Did you know 1 in 6 people in San Mateo county depends on Second Harvest for food?

One of Second Harvest's 35 Trucks

Check out this article in the Almanac - lots of people are working hard but not able to get by because wages are not keeping pace with the cost of everything - groceries, rent, gas, utilities, ... Please support your food bank so everyone can have food. We need to help people right now AND fix things for the long term. Demand for food assistance has skyrocketed, food distribution services say they need more help heading into holidays - The Almanac

Moving to Menlo Park for Tech Job – Neighborhood Recommendations

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m a 26y/o guy moving from the South to California(Cupertino) soon to start a new job in tech, and I’m trying to figure out the best neighborhood to live in. Checked with some other subredds, and Menlo Park seems like a decent fit based on what I’m looking for in a community and lifestyle, but I’d love some local insight.

About Me

• Demographics: 26M, single, and working in tech

• Interests: art classes (painting & ceramics), piano lessons, movie theaters, creative writing/reading, soccer, church, parks and volunteering

Question

Would Menlo Park be a good fit for someone like me? Are there other neighborhoods or nearby cities I should consider? I’ll be looking to rent an apartment and would love any recommendations on places with a strong sense of community, where it’s easy to meet people and dive into activities like mine. Thanks!

Can anyone drop the Cafe Borrone Blueberry Biscuit recipe??

My partner, myself, and partner’s mom have been casually trying to recreate these addicting biscuits at home with no success…. I’m hoping someone knows someone who might be able to give me the recipe or simply has some pointers? (If distributing the recipe is not allowed)

I need to work on my timing for hitting a n volleyball, I can serve and pass pretty well. I’ve never played setter so that is pretty weak. Anyone up For doing some drills and then a game? I know there’s leagues , but I wanted to get into doing drills and sets with someone, it’s fun, you learn a lot and meet new people. I

For tennis- I’m very interested in learning more and have invested some more in classes- but since I’m in obviously beginner - I can’t play with a lot of people. Anyone interested in doing some drills For that too? I do weights at the gym but don’t enjoy the same boring cardio- so I want to do stuff I enjoy.. would anyone be interested?

A few points to consider, but feel free to mention anything:

Closures on Santa Cruz Ave

I recently saw that Galata Bistro closed after 15 years, they told patrons it was because the landlord would not renew their rent. There are lots of other locations that have lease available. Is there a reason for this trend? I didn't get the impression Galata couldn't pay a higher rent, for example, but maybe they simply refused to sign a new lease at higher price.

Any local breakdancing or hip hop groups l

Hi all, I recently got back home from my first year of college and I've been having a hard time looking for local dance studios in the Menlo Park/Redwood City area. I mainly breakdance but I'm also open to finding and learning new style of dance like hip hop, ballroom or any types of cultural dance styles. I'm 19 years old so I wanted to ask if anyone knew or could recommend any local studios to check out in the area.

Home Caretaker Offer - I pay YOU to take care of your home

Menlo Park homeowners - I have an offer

https://preview.redd.it/8kwu4s99fa3d1.png?width=490&format=png&auto=webp&s=2cbc749e840516b93f908839b1915fc70ce541c1

Would you like someone to maintain your house as if it were your own, and pay YOU for the privilege?

This is exactly what I offer. I am a young engineer with unrealistic dreams of homeownership and a knack for housework. I am very handy and can replace a number of services you already pay for/do yourself, or act as a caretaker in your absence.

I am offering the following:

  • monthly rent on par with a typical room in the area (negotiable)
  • cleaning to above your standards i.e. floors, windows, carpets, kitchen, car washing, etc
  • regular yard work and gardening
  • home improvements i.e. painting, fencing, decking, electrical (I am an EE), I.T. work, landscaping, installations, carpentry, etc
  • a friendly attitude and sense of humor

I am asking for the following:

  • a bedroom in a nice enough house in the Mountain View/Palo Alto/Los Altos/Menlo Park area
  • a second room or office space
  • not too many housemates if you are already renting the place
  • occasional use of your back yard

I will not utilize your common spaces if you do not want me to.

If interested please message, I am fully serious!

Advice on working with City Hall Building Division?

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?
