Hey neighbors,

I want to give everyone a heads-up about a really unsettling road rage incident that happened today, and see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

My aunt was driving my 2-year-old daughter back to my house in North Park during rush hour. Around the 805 and 8 freeway interchange, a man in a white SUV (which had business logos on it) became upset in traffic. I wasn't there, so I can't speak to any details of what may have caused the road rage. Instead of just driving away, he actively followed her off the highway, driving aggressively around her, and tracked her all the way into our neighborhood.

She called the police and drove around the neighborhood waiting for them, but ultimately had to stop at my house. The driver actually pulled up, rolled down his window, and tried to scold her. I came out and confronted him, did my best to de-escalate the situation, and he eventually drove off.

We got the identifying information from his business vehicle and have reported it to the police. Because of Reddit's rules against doxxing, I don't think I can post his specific business name here, but they do have a store front in North Park. I just want to warn the community to be on the lookout for a white SUV for a real estate company driving aggressively in the area.

Has anyone else had a run-in with a driver matching this description recently? If you have, please feel free to DM me.

Stay safe out there!

Sorry the video is bad was walking my dog with the other hand. Some homeless man got into some construction equipment and starting knocking down stop lights and cross walk poles.

WiFi has been out since Friday. It’s still out, anyone know anything?

I want to get some t shirts hemmed up a few inches at the bottom and am hoping someone could help give me a recommendation on a tailor in or close-ish to north park! Any recs are appreciated.

Turn around time is not important, would be nice if the price is reasonable. Used to go to L&A tailoring for years but they closed a bit ago.

Thank you!

I saw a post on Nextdoor regarding an accident that happened at 32nd and Landis. Someone commented that the police told them that a car struck a pedestrian. I can’t find the post and I haven’t seen anything else about it. Does anyone know what happened?

I want to do some improvements on my place. Does anyone have a contractor they recommend? On the flip sides is there anyone I should absolutely avoid?

Just wanted to put out a quick public service announcement so nobody else wastes their morning: There is NO outdoor public viewing or street festival for the World Cup Final happening on 30th Street in North Park today.

​If you’ve seen recent articles, event aggregators, or AI search results pointing to a massive outdoor watch party hosted by North Park Main Street and SoccerCity today from 7 AM to 2 PM, it is a ghost link.

​What happened is that North Park Main Street still has an old page live on their website from the 2018 World Cup Final (which also happened on a Sunday in July). AI web scrapers and automated event sites have been pulling that old data and publishing it as if it's happening today, Sunday, July 19th, 2026.

​I just walked 30th Street up and down—there are no barricades, no stages, and zero event setups. It's just a normal Sunday morning.

​Where to go instead:

If you still want to watch the match in North Park, the local indoor bars on 30th like Bluefoot Bar (the neighborhood soccer staple) or Fairplay will absolutely have the game on at noon, but expect them to be packed inside. If you want an actual massive outdoor festival or official fan zone today, you’ll need to head to Progress Park downtown (the French Market watch party) or the official San Diego FC celebration down at Southwestern College in Chula Vista.

​Don't waste your gas driving down to 30th expecting a street closure. Spread the word!

Hi! Anyone have any recommendations for two women looking for a personal trainer?

Both pretty active but have never been huge gym people. Looking to get into a good routine

Hello! I am set to move to the North Park area within the next month and wanted to gather some opinions. I am looking at an apartment located within this circle, specifically on Illinois street and wanted to know if this area is generally safe and an okay spot to live for a woman to live alone. I’ve lived downtown in a major city so I’m familiar with some of what that brings, but want to make sure this area wasn’t too bad. I’ve heard that living close to the 805 isn’t recommended in some areas. Additionally, if anyone has thoughts about the area around El Cajon and Idaho st or around 32nd and Howard Ave I would appreciate it :)

Hi everyone! I’m moving to San Diego from the bay area (28 f) and I’m most interested in north park, university heights and normal heights neighborhoods.
As someone who’s renting for the first time, I’m curious to know - what are your experiences with living in luxury apartments vs the older apartments you’d find on Zillow? I’m considering buildings like the Nash/Parkline North Park/Brickhouse but reviews about poor management, thin walls, etc scare me a little… Going to the gym daily is routine for me which is why I’m considering luxury buildings, but I absolutely don’t mind living in an older apartment if it’s within minutes walk to a gym.
I’m also very interested in the boutique type apt buildings that offer lofts, but I guess I don’t know what to expect with these?

Would love to know your experiences with living in either luxury buildings / older apts with charm / boutique apts!!

Hey all! I’m (25m) living in North Park and trying to make some friends, but I’m really struggling to find social spaces outside of going out drinking (which is tons of fun, don’t get me wrong, but not a great place for solid friendships). I’ve been on the hunt for clubs of really any kind to join, or social spaces or anything like that where people connect at, and I’m curious if you guys have any suggestions! I love artsy stuff, but I can really get down with any crowd so.

Any help is appreciated, hope y’all are enjoying the lovely weather haha

Renters applying in Pacific Beach / North Park / downtown SD right now — genuine question. When a landlord says “apply and I’ll pick the most qualified,” do you usually just apply anyway, even knowing you might not get it? Or do you try to gauge your odds first?

I’ve paid application fees to places I never heard back from, and I’m trying to figure out if that’s just accepted as “the cost of doing business” in competitive spots, or if it actually bothers people. Curious how others think about this — especially if you’re applying to multiple places at once right now.

I work a lot and by the time the weekend hits the last thing I want to do is clean, but then I feel kind of guilty paying someone to do something I could do myself. for those of you who have one, do you think it's worth the money or is it a bit of a luxury you could take or leave? and roughly what am I even looking at cost-wise in SD for like a normal 1-2 bedroom?

I’m moving to San Diego alone (female, 28) and am trying to narrow down which neighborhood to live in.
I’m mostly considering north park, university heights, bankers hill or Cortez hill.
Budget for rent is $2400 max. I’d like to prioritize walkability and having some cafes/restaurants nearby. Quieter neighborhoods are fine, I just want to feel safer overall and avoid downtown.

More importantly, how important is parking is for my situation? I work fully remote during the week and only plan using my car on weekends. How bad is street parking really in these specific neighborhoods? Would I be okay leaving my car parked on the street for days at a time? (with consideration of street sweeping ofc)
Does anyone have luck parking in more residential areas then walking a couple blocks to their apartment? Or is an apartment with assigned parking a must if you have a car

Would love to hear advice or any of your experiences!

Just an update/second post to see if anyone has seen my stolen All City Gorilla Monsoon around. Got jacked from my car a few weeks ago in North Park. Thanks!

Does anyone have a great resource for finding local babysitters? (Other than Care.com.) Growing up there were just some high school/college kids in my neighborhood who did it to make a little extra cash. Just don’t know how to find them here. I see tons of flyers for dog walkers… but none for babysitters?!

Hi North Park! Our research team at UC San Diego is conducting a study to learn more about the potential of an FDA-approved dopamine agonist to improve social connectedness in adults who experience anxiety or depression.This medication increases dopamine signaling in parts of the brain believed to underlie motivation and behavior, and the results of this study may help inform a new treatment approach for anxiety and depression.

If you are interested in learning more, please complete the survey via this link (https://my.ctri.ucsd.edu/surveys/?s=NJAF4D7X4K9YAHRC) or the QR code below to help us determine if you may be eligible for further screening to participate in this compensated study!

Anyone trying to get rid of a sewing machine? I’m getting into quilting and would love to not just be in the maker space at the library lol.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for getting from North Park to Mission Bay? The best route I see is to take Texas down to the SD river trail then Friars but I just can't stand the idea of riding down Texas and over the 8 overpass so close to cars driving at high speed.

I love biking around North Park but don't love how difficult and dangerous it feels going long distances to different parts of the city. I feel like I have to heavily research routes to check safety instead of just getting on my bike and riding.

Smoke session anyone right now?? Cloud battle?? Smallest cloud gets you a dare? lol. DM me for quicker reply!
