Social Club Maybe?

Hi everyone! I’m posting to these groups since I live in this area and noticed a lot of us are in the same dinghy: late 20s-early 40s single/new here/extroverted BUT having a hard time meeting new people without having to go all the way to SF or SJ to do so. Maybe thinking of starting a social club within the San Carlos/ San Mateo/ Redwood City areas where we can like casually meet each other for drinks or top golf or dinners or bars etc. of anyone would be interested? I’m open to being the planner and making shit happen(was my entire career for 10 years) OR having people throw ideas in each time and voting on them!

Just upvoting the post if you’d be interested (but wanna remain anonymous)and we could maybe do like weekly or biweekly hang outs?

Obviously you don’t have to be single but just anyone who wants to build friendship and community without joining a running, biking or workout club (no hate on those just not my thing since I work in fitness already lol I need other outlets!)

I’ll make a subreddit if enough people upvote and show interest so we can regularly post there too:)

Bars/ Social Clubs/ people

Hi I’m new to San Carlos, single and don’t have really any friends here yet. I’m trying to meet people organically (not interested in dating apps). Are there any places you’d recommend I check out? I’m a 30yo Female Could be bars or social clubs or sober activities as I really only drink socially/on occasion. Where does everyone hang out lmao 🤓

Best nearby gym: Bay Club, Cañada College, or College of San Mateo?

New arrival to San Carlos looking for a gym. I like big facilities with weights and weight machines and no crowds during off hours. I don't need classes, personal trainers, pickleball/tennis or stationary bikes/pools.

  • Bay Club seems elegant and pricey but can probably find a group to join.
  • Cañada College looks nice and price is right for seniors but maybe too many teens (?)
  • College of San Mateo seems similar to Cañada College.

Let me know if you have any advice, thanks!

Remodel recs- architect + general contractor or design-build?

Anyone have a good architect/GC combo or an all-in-one design-build firm recommendation that knows and does a lot of work in SC with availability coming up? Looking at a sizable remodel- no additions; mostly interior updating and a few external things like window replacements, siding updates. Thanks!

Breakfast at Sakura on Laurel

I'm not sure when they started doing so, but Sakura on Laurel street is open for breakfast. They have a selection of Eggs Benedicts with ham/bacon/crab/salmon, some interesting omelettes, etc. We ate there this morning and were quite happy with it.

Man suspiciously looking inside my car at Trader Joes

Beware... my husband parked our bmw x7 across the street (white oak way) by trader joes... husband went inside to get grocery's while I stayed in the car with my baby.

Guy (looked tough, yound adult) came up to our car and started scoping the car out through the windows. Looked in all pour windows but the front..

I'm strongly assuming he didn't notice we were in the car.

Luckily my husband came out in time and asked him if he was looking for something and the guy took off.

Scared the crap outta me... hard to make a move with a baby in the car that wasn't strapped in the seat.

Train noise at night ?

Hi San Carlos Community!

I was looking at an apartment about a block and a half away from the station. I was wondering how the train noise is in the day and if they honk a lot? Also, how is the freight train noise at night? I am currently in Mountain View several blocks from San Antonio station (granted I’m also near a crossing) and I can hear the trains at night pretty well so I am a bit nervous moving even closer to the tracks!

Would love some insight. Thank you :)

Do top universities like Mapua, Letran, Ateneo, DLSU, UST, and San Carlos accept Junior high-school graduate that has below 85 grade (For senior high-school entrance exam)

So before math was really the hardest subject for me lalo na noong high-school na ako, so it was really hard for to accept the fact na may grade ako below 85. Knowing na I have okay grades in other subject, I asked this question because I'm planning to transfer schools in senior high-school. Now nag doubt na talaga ako na makapasa pa ba ako, I just also wanted to ask lalo for some of you guys na try na maka pasa or hindi sa mga universities na tinatry nyung pasukan.

Local realtor recommendations

I'm very loosely / lightly thinking about talking to a listing agent for our home to see what it might go for. Am curious to hear from this group about local agents who they would recommend (or not recommend).

Dentist with good COVID preparedness?

Can anyone recommend a local dentist who takes COVID seriously, like having HEPA filters turning over the air in their exam rooms?

Parking near Caltrain station

Where do you all recommend parking near the Caltrain station? Free, all day, on a weekday. Circled around the local neighborhoods but they were all 2hrs only, so hoping any locals had any recommendations they'd be willing to share. Feel free to DM me. Thanks in advance!

Experience living in San Carlos

What’s the experience living in downtown San Carlos? My partner and I are “downtown” people. Enjoy walking and try new restaurants. Anyone experienced living here? Moving to San Carlos from Sf due to commute. Exploring Trestle apartments, any thoughts?

Bianchini's Blackened Tri-Tip Marinade Recipe?

I moved away from the Peninsula (out of state) about 6 months ago and I'm finding myself craving the blackened marinade tri-tip that I used to buy regularly at Bianchini's. Does anyone know their marinade recipe or have a good approximation?
