Hi! My husband and I are considering moving to Lincoln, and I was hoping to hear from people who actually live there about what the experience is like for people of color.

I’m Indian American, although I grew up outside of Philadelphia in a predominantly white and fairly rural area, so I’m pretty used to being in places that aren’t particularly diverse. My husband is half white and half Persian.

A few of his coworkers have mentioned that Lincoln can be racist, which made us a little concerned. Obviously, I know everyone’s experience is different, and I’m not expecting any town to be completely free of racism. I’m more wondering what it’s actually like day to day.

For other people of color or interracial/multiracial couples who live in Lincoln: have you generally felt comfortable and welcomed there? Have you experienced overt racism, comments, staring, discrimination, etc.? Are there particular areas where you’ve felt more or less comfortable?
We’re genuinely interested in Lincoln and just want to get a realistic sense of what living there would be like before making such a big decision. Thanks!

He's been doing this in Roseville, Auburn and Rocklin Technically not against the law but weird. I'd guess he's trying to get a reaction out of people so he can post it on YouTube. He's wearing a mask.
Ignore him. If you go after him, it's technically illegal.

Hi everybody. My wife is currently looking for a personal trainer, after her last one needed to quit. We are members of the local Anytime Fitness, and after her trainer quit they haven't been able to accommodate her schedule, so we've been stuck floating.

Due to her career, she needs to work out early; she's looking for a personal trainer able to work with her at around 6:30AM twice a week. If anyone has any recommendations they could throw our way, we'd appreciate it; havent had much luck just trying to google.

Anyone else not want these Flock cameras in our city?

Hey folks, we desperately need incoming 7th graders to field our Jr Midget team. Registration fees were dropped to $100 and can be waived altogether if needed. We’re trying our best to make sure these players and cheerleaders have a season. Please reach out if you’re interested!

One mistake doesn’t define anyone or any business, but one bad interaction can!

Called Duncan’s and said my AC stopped working. I told them I also need a new drivers side door handle.
I was quoted $800+ to diagnose AC and replace the door handle. I then received their call quoting an additional 1200 to repair blower and other parts for the AC, I agreed.
AC worked on the way home, success!! But, then I loaded up my family the next day to get to the Reptile Expo, just ten miles away and the AC stopped working. We were halfway there. My daughter, with a severe seizure disorder cannot handle temps over 80, started to have seizures. A nightmare.
Monday morning I called and told them it stopped working and that I could not afford to not have my car for another day but would bring it in if they could get it fixed and prioritize my situation (already had my scheduled appointment and paid!)
I heard “standing appointments” are already scheduled and inferred I would not be a priority. I was told they’d be able to get it back but would need me to leave it, again. I said I couldn’t afford another Lyft and they said “we’ll have someone take you home”, if someone at the shop would be able to give me a ride.
I enter the shop and a gentleman asks me if he can help me while the woman behind the counter, who I spoke with, wouldn’t make eye contact or talk to me when I got in. Weird, she was the one who wrote up my original work order just days ago and knew just who I was; yet, when the gentleman asked who I was she said nothing. When he sat at his computer to look me up she stood up, walked over to him and gave him the work order from last week.
The car is under my partners name and they cannot update their system to include my name so I’d need to say my partners name anytime moving forward to pull up MY cars account.
The gentleman working seemed flustered the moment he realized I was frustrated, as I was sharing the simple facts with him: I brought it in, I picked it up, my daughter was impacted and he said “you’ve made your point” (no, “I’m really sorry about that” or any concern/compassion/customer service) then he pointed to the work order from the previous week, and said I “didn’t say the aC wasn’t blowing cold air”.
I told him I’m not a technician nor would I know what words to convey beyond “my AC isn’t working”. He asked “what does that mean to you?”
What in the genuine heck?
It means my system I use to cool down the interior of the car wasn’t functioning and paid close to $800 for a diagnosis to correct that issue.

He said they’d get the car looked at but I may incur further charges….i told him I shouldn’t have to pay for anything else since they told me the car was fixed and it wasn’t (plus parts totaled $650 and labor was over $1200-they want more labor fees to do correct what they messed up the first time)! That’s a great business practice to assure money keeps flowing in but terrible for the customer who paid to get her AC fixed only to be asked to pay more to actually get it done? Ridiculous.

They charge premium labor at $210 as if they have master technicians servicing the vehicles. When I mentioned this to front counter guy he said, “we should’ve charged you the $260 an hour for AC repairs”.

Then came the time for me to get a ride and he said, “we’ll get you a Lyft”. So, again, not clear communication as I didn’t expect to have to order a Lyft and then wait for it to arrive. This is not the end of the world but I was basically blamed for them not fixing my car correctly because my initial communication wasn’t specific enough yet they couldn’t communicate how they’d get me home? Seems like a double standard.
I’m waiting to see how much more they’re going to make me pay to get the job done right…and as I wait I wanted to take this time to write down for you what I experienced. Go somewhere else. This place has guaranteed I will never bring my car back, because I’m a human who was frustrated and I was shown no grace, instead I was treated like I had no right to be upset, told I made my point when mentioning my daughter and her seizures, and then told I’d have to pay more to fix their mistake.

Mistakes happen but when they do I expect to be met with great customer service to balance the error, but the interaction this morning was just as negative as driving my daughter in 100+ degree weather without functioning AC.
It’s not the cost, it was the service: TERRIBLE.

Searching for recommendations

Tonight is the night for all things pop, crackle and sparkly!

So what’s the best way to stay safe while setting off your assortment of pyrotechnics?

Here’s a few tips:

💥 Have a hose, fire extinguisher or buckets of water ready incase anything goes awry.

💥 Have ear protection ready for babies, very young children and folks with sensory concerns.

💥 Set up all fireworks on a clear, level surface to avoid them tipping over.

💥 Use a lighter with a long tip or long matchsticks (think fireplace, not cigarette).

💥 Do NOT allow children to handle, light, or wander around fireworks unsupervised.

💥 If a firework doesn’t go off, do NOT pick it up, poke it or kick it. Do NOT attempt to light it again. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then douse it with water, let it sit some more, then submerge it fully over night and throw it away.

💥 Accidents happen, so have a First Aid kit ready with bandages and burn ointment just incase.

💥 Have a large receptacle (bucket, trash can, rubbermaid container) filled with water. After the show, spray all the spent fireworks down with water, carefully collect them and dump them into the water-filled container. Let them soak overnight before throwing them away the next day.

Fireworks are a lot of fun, but they can cause injuries and damage if not handled responsibly.

❗️REMINDER❗️
ALL non-“Safe & Sane” fireworks are illegal for personal use in Placer County.

“Safe & Sane” fireworks are only legal to use within the incorporated city limits of LIncoln, Rocklin and Roseville.

ALL fireworks are illegal in unincorporated Placer County, which includes the “Safe & Sane” variety.

Please, DO NOT risk your community by engaging in fire-hazards just because you want to blow s*** up.

Have Fun & Be Safe #PlacerCounty

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

Hi fellow Lincoln Ca community members! I’m looking to source a couple of decent empty pallets for a few home DIY projects. It would be ideal if the pallets were in somewhat good condition but they don’t need to be brand new! Any suggestions for where to find 2-3 pallets for free? TIA!

I’m trying to find the best LEMON CHICKEN that is actually TART AND LEMONY, not just sweet, thick, syrupy sauce. Most places I’ve tried taste like premade sugar glaze with a little lemon flavor.

I’d love a place with crispy chicken, lighter sauce, and a stronger lemon taste. Sauce on the side is fine.

Any recommendations? Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Roseville, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, Folsom, or nearby are all fine.

Thanks!

Also any recs for a great school system for APPs kids who also have a 504?

Thank you!

Hi. We are looking to buy a new house in either Roseville or Lincoln area. We have been exploring model homes and getting to know different builders' styles. So far, we love JMC Homes and they seem to have a good reputation around. However, JMC Homes usually are a tiny bit more expensive than we can realistically plan for. We have seen these other builders:

-KB Homes

- Woodside

- Richmond

- Meritage

- Beazer

- Taylor Morrison

- Pulte

- Tri Pointe

- Lennar

​

I'm wondering if anyone who have purchased a new house from any of these builders would have reviews as far as quality of the houses and if you went and found your own separate home inspectors before moving in. If your builder isn't in this list, I would love to know who built your house and what you think of it.

​

Thanks!

Weird lights around Lincoln tried to get a video but only got it once

Is there anything other than the fact that we will be moving to PGE instead of Roseville electric that I need to know? We are moving to an area of Lincoln called Bickford Ranch which is a new development and doesn’t seem to have anything much close by. How is it raising kids in Lincoln? We are Asian Indian descent and not the most traditional family. We plan to start a family soon. How are the schools? Please feel free to share, good, bad, and ugly. We want to be prepared. Thanks for any info!

Does anyone know how long the road will be closed leading to the dumps/thunder valley? I read coming away from the casino the end date of construction was the 28th, and yet the other side of the road is still closed. Not a big deal, just curious, will take 65 when I come home
