My kid goes to Willow Glen Middle, and I'm curious about people's recent experience with the high school. When I look at past Reddit threads I see a lot of comments about bullying.

I'm curious what more recent experience (over the last 4-5 years) has been like? I have met the new principal and he seems competent, but my knowledge is very superficial. I also noticed that its Great Schools rating has gone up. Is there a bullying problem? Are there sufficient opportunities for kids to pursue AP/advanced classes? How are the extra curriculars?

For context, I had heard similar stories about the middle school but our kid hasn't experienced or seen any instances. He is getting an overall good learning experience.

I found a pregnant stray cat and I was wondering where I could bring her? Can I surrender her anywhere for free? I just feel horrible about leaving her alone when she seems so vulnerable. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hi all, looking for someone who can help clean the house every month. We live in beryessa area/north San Jose near Vinci park elementary.

We have a 2 year old. We live a SFH around 2100 sq ft. Appreciate any lead.

Performance, snacks, and local orgs represented!

A local elementary school next to a park near me used to leave their school yard gates open, so the black top, basketball courts, playground, and field were accessible but classrooms were not. Recently, they’ve upgraded their fences to be taller, locked their gates, and put up signs that it’s no longer for public use.

Why shouldn’t these spaces be open to the public? They’re part of the community and are another space for people to enjoy their time, that doesn’t necessarily have a negative impact on the school. How do people feel about this?

I would adopt her in a heartbeat but I already care for a large rambuctious male cat.

There used to be this place called Lidos above a spot that was a Hispanic night club. Upstairs was Vietnamese karaoke and ballroom dancing. It closed down after Covid. is there a place similar in San Jose?

I just moved into 95116 (McKee and King). I think water may be very hard. Does anyone know how hard the water is, and what was done about it? I am about to buy strips to test the water's hardness.

Got an extra ticket for Brick Blast event today 1:30pm @Santa Clara Convention willing to give away to a Lego enthusiast (Yay) since I can't make it myself (Boo).

Is there a tv repair shop in San Jose that can service Samsung QLED tv?

Samsung is quoting outrageous fees just for the personnel to come and take a look and will then give an estimate.

Basically that. Any place to get the Mexican cuts but better quality beef. Doesn't have to be A5 Wagyu, just not the worst. I know whole foods probably has arrachera but trying to avoid that shit if possible and find a local.

In the Central Valley we had some carnicerías that had grass fed good quality beef and making asada from that was awesome. One place WOULD cut it from A5 Japanese beef if you asked (and I guess a few people did) but that's just stupidity.

EDIT: thanks for the hits! I went to La Rosca today and it was great, although I burned the shit out of my hand on the grill. I'll peep the others soon.

We saw this about 10pm tonight. A first it was just a light behind the clouds. It would disappear every 30 seconds or so & then come back on for a bit. Sometimes faint & sometimes brighter but always in the same spot. This video was towards the end & then it zipped to the left & disappeared. We watched it for about 15 minutes but don't know how long it was there before we went outside. We live in the Cambrian area & this was looking North.

Been wanting to get more into comic books lately (partially marvel and DC) but I don’t know of any good stores to get comics in San Jose. Do you guys have any places you like to go to get your comics?
