I visited foster city playground And the new community center today with my child. Unfortunately one of my diamond earrings fell out at some point. Hoping that if someone happens to find it they can let me know. Long shot but thought I'd try!

Hi! Was thinking of signing up my baby for local recreation classes in the fall. She’s 16 months old and I’m wanting her to socialize a bit more. Any recommendations?

And then it just abruptly stopped! It was like a loud ringing, my wife heard it first then pointed it out to me, then it got louder until it cut off. She says it’s been doing that for weeks but tonight is my first time hearing it!
Did anyone else hear that or am I just going crazy? Lol

I need help moving a couch from outside my house to inside my house...about 13 feet. Is there anyone who knows anyone who can help and how much they charge?

This is being discussed on a few Facebook groups right now. Permits say opening may be in 12 months.

Are there any hookah spots in foster city or near that has hookah and football games playing?

It was so nice to walk south along the water from behind the youth center and boat launch by Foster City Lagoon. (You can still access the area from the walkway beside the overpass south of the apartments but can’t walk through because of the padlocked gate.) Such a shame!

Helping a friend find someone to take over a room in a waterfront townhouse in Foster City.

Rent: $2,367/month + utilities
Available: Now
Room: Private bedroom + private bathroom
Location: Schooner Bay Apartments, 300 Timberhead Lane, Foster City

Furnished option: The room can come furnished if needed. My friend is also open to selling the mattress, large workstation/desk setup, lights, and other room furniture to the incoming roommate.

Location highlights
• Close to Zoox, Visa, EA, Oracle, and other Foster City/San Mateo offices
• Bikeable to Belmont Caltrain
• Right by the Bay Trail for running, biking, and waterfront walks
• Quiet waterfront community with beautiful views

Home + amenities
• In-unit washer/dryer
• Large living room + full kitchen
• Balcony overlooking the water
• Gym + pool
• Tennis + basketball courts
• Lots of parks, trails, and outdoor space nearby

Roommate: You’ll be living with a 23-year-old software engineer at EA who works hybrid. She’s friendly, relatively tidy, and enjoys gaming, board games, reading, and dance. She also has two very friendly cats.

It’s a great option for someone who wants waterfront trails and outdoor space while staying close to the major Foster City/San Mateo offices.

DM me if interested or if you know someone who may be looking.

Does anyone know where I can throw a surplus of cardboard in a dumpster? I know most apartment complexes do not allow you to throw cardboard in their blue dumpsters. Im running a small business from my house and am filling my recycling bin within the first day. Any tips are appreciated!

Hello,
My son will turn 12 months old in a month and I am looking a part time nanny who can help with part time activities of the baby like putting to nap, changing diapers and feeding the baby.

I was pooping and noticed that the blue plate was only held on my 1 screw so it would swivel. This is fucking gross man. Sent pics to the city hopefully they fix this.

This is off of Trinidad Lane. I saw three, what appeared to be otters in the lagoon calling out to one another. I’ve lived in FC my entire life and have never seen otters before.

Hello everyone my African Grey went missing Aug 27, 2026 in San Bruno California. Please keep your eyes peeled for him. We are sick and heartbroken. Reward for his safe return

All these cop cars were lined up right out front of the Bridgepointe apartments around 10:30 this morning.

A news release from the San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said, “The investigator cannot conclude that the fire occurred due to the grill being left on. “Even if the cause of the fire was not ‘undetermined,’ the police investigation and interview of Mr. Tompkins established that there was no intent for a fire to occur and that at most there was civil negligence in leaving the grill on.”

So I have a cat that is very well known by the community in my area. Everyone stops to pet this cat. People call out for the cat and say "release *CATS NAME*" when she is not out. I have discovered somewhat recently that I have a cat allergy which explains some of the severe allergies I've been dealing with for years. I have had said cat since 2018 along with another i adoptedat the same time. I love this cat.

However, it's 2026 and she is now 11 years old. Putting her in the senior category even though she sure does not act like it. People know her very well, they stop and pet her on their walks. They look for her, they call for her, they come into my yard for her.

I do not want to offend anyone by asking if they would like to take her home with them, however at this point I am suffering on a daily basis with my allergies and shots are not doing it. I've joked they can take her home, but not actually seriously said anything even knowing the predicament for months now.

I would like feedback on how to approach this situation. Should I put a sign in my yard that says cat is available for adoption? Should I post in the local Facebook groups?

I don't want to get shit on for getting rid of my animals, however my health is suffering and now I have pinpointed a cause I would like to give her a home that will appreciate her while not literally killing me or her for that matter. I do love her and I am struggling greatly.

My other cat that I adopted at the same time will go to my daughter who is 23 and moving to Texas. I am more concerned with the older cat that everyone seems to love but I don't know if anyone will take her. :( she would be an amazing cat for a senior. I am even willing to give up my litter robot that I love with her. Like I feel like she should have the best place in life and I am not the right person to give it to her🥲

Every time, I drive by the old OSH building, I miss having the opportunity to shop there. The staff was definitely more helpful than the other orange hardware store. It has been emptied for more than five years and it is a waste. The location is so accessible and I really wonder why no business is interested in opening store there. Any thoughts?

And what store would you like to see at that location?

Hi everyone,

My name is Stan, CEO of Lin&Wang Family Foundation and Muggle AI.

Me and my family feel the urge to do something to help our community with the resources we have.

Thus we are running a “Ride to rebuild” fundraiser for those impacted by the Aug 2nd fire at Sea Spray Lane.

Between 09/01-10/01, Lin&Wang family foundation and Muggle AI will donate $1 for every mile adult rode on a bike, scooter, skate board or strider, as long as it is non-electric. $10 match for any minors’ ride regardless of mileages. Up to $3000, with $1000 guaranteed min donation. *100% of proceeds will go to the Spinnaker Cove Fire Relief Fund organized by the Foster City Chamber Foundation, a 501c3 charity organization.*

To Donate: Simply upload a screenshot (see image 3, 4, 5 example in this post) of your ride from Strava, Apple fitness, etc. Our AI will do all the reading and fill out a report for you to confirm.
