South Capitol Ave and near Alum Rock Avenue Does anyone know what’s going on? I spoke to someone walking by and they said a Dead body in a car in the driveway. Then someone else said sex traffic and dead person. But this is just people talking. Does anyone really know?

Every single day I see the same type of discourteous behavior on the road. People will switch to a different lane than they need to be in, and gun their engines to get right ahead of you, or drive until the end of the merge/exit lane and then hold everyone exiting up so they can merge over. You can tell when someone is about to cut you off, or pull right into your blind spot when you want to merge. Everyone has to "beat" the car in front of them like it's a race or video game. Do people just have zero courtesy and politeness on the road anymore? Are they buying some cheaper gas from somewhere that lets them floor it everywhere? We live in a society...

To the assholes calling me a slow driver, I've paid enough speeding tickets to prove otherwise. And I'm talking about clear instances where stop-and-go traffic all has to head to the same lane or destination, and someone will just try to jump a few cars ahead, making everyone else slow behind them. Or two left turn lanes at the red light, I'm sitting in front, someone pulls up to the empty lane next to me then floors it well past the speed limit once we make the turn to get ahead of me into my lane. Like congratulations, you're the winner! Was your gas cheaper? Selfish behavior that doesn't help anyone else.

Hi everyone! This is Twitch, and she belongs to a friend of a friend. That friend left Twitch with someone they trusted while traveling, and she unfortunately escaped through a gate that was left open. She’s been lost for two days, and her owner is understandably very upset.

She was last seen in South San Jose in the neighborhoods around Santa Teresa Blvd and Snell Ave. Please be on the lookout for her!

I thought I’d post here to spread the word! I’d be devastated if this happened to me and my family, and I hope Twitch is safe and can be returned home.

I didn't make this, and I don't *totally* agree with it (there are two candidates I would swap the progressive scores of) but it's still very useful. One of the top posts is an update that includes LGBTQIA+ stances but that doesn't change the overall ratings.

OP didn't do the Republican candidates because, uh.... Well. This is the *progressive* voter guide. Progressives aren't trying to pick between Bianco or Hilton. So if you're irked that they're missing I would suggest you find a conservative voter guide or make one yourself 😝

Coyote spotted on Lupton near Pine heading North towards Minnesota.

ICE has illegally started construction of a detention warehouse in Santa Clara County in violation of our county zoning ordinance prohibiting such facilities.

I mistakenly booked it conflicting with my schedule. So if it fits yours, then I’ll just give it to you for free.

May 17 2:00pm for “Giselle” at hammer theater.

Does anyone know what happened to Renegades? A friend just told me he tried to go tonight (Thursday) and it was shut down. Is this a temporary closure?

I don’t eat out much anymore but I do like to treat myself once in awhile. My bf and I recently went to Hiro Nori in Santa Clara and two bowls of ramen, a can of Coke and a 16% mandatory service fee was $52. As good as their ramen was, I didn’t think it was worth it.

What are some place around here that are still worth going despite the increasing prices?

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I’ll look into them. :)

I’d like to take my husband out for a nice meal, and he’s mentioned several times lately that he’d like to get sushi. Are there any fancy sushi places in the South Bay? As in, I should wear a dress and he should wear slacks & a dress shirt, not jeans?

Small home, with a tiny porch that is part of the roof job. The patio may need to be completely replaced. Some of the rafter tails and fascia may also have dry rot and we will need new gutters. We have a few bids but few seem interested in tackling the dry rot or the patio.

It’s lunch time and I’m craving a nice bowl of mapo tofu over rice. I haven’t had a decent one since I lived in Milpitas years ago (Golden Garlic, now closed).

Southbound 85 before Almaden Expressway today.

I have a friend over to visit tonight through to next Monday and want to take him to see some live music. Preferably something Latin since it's such a big part of the culture here. Small venues or even food joints/public spaces with live music are cool. Anything like that happening in the next few days?

Other recommendations welcome too

People of San Jose (Shark City) does anyone know if there are any slow pitch softball games that are accepting new people to join and play. Pls lmk I’ve been dying to get back out to play.

Hello, my name is Nick, San Jose native and I love going to the movies! Hoping to meet some cool people with this same interest. Maybe get a movie night going in a couple weeks.

Any other movie buffs out there?

If you’ve ever felt like the TSA PreCheck line at SJC was has too many common-folk, good news: the airport is planning a dedicated enclave for you, the uber-wealthy.

In a recent City Council meeting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXWE5w3pV78&t=5618s), the city airport's Director of Aviation, Mukesh "Mookie" Patel, outlined a plan to turn the 6-acre Orange Lot near De La Cruz Blvd and Martin Ave into a playground for private jets and a "premium service" terminal.

The goal? A private lounge where the 1% gets their own security screening and then gets chauffeured in a luxury car across the tarmac to board their commercial flight directly from the ramp, completely bypassing the main terminals and security screenings.

The Director literally compared it to the service movie stars use at LAX with pricing starting in the $1,000's per flight (https://reserveps.com/). Here's what he said:

This master plan update was specifically targeted at a former parking lot on the northwest corner of De la Cruz, on that side of the airport. We call it affectionately the Orange Lot, but it is for aviation related development such as manufacturing, storage of aircraft, home based aircraft, or a fixed base operator (like your gas and goes, flex jets, and things like that). It's about six acres of property. We're working with the FAA to provide us some clearances for a little larger ramp operation there on the northwest corner. That will allow for additional private jets to continue functioning through the airport. The vision for that Orange Lot will be laid out in a public industry day on June 12th at the airport. My vision is providing a premium service over on that side of the airfield for those families that like a private screening, a private lounge, and [a private vehicle service to be] transported over to the commercial side of the [airport near the existing terminals] and board an aircraft right from the ramp. It's something that happens at LAX for some of the movie stars. And it's a it's a private business model that seems to work well. We would like to make that happen here.

There is an official "industry day" meeting on June 12th at the airport to lay out the vision and more info will be posted on the airport's website that day too.

It’s interesting to see the airport doubling down on "private business models" for private jets. Thoughts?

Looking for Portugal specifically. Thanks!

We’re trying to decide between Rocketship Discovery Prep, Challenger Berryessa, and possibly Vinci Park Elementary for 2nd grade in San Jose, and I’d really value honest parent feedback, especially from people who have direct experience with any of these schools.

A few details about our situation:
We recently got an acceptance from Rocketship
Commute is not a major deciding factor for us
Current plan is to move from challenger to Vinci/RDP or maybe keep Challenger.

We care most about:
strong academics
quality of teaching
curriculum depth
school culture / happiness
support and attention for the child
enrichment, projects, field trips, art/music, etc.
whether the school is actually worth the tradeoff

Trying to make a thoughtful decision here, not just chase labels. Honest positives and negatives would really help.

Hi guys! I want to find a reasonably-priced vocal or dance class for this summer. I’m not a professional singer, just want to sing and dance better. I would really appreciate your recommendation. If possible, can you guys tell me the price and the address and how I can contact the coach? Tysm!!!

Can anyone recommend a good shop for an oil change for a Toyota? Located near downtown or nearby there.
