Hi, my friends dog Frannie got scared on a walk last night on W 5th Ave and Maple in San Mateo and slipped out of her harness. She ran down Maple and lost sight of her. She is small (11lbs) and is easily scared of people and will run away if approached. Do not chase her please. Please contact ASAP with location if seen. # (951) 347-3339. Thank you 🥺

A group of amateur classical musician friends and I are hoping to play some music outdoors in or around downtown San Mateo. We were thinking the plaza in front of the Cinemark might be a good spot. Is anyone familiar with rules/guidelines regarding public performance?

Also, if you are a musician in San Mateo, feel free to DM me if you want to jam!

We’re getting ready to move back to the area, and we have a Goldendoodle puppy who will need grooming soon. Which groomers (mobile or not) do you love? I used to take my dog to Jeffery on 24th Ave but I’m open to other ideas. She’s still a puppy, so bonus points if you know whether the groomer will do puppy sessions. Thank you!

Hey neighbors! :D

I live in The Village and I'm out walking/jogging most days in a weighted vest. Been rocking a Costco one for a while, no issues — but I just got a 5.11 vest that's more of a CrossFit/tactical cut, and it looks a lot like plate carrier body armor.

It's way more comfortable and adjustable, so I like it. But I don't want to startle anyone or have someone call it in thinking I'm up to something other than exercising.

Has anyone worn something like this around here, or seen someone in similar gear? I'm planning to cover it in patches — Pride/Trans flags, Hello Kitty holding a "Fuck ICE" sign, "This Vest Runs on Decency" — to make it read as "friendly neighbor" and not "tactical."

Am I overthinking this?

Saw this in the DJ and looks like a great event to have here on the Peninsula, anyone attending? I'll be away.

Sonic, unlike AT&T and Xfinity.....do not suck. I am sad they are not available on my side of 101, and would love ideas to encourage and unblock Sonic from deploying over here.

So i live about 30 min away from San Mateo (closer to Daly City). My mom wanted me to take the dmv driving test at San Mateo instead since she thought it would be easier. I have NEVER driven there until today since i wanted to practice a bit before my actual test

Holy sh*t was it so confusing. A lot of the lights weren’t working, so many of the road symbols are barely visible, the roads are so narrow, and theres so many unprotected left turns where the traffic lights barely gives you time to pass. Its just so much more confusing than the area i live at and i wasnt used to it

I was THANKFULLY able to pass my test, but i was nearly shtting myself. I messed up mainly at an intersection where the light wasn’t working and got points docked for letting too many vehicles go ahead since it was an unprotected left turn and i wanted to be extra careful ( very understandably my fault)

Hello San Mateo neighbors. My husband and I own Colander kitchens, a restaurant in downtown San Mateo. The restaurant is quite big and we have a semi-private space available. Perfect for small hands-on classes or maybe a book club meeting

The space comfortably seats up to 12 guests. We also have great food, coffee, and beer and wine for your guests to enjoy.

Here’s a picture from our recent watercolor class

Ideal times are between 930 and 11:30 AM on weekdays

I have an idea? Send me a message or email [email protected] and we can discuss how to make it work.

Does anyone know what's being built on the corner of North Humboldt and Poplar Ave?

Hi. Newer to the area and astounded by car wash prices I’ve encountered. Does anyone have recommendations for reasonable place or a service that could come to our place and do both cars detailing?

Hi All,

I recently bought a new 2026 RAV4 and am concerned about going through car washes.
Based on all the info I have gathered, a touchless car wash is the best bet. I have heard the Chevron on 790 Polhemus Rd is one of the best ones.

Just wanted to get an opinion before I do it.

Thank you!

Edit: I went to the Chevron ar Polhemus road. I was there at around 5:30 pm. There were 2 cars ahead of me. It took around 5 mins per car and I paid 14$ for a full car wash.

It was nice, thorough, and got the car fully cleaned.

Nice weather lately
