These healthy 9 week olds are vaccinated, spayed, & litter box trained. I have been fostering them through Garlic City Kitty Rescue for the past few weeks after they were found in a trailer park. Though timid, they are very sweet and cuddly if you give them lots of petting. They love to play and are not aggressive towards people at all. They need a loving home with patient & caring people. They have to be adopted together as they are a bonded pair. Located in Morgan Hill/Gilroy. Please comment here or send me a message if you are interested, or share this post with anyone you know who would consider adopting!

Help With Senior Project Regarding Gilroy Imrpovements

13 Upvotes

Giloryians (i got this term from the Gilroy's 2040 plan!) I'm a senior at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo working on my senior project, and I'm focusing on improving walkability in Gilroy, street improvements that benefit pedestrians and bikers, more social spaces, and connecting the city together for both walkers and bikers.

I want this project to actually reflect what residents experience day to day, so I'd love your input:

  • What streets in Gilroy would you like to see improved for walking and biking?
  • Any intersections that feel scary or unsafe to cross?
  • Roads where people usually speed?
  • Wide streets that feel like wasted space or could be redesigned?
  • Anything else you'd like to see more of in Gilroy? Here are some ideas I came up with:
    • More parks
    • Better walking/biking infrastructure
    • More shade along sidewalks
    • Open spaces for farmers markets or community gatherings

Gilroy has grown a lot, and there's been ongoing conversation about whether that growth is serving residents or just adding sprawl. I'd rather see the city invest in the everyday needs of the people who already live here (safe streets, real gathering spaces) before it keeps expanding outward.

Feel free to give opinions and any input every idea helps me figure out where the need is greatest. Thanks in advance, this genuinely helps my project and hopefully helps Gilroy too! :)

water usage

6 Upvotes

Anyone care to share their water usage numbers? I’m curious how mine compares. Family of 4 and Aquatrax says I’m using 20000 to 30000 gallons per month. Lawn is watered 2x per week and shrubs/trees 1x week on drip irrigation. Those number seem pretty high to me.

Independent filmmaker looking for a small farmhouse to shoot a horror film

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Good evening all. I'm an independent director seeking a farmhouse to feature in the climax of my short horror film, Freaks on Fifth Street. The house I'm looking for would ideally be small, with an open backyard, trees (needn't be a grove) on either side, a shed, and is a decent ways from nearby houses. The location will be used for living room interiors, and front yard and back yard exteriors. For interiors we're not looking to do anything drastic, only a bit of tidying up. We'll be shooting with minimal equipment and setups (a few lights, one camera, one tripod), and five student actors. No blood will be spilled, nothing will be damaged or shattered. All of these shots need to be filmed at night, however, so the location should ideally be available from twilight to around four hours after. Right now our plan is to shoot from the 11th of September to the 20th, with two days dedicated to the farmhouse. Further shooting information is being worked out. I would be grateful to anyone interested in helping us find a cool location, feel free to message me with any questions at all, and I am always willing to negotiate if need be. Attached are some images that get a better sense of what we're looking for.

Your city can't prove its data center vote was legit. Here's the free manual that makes them admit it.

Here is a helpful resource for those of you in Gilroy, shared by a supportive community member down south in Monterey. A resource for all those opposed to the Amazon data center to be built in your hometown.

Are we really going to trust Amazon with the 16,000+ gallons of water they plan to use per day?

Meta has already been caught releasing a rare bacteria into Cheyenne's water recycling supply in Wyoming. That water is used to irrigate parks, golf courses, and other green spaces.

Do we believe that Amazon Data Centers are able to keep our nations garlic supply and our community members safe?

Photographers for birthday party - 1 hr?

3 Upvotes

Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations for photographers in Gilroy who are good for parties? We'd only need 1 hour (to just get some pictures of the guests / the birthday girl - it's a gift since she loves photos for memories - it's a surprise party for her). We're having it at one of the wineries nearby.

Trying to stay around $150ish.

Date: Saturday, August 15th. Start Time: probably sometime between 5-6? Exact timing TBD, but it'd be in the evening.

Pigeon problem near Gilroy High School Farm

7 Upvotes

I live near the Gilroy High School Farm, and the pigeons have taken over all the homes in the area. Even with deterrents on some roofs, they're not leaving, and they've trashed my roof and cars with droppings. My roof is less than two years old and already half the shingles are destroyed, and I'm still paying it off.

They especially love sitting on the light poles, which seem to have multiplied since the new one went up on Kern. None of the poles have any deterrents, so the birds just stay put.

Is the city doing anything about the growing pigeon population? Curious if neighbors are seeing the same thing or have ideas.
