I grew some field corn (the dry kind not the soft sweet corn) and I wanted to try making homemade tortillas. I need food grade slaked lime though, and if I could buy it locally that would be ideal! Does anyone know where I could find some?

Surfed around here a little bit, and while I have yet to see any sharks, I've been told Arcata is part of the "blood red triangle". I heard a story of someone who was attacked 3x at the same spot.

Seriously what we do think the risk is of shark encounters? Are there spots you outright avoid due to sharks? What has your experience been? Risk mitigation strategies?

I love the water and this area but these stories do give me the "eeks".

I live in Arcata, with roommates. How much do you think is needed per year to live in Arcata in your own apartment? Studio or one bedroom.

I was able to get a job with the county. Might be looking to find my own place in about a year.

I moved here a couple weeks ago and I have already applied with Dark staffing, all of the natural grocery stores here, and applied at a couple of restaurants for dishwasher gigs. Wasn’t sure if this was the right sub or not for gig resources lol. I have weed industry experience and hospitality experience. Open availability and good vibes are offered. 🌞🪄

Hitchhiking to Portland and trying to get that first ride out there. First step is the hardest so long as I can get out of Arcata. I’m fully packed with my backpack and the clothes I’m wearing no other luggage. Please let me know if you are heading that way. Have a good New Years!

Anyone know if they're shut down or operating under different business hours right now? Haven't been able to reach them by phone, trying to set up a reservation

I took my dog to the vet a couple days ago and they said he had kennel cough without having tested him, they sent him home and told me to wait a couple days and if he got worse to come back, they won’t open until Thursday and I would really like a second opinion and help because he is deteriorating fast and I don’t think I can wait until Thursday. He does not have cough and seems to be more about something related to his stomach.

Any help would be appreciated.

hope to leave my city

praying to walk to work

How unusual is that

Hi, my spouse is interested in moving to Arcata. I(transfem) am trying to understand how safe it is for trans folk here. This is sort of a difficult thing to quantify, but what are your takes or opinion?

I bought tickets a few months ago the the show on humbolt campus but now that it is closer I don’t want to drive 5 hours each way. If I can transfer the tickets, would someone want them?

I'm doing a school project that involves the different methods of collecting garbage in Arcata and those pictures/videos would really help out.

Visiting to play this awesome course and looking for someone to enjoy it with

Anyone know what's going on with the opening of The Basement (Jacoby Storehouse/Arcata). I've been looking in the windows and it looks gorgeous. Hoping this is going to be a great spot to hang out and enjoy some Jazz!

My girlfriend and I are having a two night getaway to the coast next week with one night in Arcata and one night in Brookings. She is vegan so I’m hoping to find a place with some great options for her for dinner. Bonus if you can recommend a good lunch place also. Thanks in advance.

Hi Arcata Redditors --

I'm not sure if this is acceptable or okay but I was hoping to get some help from you all. If this is out of line, please let me know/take this down.

This past Friday (9/1) evening, around 7:18pm, my little cousin was struck by a car while crossing the street on campus as she is a current Humboldt State student set to graduate this year. This, from what I've gathered, occurred at the cross streets of Harpst & Rossow.

Unfortunately she sustained many serious injuries including a fractured pelvis, vertebrae, ribs and brain damage.

She's got an incredibly long road ahead of her (just had brain surgery last night) and my family is feeling a little helpless at the moment. It's been a lot to take in.

So I'm seeking help with the following:

1. I'm wondering if anyone happened to see anything and/or knows anything that might be willing to share what they saw with us.

2. The medical bills are quickly adding up and that's not taking into account loss of wages, rent, etc... Without soliciting donations here, I'm curious if anyone knows of a local place that might be amenable to sharing her GoFundMe page?

Here's the link for those curious: https://www.gofundme.com/f/maddys-road-to-recovery?utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer

I would sincerely appreciate any comments or suggestions on how to amplify her story and to get clarity on what happened that evening. Thank you.

I wanna know!

My fiancé and I are getting married next week and are looking for a videographer. We aren’t expecting anything crazy professional, but if someone with an artistic eye (ideally film / video production major) could capture the special moments and whip together a decent edit, that’d be perfect! Not looking for anything extravagant, and even good with just getting the raw footage. Trying to keep the budget low.

Please let me know if interested and we can work something out. Thanks in advance!

Please delete if against any rules

I noticed that most people that bike in arcata have a milk crate as a basket and I was just gonna hit up the grocery stores to see if they were willing to give one up, but I thought I'd ask if anyone knows the best spot to find a free milk crate.

About 20 years ago there used to be this big shop right across the Arcata Marsh parking lot. They sold supplies for stained glass, mosaics and similar crafts. The shop owner’s daughter rescued cats and many times there would be cats in the shop. I got my cat, Leroy, from the daughter 19 years ago. Leroy is now 21 (he was 2 when I adopted him) and thriving in his old age.

Leroy had a brother, Billy, who I was also trying to adopt as they were a bonded pair, but Billy never let himself be caught and we were never able to reunite the cat brothers. Back in 2008, four years after I adopted Leroy , we moved to San Francisco and the shop owners daughter came to say goodbye to Leroy -he still remembered her. I’ve given Leroy a very nice happy life but I’ve always wondered if he thinks of his long lost brother Billy. It’s been a very long time and I doubt Billy is still alive but you never know. If there is one last chance to reunite these brothers I think it’s worth a shot. If nothing else it would be nice to catch up with that family.

I don’t remember the name of the shop owner or the daughter, or the shop itself honestly, it’s been so many years since all of this but I know there must be someone who remembers these folks who could help put me in touch. If you remember any detail, even just first names or the name of the shop, or other places where the daughter worked, that would be helpful and I’d be so grateful.

I’ve included a picture of Leroy enjoying his current life in San Francisco. Thanks for any leads 🙏🏽

My daughter will be attending Cal Poly Humboldt in the fall. Who has the most reliable service? Verizon, ATT, or TMOBILE.

Thank you
