A few weeks ago we found one of the Palo Alto cell phone jammers on University Ave in the Bryant parking garage. We've tested and disassembled it but need a specialist to figure out which manufacturer made it and who it's from. Do you know any specialists in cell phone technology that could identify parts?

We think there's one more around US Bank and we'll look for it next week. So there will be 2 to inspect.

We’d love your support and ideas. Click “Notify Me on Launch” on Kickstarter and join us on LinkedIn to support. Thanks for helping us make this a reality! 😊

Are you all happy with the results of the school board election?

What do you think the new board should focus on its first 90 days?

Will Nicole try to run a 3rd time?

Bit of an odd request, but does anyone know of a danish restaurant somewhat nearby? Specifically one that serves tarteletter?

Anyone know of a salon that’s not crazy expensive and knows how to work with thick hair?

I’ve lost my wallet, and the last time I can remember using it was Halloween around Midtown. It’s dark grey and has a Batman symbol on one side and a Rancho Obi Wan sticker on the other side. If anybody spotted it and/or turned it in to a nearby store please let me know! Thank you!

As the title says I am moving to Palo Alto here next week. I need to purchase some items off Amazon to be shipped there. Is there anywhere in Palo Alto where I can ship items to from Amazon? Not wanting packages to be sitting outside my unattended apartment for a couple days. Thanks!

How many votes do you all think Nicole will get in the school board election? There are around 50k voters. She has received no endorsements outside of the custodian's union and maybe 1 other group. The Paly Voice didn't have many positive things to say about her in their editorial today.
https://palyvoice.com/179705/opinion/editorial-vote-chiu-and-kamhi-for-school-board/ Seems like besides Steven Lee and Donald Trump (she was a contestant on the Apprentice) she does not have a lot of support.

I’m looking to find a public park that has a Swedish ladder or any ladder that I can practice the human flag on nearby or in Palo Alto. Please let me know!

We have a sushi place near us which makes a sizable number of cucumber wrapped rolls with no rice or minimal rice, useful for those whose blood sugar spikes after eating rice.

Sashimi is great, but being able to get a selection of rolls with other ingredients is also nice.

Is there a sushi restaurant with a similar menu selection in Palo Alto? Searches turn up variations on Kappa Maki, which isn't what I mean by "cucumber."

I used to video chat regularly with meray sumpter! She was such a good friend.. I ended up flying away for work for a year or so with minimal Internet connectivity... Haven't heard from her in over a year. She was a really bad girl... If anyone knows anything or if she is at least all good please let me know. Thank you so much!!

I could use some advice or even just a sympathetic ear. I’m 28, live in Palo Alto, and work in higher education (cool job, questionable paycheck). Despite what I think are decent photos and a well-crafted profile, my time on Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder has been…let’s just say, uneventful. For the life of me, I can’t seem to get past the “Hey, how’s it going?” stage and this has been for 3 years.

A little about me: I’m 5’7”, on the thin but well-proportioned side, and would humbly rate myself a 6/10. I went to an elite liberal arts college and USC, and I’m originally from the Midwest, so I’m still adjusting to the Bay Area’s unique dating scene. The last few months, though, it feels like I’ve just been writing clever (I think?) intros that disappear into the void.

Honestly, is anyone else in the Bay Area finding dating apps feel like an endless cycle of swipes and ghosting? I’m not against meeting people outside the apps, but I’d love any pointers on where or how – especially since my job keeps me around the college crowd, which isn’t exactly my dating pool.

So, what’s worked for others here? Am I missing some local secret? Any advice, horror stories, or even brutal truths would be great. Thanks!

Anyone know any good mechanics or anyone that can help install a hitch mount for my 2015 Nissan Sentra? On a budget.

Each one is unique, none of them are identical in style or architecture (modern, Spanish style, Tudor, cottage, etc )

So there are three open seats coming up. No incumbents. This has the makings of a major shift in PAUSD. JAR (Josh Salcman, Alison Kamhi and Rowena Chiu) seem like a welcome change of direction. The last 5 years have been tough. The Superintendent and his team have a style that is top-down, tough (some would saying bullying) and uncompromising. They decide in secret and push forward like a steamroller. A lot of groups have ended up under that steamroller. The School Board, as it currently is, really supports this approach. They continually renew Superintendent contracts. This year, they liked him so much, they gave him and his wife lifetime healthcare regardless of whether he works for PAUSD. (it'll end when he reaches Medicare age). So, if you're ok with the status quo, then the non-JAR candidates are for you. They're financed and endorsed by the outgoing Board members Ladomirak and DiBrienza (and still sitting Board member Dharap). No doubt the money and endorsement comes with the expectation of maintaining the "legacy" of this Superintendent and his team. The current board also seems to tacitly endorse the Supertendent's weird side gig, simplewins llc. His second in command is also apparently joining in on the fun. So, he's ready to go, he's got the exit plan in place. Clearly he's not going to stick around if this election goes a certain direction.

So, with all that in consideration. I'm going for JAR. I'm ready for a new direction for our schools.

I’m shocked how beautiful some of the houses decorated for Halloween especially near Waverley St. Do people go all out for Christmas too?

I was wondering if there is anyplace where people post free furniture or discounted furniture in old Palo Alto or Palo Alto ? I’m figuring there must be someplace where wealthy people donate furniture that students can check !
