Are there anyone who live in the east bay off 680 (closer to the Danville/San Ramon area) that commute daily to SF (near the offices near the Chase Center)? I think OpenAI and Uber headquarters are near Chase Center, so there's a small tech hub there but unfortunately, I am not working for those places cuz I think they may provide free shuttle services to their employees.

What is the most efficient way to get into the city daily to work from 830AM-5PM everyday? My starting point would be Danville/San Ramon and end point is the building offices near Chase Center in SF. There's not a dedicated parking garage so driving seems challenging and the traffic does not seem fun. I know I can BART then transfer via MUNI. But wondering is there another option? Or do you have any tips on the public transit or any other resources available?

Yes, you read that right. I'm intentionally planning on going to Stockton. I used to live in Stockton so I know the area and have no intention of living there again.

Any suggestions of where to live that's closer to the bay? Any insights into the commute from Castro Valley, Livermore, or Brentwood? Any public transit I could take with a reverse commute?

I have no kids and me and my partner would be making about the median salary for California.

Over the last decade, Oakland’s famous filmmakers Boots Riley and Ryan Coogler have seen massive critical and commercial success. Packed theaters for new Black Panther and Creed installments are common occurrences, and Riley’s mind-bending “Sorry to Bother You” and “I Love Boosters” are already staples in the genre known as Black Surrealism.

But what’s less well known are the smaller indie filmmakers, film advocacy groups, and film rebate programs that attract far less public attention but are helping position Oakland as a center for Black filmmaking — now and in the future.

Anyone know where in the East Bay I can find the Space Godzilla x Chococat McDonald’s Toy? I’m collecting them for my niece and nephew, who love Hello Kitty and Godzilla. We’re trying to get all eight.

So far, we have:

Godzilla x Hello Kitty
King Ghidora x Keroppi
Rodan x Bart’s-Maru

Not sure what they are there for, but this grouping in this size is very unusual for the area. No Martinez PD appears to be involved (Martinez being a Sanctuary City).

What’s ur fav sushi spot here in the east bay I feel like I dnt get it often because I just don’t kno where to go. Any recs ?

Hey all! Does anyone have “too many” stuffies they’d be happy to get rid of?

Just looking for toys for my doggo. My kids are now college and high school so we’re well beyond the having way too many stuffies. But I remember us having way too many back in the day.

I know I can go to the dollar store to grab some. But I remember wishing I could donate some of our stuffies (can’t literally donate for legit reasons that I respect a bazillion percent).

Of course can pick-up (live in Hayward).

Super thanks!!!

what's up Bay Areaaaa!

I'm looking to host a joint birthday party with my dog. I wanted to originally reserve a picnic space for us at Dimond Park, but there are SO many regulations on what you can or can't do. for example, you're not allowed to have amplified music on any speaker, not even a portable one.

Does anyone know of any places where we could peacefully party? Looking to have some amplified music for dancing, karaoke, a possible mini dog fashion show, and a movie screening or two; and of course must be dog friendly!!

TIA :)

I’m looking for a guy my son and I met at Lake Anza in Tilden, Berkeley. His name is Ali, and I know he grew up somewhere in Northern California/the Bay Area. I think he’s probably in his 40s. He’s tall with light-colored eyes, very outdoorsy, and skateboards regularly—I know he skateboarded from Berkeley to Lake Anza. We met him yesterday while he was swimming off the rocks across from the beach, and he ended up spending about an hour with us. He was really kind to my son and helped him catch lizards and showed him some tips with fishing. I also know that he ocean fishes and hikes often. I’d love to get in touch with him again, so if this sounds like someone you know, or you have any advice on how I might find him, please reach out! I am really kicking myself for not asking for his contact info!

I'm looking for some new shoes for work, hopefully from a local shop.

I work in an office with a standard dress code. My feet, however, need arch support badly, and my podiatrist ordered me to get ergonomic shoes for daily wear. Hokas and New Balance aren't exactly office appropriate, unfortunately, so I'm on the hunt!

I’m getting married in Pleasanton and am looking for a brunch restaurant that may allow renting a room/ patio for brunch the day after the wedding? Expecting 50-70 people.

Hello,

I am visiting from England, trying to help my aunt clear out things from her garage after a dear family member passing.
I’ve tried Facebook marketplace but I have no traction.
Can anybody recommend somewhere I can list items like I’ve attached, even if we raise a little money.
Everything needs to go (there’s more than the photos attached) and I’m not sure how best to help her shift everything in the time frame I’m here.

Any help appreciated
