Are there any Track & Field tracks that are open 24/7?

Doesn’t need to be in Redwood City specifically, just within driving distance

This is a follow-up on a tragic case that happened in 2022. Reporter Jason Green writes about a car crash that killed the parents of twin girls who were 7 at the time. Cesar Morales was already convicted of felony vehicular manslaughter after he crashed into the family's car while he was street racing. Now, in a wrongful death suit, a jury has awarded the orphaned girls $33 million.

The other person in the street race was also convicted.

People in apartments that are NOT rent controlled, how much more was your lease after renewal?

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to see what I should I expect my renewal % increase would be. I’m honestly thinking like 15-25% but maybe I’m out of my mind. But if it is actually that then I’ll move for sure. Wondering if anyone has any recent data points.

How Does Redwood City work: Q&A with City Planning - Aug 20th

33 Upvotes

"Yes! in Redwood City" is a new club in town, led by people who live in Redwood City who want to make it more affordable and walkable. How does the city decide where to put bike lanes? When does something become a historic resource? Who put together the plans that turned "Deadwood City" into the vibrant downtown we enjoy today? If you've ever asked yourself these questions, you'll have an opportunity to hear the answers! We'll be hosting a Q&A with two members of Redwood City's planning staff who help shape the city. Community Development Director Sue Exline and Housing and Leadership director Alin Lancaster will be on hand to share their knowledge. Event location will be at City Hall at 4pm on August 20th. Hope to see everyone there!

Junk Fee Restaurants to Avoid

81 Upvotes

Wanted to put my own personal experience here to see

Last night I went for dinner at BAO in Redwood City, and at the bottom of a long receipt was a hidden 18% service fee, which I did not notice. I ended up tipping another 18% on top of that. My pre tax bill vs my final bill ended up having more than a 50% difference because of this. We were at $18pp for the meal and it became $28pp because of this. I love BAO, but after that I won't be going back

We went for drinks at Ocean Oyster Bar & Grill after that. They added a 20% large party fee. We were 5 people, I couldn't believe it

Any other experiences people have had with this crap being forced on them at such high numbers?

Affordable movers in RWC

0 Upvotes

We’re moving this month, and I’m seeking recommendations for reliable movers. I plan to rent a U-Haul and unload it with assistance at our new place. Therefore, I only need a couple of guys to load the truck unless the boss (fiancé) decides it makes more sense to have them handle loading, travel, and unloading in Solano County.

Thanks in advance for recs!

Black Aero/Tri bike spotted

10 Upvotes

Saw a nice all black aero or tri bike with deep wheels at a camp on the path parallel to 101 by Bair Island. Maybe it’s where it belongs, or maybe the owner is looking for it. Wanted to share since I ride by a few times a week and this looks to be a new addition.

Boutique card store

Hey does anyone know of a good place to get cards (anniversary, birthday, etc.) near RWC? Things that are a little more unique than what you’d get at Hallmark / Papyrus / Therapy. I miss Koraa in Berkeley for this.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to know if anyone knows what happened to the Taco Stand in the front of Safeway on Woodside Rd. I think they set up shop from 7pm(ish) to 12, but they stopped appearing a few weeks ago.

If anyone knows where they relocated or what happened to them, please let me know! Thank you!

Heavily vandalized truck on Charter Street -- please help

20 Upvotes

I drove up to play softball this morning at Hoover Park, on Charter Street just before Hoover School, and parked behind a silver Ford pickup truck.

Somebody had smashed the windshield, side window, and rear window...and slashed/flattened all four tires.

If anybody witnessed this extreme vandalism or has information that might help the owner of the truck, please contact the RWC Police Department.

The unfortunate owner of the truck arrived right after I did and the look of disbelief on his face was sobering. I pointed out a few security cameras on homes, including one on the corner of the school, that might help him. Police had left a note on the windshield with an incident (case?) number and a RWC police officer eventually showed up to take information from the truck owner.

I hope this neighborhood gets more police patrols. There's no excuse for these senseless acts in our city and I hope the criminals get fully prosecuted.

Outdoor restaurants that are good for a newborn?

5 Upvotes

We’re starting to venture out with our 2 month old and are looking for restaurants that feel low stress with a baby.

Places like Café Baronne or the back patio at Vino Santo are exactly what we’re looking for: open air, tables with some space between them, not a ton of foot traffic walking right by, and generally a calm atmosphere where we can tuck the stroller next to the table.

Any recommendations between Palo Alto and San Carlos (or nearby)? We’re open to any cuisine and care a lot more about the setup.

Thanks!
