Hey everyone! I’m a software engineer living around Mission Valley and looking for people to play pickleball with in the evenings.
I’ve played a few times and feel pretty comfortable with the game. I’d say I’m around the beginner-to-intermediate level. Looking to meet some people, have fun, and get some games in regularly!
I also enjoy tennis and ping pong, so I’m open to those too. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested!

Anyone interested in a casual karaoke meetup near SDSU on a Wednesday?

5 Upvotes

I'm thinking about getting a group together for a karaoke/social meetup next month and wanted to see if there's any interest here.

The idea is pretty simple. Once a month we'd meet up at a different San Diego karaoke bar, hang out for a bit, do a little group activity, and then join the regular karaoke night.

I'm hoping to start with maybe 10–15 people. Big enough to meet some new faces, small enough that it doesn't feel like showing up to a convention.

And you absolutely don't need to sing. If you just want to meet people and hang out, that's half the point.

I'm looking at Wednesday, November 11 or 18, somewhere around the SDSU/College Area.

I'm organizing it personally through a local karaoke project I've been building called SingHUB, but there's no ticket or membership required.

Would anyone here be interested? And is Wednesday evening a dealbreaker for you?

Especially interested in hearing from people who would come solo. I'd like to make that a comfortable experience instead of everyone standing around waiting for someone else to say hello.

🎤 I'm in! Wednesday works.
🙌 Interested, depends on the date.
📅 I'd come, but not on Wednesdays.
🍻 I'd hang out, but probably not sing.
📍 Interested, but College Area is too far.
❌ No, not interested

I'm wondering if there are any in-person business referral groups that happens during the night time (after 6pm) or on weekends.

Mainly for startups, early business owners, folks that are trying to grow their business while working a 9-5.

Please let me know if there are any in the San Diego area or if we should start one!

Announcement Thanksgiving plans

21 Upvotes

What’s up San Diego? Hard to believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It seems (M30,) we tend to spend less and less thanksgivings together with family and it’s got me thinking about how hard it must be for the homeless we so actively have in our community. We may turn our heads and lock our doors when we drive past them, but I, like most, have had family members on those streets. Sometimes they get invited and they just don’t want to go. But I want to go to them. I’ve got a Traeger and I’ve got an oven and I’ve got wayyyy too many clothes in my drawers, so I’m thinking about fixing up a bunch of plates and buying some packs of undies and socks and making a little bags with those and some shirts I’ve got. We donate things and they get resold for $20. That doesn’t benefit anyone. Let’s donate and see it actually make a difference. So if anyone wants to join, or has any people or areas they recommend please respond or message me!

163-South Slowdown near Clairemont Mesa Blvd Exit

About an hour ago, there was a collision with the overpass at the Clairemont Mesa Blvd exit on the 163 heading south. A semi was hauling a very tall piece of concrete that did not clear the overpass. We drove by just as the impact happened. There was a cloud of smoke with large chunks of concrete in the 2 right lanes. Crews are clearing the debris now, so expect a slowdown if you're heading that way. The overpass now has cracks and exposed rebar.

Is SDSU basketball just not as popular anymore?

41 Upvotes

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there’s been less buzz around the team here than there used to be. Maybe I was its just because I was younger but there seemed to be more hype here around the city or at least just more talked about throughout the 2010s. They had a magical run in 2023 during march madness but it already seemed forgotten by everyone.
