There will be a new Olivers Market on Farmers Lane, in the old Rite Aid space. Currently, there is a farmers market in the parking lot on Wednesday and Saturday. That will end in October. Olivers is kicking out the farmers market.

I don't need illegally loud motorcycle exhausts ruining my outdoor dining experience. That parking isn't necessary, either. We can use that space for permitted street vendors.

I live in Bennett Valley and everyone has a beautiful garden here but my yard is kind of bare and sad. I hate gardening but I'd like to plant some nice things too. What kind of plants/trees/flowers can I put in my yard that look nice and that I don't have to fuss over?

I am just sharing. Not an affiliated with SR city

Here's was yesterday sunset

Been a huge fan of Grab&Grow for years. I got curious why they changed the name to Soiland Materials. Turns out Soiland isn’t a brand name but a family name

EDIT: Gulf Oil ( Not Valero)

I discovered a fraudulent charge on my bank statements after pumping gas at the Gulf Oil ( not Valero) on Sonoma Highway in the Valley of The Moon plaza.

I paid with my debit at the pump and the transaction for the gas itself appeared normal on my statements, however noticed a separate unauthorized charge which had bogus Apple Pay website on the bank statement itself.

I immediately contacted the gas station to report what happened. The man who answered the phone immediately cut me off and defensively told me that the charge was simply a temporary bank authorization hold before I had even finished explaining the situation. I had to explain to him that I was not referring to any kind of “hold” on my card but an unauthorized charge from what appeared to be a fraudulent Apple Pay website.

The interaction was concerning because he seemed to immediately dismiss the issue before I had fully explained what had happened.

I contacted my bank and reported the fraudulent transaction. I’m posting this to encourage anyone who recently used this gas station to carefully check their bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized charges.

Or offsite betting? Sucks that it was canceled last year but the website is not specific only saying "canceled for 2025"

Damn queen! Get it!

OK, so my kid and their s/o live in Santa Rosa near The Flamingo. I'm about 3,000 miles away. For Christmas, our family has a tradition of doing Advent calendars. I'm looking for some fun places to get gift cards from to include in the daily gifts during December. I would prefer physical cards versus virtual ones. They're in their early 20's, foodies, and both work a lot.

*Edited to add that I'm looking for restaurants, coffee places, shops, activities, etc.

I'm moving so I have a lot of clothes, kitchen stuff, lamps, etc in great condition that I need to drop off/donate. Everytime I seem to pack up my car, places are closed/not accepting. Please let me know locations that are accepting. TY!

Just three months after starting weekly nonstop flights to Denver, Southwest Airlines told officials at the Santa Rosa airport it wants to take that schedule daily early next year.
Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County AirportManager Jon Stout said Southwest last week notified officials at the county-owned facility (code STS) it would increase the frequency of the Colorado route starting March 11, 2027, from its current Saturday schedule. That will follow an eight-month ramp up in flights, starting with five days a week (Thursday–Monday) next month and in September, then nearly daily flights around Thanksgiving and Christmas, and one to a few days a week in between.
The airport handled 92,759 passengers in June, up 24.5% from June 2025 and 27.2% from June 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic. Through June, 409,425 passengers used the airport, an increase of 7.6% from the same period last year and 29% from 2019.
Stout said Charles M. Schulz remains on pace to handle between 950,000 and 1 million passengers by year-end with the airport’s biggest carrier, Alaska Airlines growing traffic during the first six months of the year by 21 percent, to 303,673 passengers, and Delta Air Lines planning to start twice-daily nonstop service to Salt Lake City on Oct. 6.
Growth offsets Avelo Airlines’ departure
Passenger counts declined from January through March 2025 because Avelo Airlines ended service last year and Southwest had not yet entered the market. Traffic accelerated in April after Southwest launched flights and Alaska Airlines added frequencies.
Southwest carried 53,899 passengers through June. Its planes were 67% full in June and 66% full for the first half of the year, levels Stout said were not unexpected for a carrier establishing new routes. The growth more than offset Avelo Airlines’ prior June 2025 traffic of 10,950 passengers and first-half 2025 traffic of 73,380 passengers at the airport. Avelo stopped serving Santa Rosa in May 2025.
Alaska carried 58,934 passengers in June, up 17% from a year earlier. Alaska’s June load factor fell to 79% from 83%, while its year-to-date figure held at 82%.
American Airlines carried 13,748 passengers in June, up 4.3%, although its first-half total declined 6.4% to 51,853. Its June load factor rose to 86% from 70% a year earlier.
Stout attributed American’s fuller flights to its use of smaller aircraft rather than additional demand. The airline operated 89 June departures, the same as last year, but reduced its use of 120-seat Airbus A319 jets and relied more heavily on 76-seat Embraer E175 regional aircraft.
Competition is also increasing on certain nonstop routes, such as San Diego and Las Vegas. For example, both Alaska and Southwest serve San Diego, so their schedules could include as many as five daily flights for that Southern California city. The airport has been studying performance of such competitive routes and plans to augment through a consultant what it can find out from government data, which has a 60-day lag, Stout said.
“Now that we actually have more competition, we’ll be looking at that on a monthly basis as well, because we want to make sure all of our carriers are strong,” Stout said.

I need a quick garden cleanup at a trailer near Fulton and W. College.

Anyone?

But if you can't afford that talk to them. Their goal is to decrease the kitty population so they will work with you.

I'm on kitty number 5 (I trap and release and sometimes rescue) and this organization is simply lovely.

Donations from everybody are welcome. Shop their thrift store or donate to it!

I've never seen a scorpion in the wild and really want to. I hear people in Guerneville telling me they see them all the time, but would gladly go anywhere in the county if there are reliably scorpions there. I do have a UV lamp. Any tips as to where is a good spot to see one? What kind of microenvironment do they like (for example, under wood or leaves?) What weather and time of night is best to go looking for them? Thanks in advance. (Cross-posted to r/sonomacounty.)

Hey everyone in Santa Rosa how are you doing

But the sunsets here are something else 🤩
