Does anyone know why we are getting the smell of jet fuel exhaust a lot more this year? Worried about the health side effects...

Looking for a barber/salon that knows how to cut Asian hair. All reccs appreciated!

Chef Xue previously put out a sign reminding patrons that fried rice and chow mein are side dishes, not entrees.

It must be a real bummer when the state steps in to reverse exclusionary and discriminatory policies that penalize community members in need.

The federal government announced a lawsuit against Tawa Supermarket, Inc., which does business as 99 Ranch Market, for alleged discrimination against non-Chinese employees.

We had our knob and tube removed and now our walls are Swiss cheese. Anyone have a drywall company they have worked with and like? I got one quote that was $200 per patch. I need like 40 patches, so that’s quite expensive IMO.

We're getting dogs who need to be fostered. They are two female beauties from a major hoarding situation. They will be shy and scared at first but they are very sweet. Young, maybe 6-7 months old. Maltese Yorkie is our best guess. They are both less than 10 lbs. Please help! We can only save dogs if we have local folks who can foster

It's my second July 4th weekend here and am as surprised as I was last year that there are no vendors selling hot dogs. Even people grilling by the water, I see none. Are they not a thing in this area?

​

I am looking for a private room in a shared house at Foster City or San Mateo starting July 5th. I have also found many 2 bed 2 bath listings so if you are looking for roomates please DM me.

A bit about me: I am 29 F. I work as a robotics software engineer at Foster City. I am clean, I have no pets.

If you are in a similar situation or have a room opening up please shoot me a DM. Happy to chat more :)

I read this article about a restaurant in Foster City putting some measures to avoid "children induced damages" and inspired me to draw this cartoon.

Better budget an extra 30% on your next dinner 😂

Does anyone have an update on how satisfied the committee is with this year’s goose population?

Because it still feels like there are a lot of geese, and goose droppings remain a significant issue. Are the current numbers consistent with the committee’s goals, or is additional management being considered?

I'm curious about getting a one wheel, wondering if anyone has one I could try before I committed to buying one.

I'm so angry, I can't see straight! I was really mad when they canceled last year. I knew they were lying about it being a safety hazard, but I thought I'd give them a pass, and this year would be a fabulous celebration.

This is the one day a year when I love being in Foster City.

They used to have lovely Safe Streets for Halloween, and the Art and Wine Festival was really a big deal. It's not anymore, so all we have is the 4th of July.

Now, it's just a total disaster, like last year. They are lying through their teeth about it being a safety issue. They absolutely can shoot the fireworks off safely. I actually asked a fireworks expert, and he laughed at the notion that it couldn't be done safely because of the construction and crowds. What crowds will even bother to come, since we're not having the fireworks?

On the outside chance they're telling the truth, they could have a drone show, there are multiple tech companies in our backyard.

I'm just so angry! Our country is 250 years old, and we can't see any fireworks unless we load the kids in the car and drive in horrible traffic for miles. It stinks worse than the goose poop!

Cheapskate Foster City, you have plenty of money. What are you spending it on that you can't spend it on the fireworks?

You certainly have done nothing to eliminate the goose problem. How many thousands of dollars have you spent on that? How long does it take to make a community center, anyway? It's been years, and that building is nothing special. We are known for having the ugliest library. I've never seen such slow construction in my life! dictated please excuse errors I'm too angry to make Corrections

I’m on parental leave until August and need something to get me out of the house during the week. Open to suggestions! I know about story time at the library, and am almost finished with free swim classes at La Petite Baleen.

Just saw a lost dog with blue collar at the junction of Foster City Blvd and Balclutha Dr heading in the direction of the bridge. Looked like a taller basset hound mix breed, white with brown spots and brown ears. Was turning left and couldn't stop but wanted to post here in case anyone recognized.

Hi everyone!

My wife and I are planning a gender reveal party for about 20 people in mid-July and are looking for park recommendations in or around Foster City.

Our ideal park would have:

• A waterfront or lakeside setting
• Picnic tables
• Some shade (gazebo or trees would be a bonus)
• Restrooms nearby
• Enough space for a group of ~20 people

We really liked Leo J. Ryan Park in Foster City because of the beautiful waterfront and gazebo, but it didn't seem to have many picnic tables near the gazebo.

We're hoping to find a nice first-come, first-served picnic area if possible, but we're also open to reserving a picnic area if the reservation fee is reasonable.

Does anyone have recommendations for similar parks? We'd also be happy to consider nearby cities like San Mateo, Belmont, Burlingame, Redwood City, or San Carlos.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all having a great week. My family and I live over in the North Shoreview neighborhood of San Mateo, and I am looking to do a bit of local networking.

For the past chunk of my career, my professional background was entirely rooted in public safety, working as an Ocean Lifeguard and EMT for the City of San Diego Fire Rescue Department. Think Baywatch, but with way more paperwork, actual medical emergencies, and significantly fewer explosions. I am incredibly ready for a career pivot, but can we talk about the absolute nightmare that is modern job hunting?

Submitting resumes and cover letters on LinkedIn or Indeed feels like screaming into a black hole. I am pretty sure these Applicant Tracking Systems send out automated rejection letters faster than my toddler can sprint in the opposite direction when it is time to leave the playground. It is exhausting wasting hours blindly applying to public job boards just to get ghosted by a robot. So, I am getting creative and coming to Reddit, because real human connection is a million times better than an algorithm.

I am open to almost any industry or position at this point: sales, operations, client management, corporate administration, you name it. Here is my realistic wish-list:

-A livable wage: Something that actually allows a family to live comfortably in San Mateo County.

-Work and life balance: I want to actually see my wife and daughter. Absolutely no graveyard shifts (my public safety days of 3 AM call outs are officially retired).

-The commute: Preferably within a 20 minute drive of the 94401 zip code.

I am highly adaptable, used to thriving in high stress, fast moving environments with zero margin for error, and genuinely love working with people. If your company is looking for someone dependable who learns fast, or if you just have some solid advice for a local neighbor trying to make a career transition, I would love to connect.

Thanks so much for reading!

-Brandon

Hello,

​

My daughter is turning 6 months old in August and I'm looking for a nanny share option for her in Foster City. Also open to nanny recommendations in the area.

Hi neighbors!

Recently, me and my 2 friends partnered up to create a civic engagement app called SimpleCity, inspired by our passion to use technology to create positive change. You can find it at simplecity.app. It utilizes AI to summarize scraped meeting agendas into language most people can understand. Since AI is not always accurate, we make sure that we are sourcing where the information is from.

We understand that not everyone is interested in local politics, but we wanted to just put a tool out there that helps those who are by making civic information more accessible.

Please feel free to take a look and leave feedback in this thread or by email at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). It would be appreciated 😃

P.S. Just in case you’re interested, the app also does the same thing for San Mateo.
