Basically the title, looking for some place to fill up a couple of balloons. Don’t want to buy a tank if I can avoid it.

Are there any good local gyms for weightlifting? Looking for a place with squat racks, bench presses, cable machines, and a good dumbbell rack.

The pandemic has caused hundreds of local blood drives to be cancelled. A large portion of these have been at businesses with offices that continue to have employees work remotely. We are looking for new sponsors for 2022 to help meet patient need. Do you want to be part of something that helps people? Do you want to honor the memory of a loved one? Becoming a blood donor coordinator is a wonderful way to give back to the community.

Join us to ensure a steady blood supply for patients in the local hospitals. Vitalant is the main blood supplier in the Bay Area and we need your help!

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a host, please contact acarter@vitalant.org.

Pre-pandemic, I was able to drop in at the counter. Now they’re appointment only, and I have to play phone tag for simple questions, and I haven’t been able to find info on how to book an appointment. They’ve also been pretty non-responsive via email.

I'm sure they're all trying there best, mostly asking to figure out the best way to work with their schedule and limitations.

Right now I want to get plans checked and building code nuances confirmed before starting some electrical projects. It should take no more than 30 min of the inspector's time.

What has worked for you in the past? What is the best time/way to reach them?

On Saturday, October 16th, Vitalant and the New Community Church will be hosting a lifesaving blood drive at 1100 Middle Ave, Menlo Park, CA, 94025 and you’re invited to save a life at this important event. The drive will be running from 10:00am – 2:30pm that day, and in just 1 hour you can save as many as 3 lives! Every 3 seconds someone in America needs blood and 100% of the blood supply comes from donors like you, so please consider scheduling an appointment.

As back-to-school and work routines resume, blood donations have slowed, yet the need remains strong. When severe weather hits it’s the blood on the shelves that helps to save lives. It’s important to keep the blood supply sufficient during this time of year.

There is no waiting period to give blood after receiving an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine, and new blood donors can now learn their preliminary blood type right away when they come to donate. Making and keeping an appointment in the days ahead or even further out helps ensure we maintain a steady blood supply for patients. Thank you in advance for your assistance in our lifesaving mission, and we look forward to seeing you at the drive.

I’ve seen articles dated April 2019 stating that Menlo Park was planning to discontinue the operation but haven’t seen anything official from the city since.

Does anyone know? Has anyone gotten a ticket recently?

Vitalant has an urgent need for blood, platelet or plasma donations to address a drop in donations and meet both emergency and routine patient needs. Blood donors of all blood types are urged to make an appointment to give this September and help meet the needs of trauma victims and other patients needing lifesaving transfusions. On average, donors give several thousand fewer donations during the summer compared to the rest of the year, but the need for lifesaving blood transfusions remains steady.

To support local hospitals and patients in need, The New Community Church is sponsoring a lifesaving blood drive on Saturday, September 18th at 10:00am- 3:00pm located inside at 1100 Middle Avenue, Menlo Park CA 94025. Appointment slots are still available for this drive, so please tell your friends and family to join you.

Blood usage by patients has increased as people seek medical care they put off during the height of the pandemic and as people resume activities that can lead to more traumas, so please consider donating if you're eligible. You can click the link below to schedule an appointment for this drive, or call 1-887-25-GIVE.

Small cybermob monitoring this forum and responding with unconstructive responses and unwarranted personal attacks on posters.

There is a group of people recording audio throughout the Menlo Park area talking to each other on their radios about you. They have been talking about you over 15 days during the past 3 months. You can overhear them talking about you over the entire Menlo Park area. I do not know who they are or how they capture audio or what radio comm system they are using. I do not know why they are interested in you. The other people I have overheard talking about have frequently ended up arrested. The people doing this are stalkers and harass people in public. They record audio of people when they are in bathrooms and follow them around public places and in local businesses. Your safety is compromised right now and someone is seeking to cause you harm. If you notice people following you around or harassing you in public (or if you can hear the faint sound of people talking about you,) document the incidents and contact an attorney.

I'm having a lot of issues with Comcast. Searching on the internet I could not find a fiber provider that covers downtown Menlo Park. It seems at&t fiber is everywhere but Palo Alto and Menlo Park for some reason.

Over three weeks ago I received a message I could no longer use Marketplace on facebook, have no idea why, I have asked repeatedly for it to be reviewed and my request has been ignored. I have no idea, what it is about I just have a couple of things listed to sell as I am moving. Any advice, as clearly there is no way to talk to anyone at facebook. My request for review has stayed open and no review has been done in spite of numerous attempts to contact them. I am looking for housing in SF and can not use facebook due to this issue. Thanks.

If you are currently healthy, please consider donating blood in the coming weeks. Patients rely on blood from volunteer donors to see tomorrow and your donation can potentially save as many as 3 lives.

Blood donation is considered an “essential service” and is exempt from the current shelter in place order, so please consider scheduling an appointment if you're healthy and able. Additionally, all successful donations will be tested for COVID-19 antibodies.

Deleted this passage due to harassing comments, some of which appear to be SPAM, disingenuous, or inauthentic. You be you, Unsafeway parking lot. RIP stripped/stolen bicycles.

Everyone, I've been going to a dental clinic in Palo Alto. Don't like it, and their upselling of treatments I don't need. Hygienist is also rather careless. Can anyone recommend a dentist in Menlo Park/Palo Alto/Redwood C? Preferably a clinic with modern equipment.

I have been encountering a harassing caravan of red vehicles in the area for about a month. They are bold - following people down the street, communicating info about specific persons they don't like, then harassing them when they find them in public. Also getting harassed by some area construction workers, some of whom appear to be tied to the caravan of red trucks. From what I can tell they are angry that someone stole property (probably from a construction site) or graffitied property (again, probably a construction site) and are looking for the person or people who did it. Also found some vigilantes following me and a few other people around downtown Menlo Park parking lots. I overheard them discussing how they are looking for people urinating in public. They travel around with their speaker phones on communicating location and appearance data about people walking through the parking lot. They have followed me over a dozen times, but the last red vehicle that drove by in a caravan today was the final straw.

Don't confront people in the red vehicles if they start following you around or harassing you - they are dangerous and tied to regional extremists and paranoid conspiracy theorists. Contact a law enforcement agency.

Follow-Up: Some predictable trolls that live in the area, saw this post, and started driving their red vehicles around with increased frequency, followed me around the neighborhood to rub it in. Go Menlo Park!

Super-long shot, but I figured it was worth trying.

My parked car got backed into and the bumper dented up on Tuesday, 8/18, in the 2800 block of Sand Hill by a truck with a hitch on the back of it. You genuinely may not have realized you ran up onto the bumper hard enough to dent it, as my car is a white Scion FR-S and you clearly had a very large truck given how you smooshed the bumper down.

However, it's a $1,000 deductible before my uninsured motorist coverage kicks in if the person who hit me is not identified (deductible waived if they are identified). So, seriously, if you read this and you hit my car or know who did, would you please PM me with your/their tag number?

I'm not trying to cause the responsible party trouble, but $1,000 is a rather large amount to owe after I already walked out of a rather long and stressful workday on Tuesday to discover I now have to deal with property damage and an insurance claim, during a pandemic and a fire crisis. Not cool.

Hello I am starting a new Residency at Stanford and looking to move into Belle Haven, does anyone have any experience living in that area? I will most likely be biking in most of the time when not doing WFH.

Also, which services do people in the area use to report crime. If there are no formal services/applications, what social media networks or messaging tools do people in the area use to update each other about crime? Things like Twitter, Facebook, etc. Seeking information about active communities in this case.

I am familiar with the app Citizen but I am under the impression that it is not used in Menlo Park. I am assuming there is something similar, either a private company or something arranged through the city/county/state.

This is purely informational. I am not really interested in using an application/service like this, but I am interested in how people in the area receive updates and report crimes.

Thanks! This is not a troll post - I have ties to this area and have visited frequently this year.

Hey all, I'm moving to Menlo Park for work, and I'm looking for a really nice apartment with a budget of roughly $3k. I don't really know the area, although I've lived in Mountain View and Sunnyvale in the past. I'd be living alone without pets in a 1BR or studio. I'm looking at places like Indigo, The Village and The Triton, based off a search on Apartment List. However, I don't really know if those places have a good reputation. Can you make any recommendations? Thanks.
