween Night

Last night on Pacific avenue, under the Books and Music store canopy, there was this great band playing. The drummer was dressed as a jester and the guitarist had a spinny top hat and a onesie on. The lead singer also on guitar was wearing multicolored Leis and camouflage-type pants. They did a reggae sounding song that was just sooo awesome.

Does anyone know their name or where I can listen online? I didn’t get video because I was too lost in the moment!!

Thanks!

Parking overnight in downtown garage

I have a monthly parking pass to one of the downtown garages. I’m going to need to stay downtown overnight one night coming up (not a weekend.) Any idea if I can leave my car there with the pass?

Anyone else get eggs thrown at them last night? (Upper West near West Lake Elementary)

About 1030 pm last night (10/31) while driving home up High Street past Moore Street my SUV was the unfortunate target of two raw eggs. Fortunately both eggs hit my windows and not paint. I stopped but kept driving home as I had full car full of teens. I was able to wash off the egg right away and this morning everything looks ok. I was pretty upset/disappointed that this happened. Anyone else get hit? Should I file a police report?

What can I do with my leftover candy?

Like many others , I had very few kids come knocking. I have a ton of candy left, and I know people are sometimes squeamish about donations like that. Any ideas? I certainly don't want to keep it around .

Question

If I were to dance (burlesque?) in the forest at night would it be illegal if I were to be caught or is it fine as long as I cover up if someone approaches? Currently planning on doing a group circle for all hallows eve and not sure on the legality of the matter if it helps we’d be on some backroad by a trail

Police activity around Harvey west and pogonip

I was riding my bike by Costco and saw a bunch of cops patrolling the area, even one cruiser on the bike path.

Then I was riding down from campus and saw campus police at the look out on Coolidge who wouldn’t give me any info other then they were looking for a transient person with a pitbull.

Anyone know what’s up?

Which phone company has good 5G coverage in Santa Cruz?

I just moved to Santa Cruz and I see that the phone coverage is terrible, any company that you recommend is good for this side of the bay
