Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Power goes out all the time in my area off Mayhews and Willow. I have filed numerous complaintsRead More with PG&E. It was off for two days a month ago. All underground lines and goes out at least 2 times a month. Have to reset my clocks, wifi etc. very irritating.

There's been some construction going on at the north end of Lake Blvd, just before the freewayRead More overpass leading into Ardenwood Park. That's been going on for about the last 7-8 business days.

Today PG&E told me that about 3,000 customers (homes and businesses) in Newark and Fremont wereRead More without power from 7:57 p.m. to about 11 p.m. (I think ours went out a few minutes before that and I'm sure ours came on before 9 p.m. I suppose maybe some of those 3000 folks were out longer as they brought neighborhoods back up gradually, but my guess is that some bureaucrat guessed at the beginning that the outage "should" last 3 hours, and that became historical "fact.") due to a "device failure." (Now that's informative. My guess remains that wind was involved.) They called and left a message on my Comcast voice mail to let me know the power was out and that it should be back on by 11 - but my phones require power so I didn't get the message until this morning. I just called PG&E to change the number they call with such notifications to my cell, but they were able to clarify nothing else. Anyway, in case you were wondering, that is what PG&E now says happened.
He will probably be scared at first but he comes for food

Hi everyone! Yes he was found on Tuesday. Here's a tip: if you lose a pet post it on Craigslist lostRead More and found section :)
James Nelson May 21, 2013 at 12:27 pm
Did you check the local Vietnamese Restaurants? Hope he's OK.
Zoneil Maharaj (Editor) May 20, 2013 at 11:27 am
Thanks for sharing this Diana. Has he been found?

I remember as a teacher buying my own supplies. Looking back I don't regret buying anything andRead More realize that each person's teaching style is different. The things I might buy for my classroom would be totally different than you. Running a classroom is a lot like running a business, there are expenses and you just have to deal with that.

Good to know. Thanks, Nika!
Nika Megino (Editor) May 21, 2013 at 01:24 pm
It's definitely a great photo! We didn't anticipate it to stretch like that. We'll change itRead More eventually, but your friend should have enough time to check it out, John.
John Angelo May 21, 2013 at 12:50 pm
James, I completely understand and agree. The image is stretched beyond the dimensions it was meantRead More to be viewed, but it was a pleasant surprise to see the photo at the top of the page! I hope it stays up for at least another day so my friend can see it. Thanks for your reply.

One story I tried to read had an ad covering 1/4 of it, and there was no way to make it go away.
Daniel May 17, 2013 at 05:17 pm
Don't like it at all. "Change" isn't always for the better.

More difficult to navigate.
Debora Killeen January 23, 2013 at 05:07 pm
You are beautiful and will never be forgotten! God had a plan for you Charlotte and these greatRead More people are making that happen right here now as you oversee above its great impact on those of us left behind here on earth. God Bless You! Debora
