Humboldt if unknown to you all, the second weed was legalized the entire town became a ghost town. Restaurants closing, malls shut down, boarded up and empty downtown. Already isolated area now a walking talking graveyard. Everyone moved to states where they can still sell weed and make $$$.

I want out. I want a Night life and still Coastal ca. Generic middle class income wise and under the age of 40.

Should I move here? Where else in california can i stay coastal with a night scene and not be bored out of my skull? Only other place I tried was Chico and it's too damn hot and isolated to enjoy and already moved out.

I'm not returning it, I'm just letting Reddit know.

Get ready for the most West County post ever. …..
Does anyone have recommendations for local cobblers who repair Birkenstocks?

Market is seeking to expand into West America bank parking lot (next to used book store). Bank has already approved but city needs to give their approval. Certain businesses in the plaza oppose the market (despite it existing for 4 decades and preceding them) so it is critical that the city hears support from the public. Please write and/or attend. Info on Instagram (linked)

I am a vendor (Four Oak Farm) and on the board. Any questions, let me know (and see you Sunday at the market!)

Anybody have experience with T-Mobile in Sebastopol / Sonoma County?

The coverage maps seem to indicate it’s got the best service in the area.

Thank you in advance.

Can you help? Ruthless Kindness is a Sebastopol, CA-based nonprofit organization founded by veterinarians to support both people and their pets in crisis. Their mission is to address the epidemic of violence and preventable suffering in at-risk animals and people.
Right now, RK needs cat foster volunteers, as there has been an unprecedented demand from survivors with cats needing foster care. Survivors who are fleeing abuse often cannot bring their pets into safe housing. Our foster volunteers provide a loving, temporary home to these beloved animals, so both the animals & their people can reach safety.

Hi all! New to Sebastopol - I'm looking for a spot to take my Lexus for service. Hoping I don't have to go over to Santa Rosa. Any recommendations in town? (thank you again, I've gotten great responses from my prior questions and I appreciate it!)

Visiting for the week, hoping to move here soon and want to get a sense of the community. Any events, workshops, or gatherings happen we should go to?

I just moved back to Sebastopol after living in Santa Rosa for the last 10 years and can't help but notice all of the new homeless people. So far I've watched someone steal a bike off of someone's car(be careful of that white bmw wagon), a guy steal from Pacific market, getting harassed by CVS and just a bunch of people living in their cars. What happened?

What up Sebastopol! I have my monthly show Thotty's Naughty Revue on 7/31 and this time I'll be featuring pole dance from local and out of town talent. I also have LBZ coming to rap some bangers but also for a special performance with the Bastet Twerk Team. Hope you can make it!

My kid’s crocs are missing. Please let me know if you’ve seen them around town. Potentially lost during the 4th or on the way back to the car after the fireworks.

They are a pink and yellow sort of swirl pattern with a random assortment of croc charms on the top of each shoe. I think they were a size kids 10 or close to it.

Anyone in Sebastopol interested in joining a run club? Is there already one in existence?

I'm willing to travel a ways to get it, but Sebastopol is my starting place, so I figured I'd ask the community.

Thanks!

Hi folks- my family will be moving to Sebastopol from Oakland soon, and as a self-proclaimed farmers market fanatic, I'm looking to find some kind of replacement for the produce from the Grand Lake farmers market. I understand that this is a smaller town, but I thought that produce would be more plentiful than it seems to be! So far I have been to Andy's (meh), Olivers (pretty good), and the Sebastopol farmers market (good, but small). Am I missing something? Is there a secret place to get summer tomatoes and nectarines?

We're rooting for team Colombia in the world cup, and hoping to find somewhere fun to watch with like-minded folks. Hoping someone has a lead, thank you!

Hi all! We're developing an open source network to send text messages without cell phone service or internet called MeshCore - think text messaging that is encrypted, open-source, free to use, and owned and operated by the people who use it. It works with a network of low-power radios that receive messages from personal devices and transmit them to other radios all the way until the intended recipient receives the message.

Most of the repeater radios are solar-powered, and some are even smaller than a deck of playing cards. The Bay Area MeshCore mesh functions well during power outages and emergencies, and many folks are using and building the mesh to function as backup communications for times when the internet and cell towards aren't working (think fires, PGE outages, or earthquakes).

We're regularly messaging between Sonoma, Petaluma, Marin, Merced, San Francisco, the East Bay, Monterey, SLO, and some of the Sierra, and are trying to build up coverage throughout the rest of Sonoma County!

If you have heard of mesh communications of any variety, or are interested in experimenting or learning more, get yourself a decent companion radio and a repeater radio and consider joining our Discord to help get started. Comment here or DM me with questions, or find our discord and info at bayareameshcore.org.

Bay Area MeshCore does not sell anything whatsoever, and is a noncommercial group of radio nerds living in NorCal. The hardware companies linked to at our website are wholly unaffiliated with Bay Area MeshCore, have no agreement with us (and have probably never heard of us), and usually ship with the other mesh's firmware. That said, when buying a node, please try to support small businesses.

Final note! MeshCore is a different network than Meshtastic. Many people, myself included, consider MeshCore to be a very reliable choice for stable, permanent networks. I regularly direct message folks in Monterey and Watsonville from SF, and the messages usually go through on the first attempt!

Happy meshing!! :)
