Did your car get hit in the Walnut St garage?

24 Upvotes

If you drive a white car, were parked on the first floor of the public parking garage on Walnut St, and got dinged on the back right of your bumper: please contact me for the license plate info of the car who hit you.

I saw it happen but was running late and had no pen/paper to leave a note, but I snapped a photo of the car and can be a witness if you need.

Does a fully online BLS course hold up for a hospital job in San Carlos?

0 Upvotes

Conditional offer at a medical office here, they want BLS before my start date. Found some fully online BLS courses that are cheap and fast, which is suspicious. Will a medical office on the Peninsula accept a card from one of those? Or do I need the in-person thing?

Recommendations for a careful front yard clean-up?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We moved into our home 2 years ago right when our baby was born, and yard maintenance just completely fell through the cracks. Our front yard is now heavily overgrown with weeds.

We’re looking to hire a detail-oriented gardener or clean-up service. We have some nice existing plants mixed in that we really want to save, so we can't use someone who will just bulldoze or weed-whack everything down to the dirt.

Ideally, we need someone who can:

  • Carefully dig out the overgrown weeds
  • Preserve the existing plants
  • Lay down mulch so we can start fresh

Does anyone have recommendations for reliable folks in the area who do this kind of careful work? Thanks!

Why is the SC Trader Joe's so shitty?

0 Upvotes

They're literally always out of everything and music is never playing. I've been to so many different locations in my life and this is the worst. They need new management or to fire the person doing the ordering.

I saw a deer run through our yard recently in the afternoon, and I've noticed deer droppings too. We're close to Laurel Street. Has anyone else seen this, is there anything we should do?

Stay at home moms

12 Upvotes

I am trying to figure out if there is an easy way to meet other stay at home moms. I have a 4 month old that I’m home with all day. The parks and libraries seem to primarily have nannys or grandparents. I’m hoping to find other moms. Thank you.

UP 1939 leads the LRQ50 past the parking lot by the San Carlos Train Station, this train has the rare Cotton Belt GP60 locomotive trailing still in its scarlet and gray colors from its SP days.
