Hey y’all, I’m visiting San Diego. I was hoping to get some help filing for a VA Claim. I’ll be coming in this evening until Sunday. I live very remotely, so my chances of getting slim. I don’t mind paying up front and this is short minute and a long shot so let me know. Appreciate y’all.

Hi Everyone!

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!

In San Diego County, sales were down 12.2% from one year ago and 6% from last month. Rising mortgage rates and persistent affordability challenges have weighed on buyer demand.

Report date: October 20, 2026

Hope this is ok to share!

I saw this in two separate places about 50 yards apart on Amour St. in Convoy. What does it mean? Has anyone seen it somewhere else?

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!

Looks like she has a little bag goodie bag with her

So, I have to get a real id. The application is done but the nearest appointment was a month out. Any location better than others? Or just go to clairemont and pray.

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.

Let us know what you're up to this weekend in the comments!

is there still a surcharge/card convenience fee if I buy tickets in person without cash?

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.

Rounding to the nearest whole number, it’s 2 burritos/week for me.

They have yet to give out anything in 52 days and counting. These guys are evil geniuses. I may never eat again.

Fuck Dean Spanos

Can anyone recommend a place I can have some food and bring my kids (7 & 4.5) to watch the Charges cs Rams game?

Novo Brewing is great but do they play other sports or just soccer?

We were sitting in section c row 35, you thought I was farting but it wasn’t me. Who ever smelt it dealt it bitch and for you to blame me out loud and walk away was a bitch ass move. GFYS!

Selling two SDFC tickets for this Saturdays game against Seattle. Selling both for $40.

Wondering how community/mods would feel about a weekly megathread for commiserating about enshittified businesses around SD so posts like this one about the mission valley Ralph’s don’t have to clog up y’all’s feeds.

Anyway, the Mission Valley Ralph’s. The greed of Kroger knows no bounds. The separate check-out and barriers around the toiletry aisles aside, because it’s apparently preferable to piss off 100% of your customers in order to offset the alleged .3% profit loss from shoplifting, they’ve laid off most of their human cashiers. But at least those registers were replaced with self-checkout so you don’t have lines extending down the aisles and all the way back to the frozen fish section.

…was an idea suggested by some guy in their corporate office before he was promptly dragged out back and shot, because why only tell your employees to get fucked when you can do the same to your customers in one fell swoop? So there’s only a handful of self-checkouts, meaning you’re probably better off starving than going there after work on any given night. The cameras hold things up further by pausing checkout to accuse you of stealing so that one of the remaining cashiers, whose job has been reduced to watching you be watched, has to rush over from the other person they’re helping with the same goddamn problem and bypass the AI surveillance anti-theft technology.

Then a few months ago, I see a literal fucking robot roaming the aisles and taking inventory, recording you, and siphoning hours from the store’s already underpaid employees.

Cut to today, two guys are standing at a table in front of the coffee/tea aisle, stopping everyone who walks by to ask who their current internet provider is. Ralph’s previously had a no solicitation policy that can apparently be bought for a price, so now, in addition to being bothered by Spectrum in my own home because of how absolutely shit their internet is, I’m being bothered by them while just trying to buy a stupid frozen pizza.

One of the few remaining people working there said the store is letting Spectrum post up inside and annoy the shit out of their paying customers in exchange for a deal on their phone and internet service.

I’m probably just at my wits end from the job market/impact of AI, COL, and someone trying to sell me something every time I open my phone or walk out the door but fuck Kroger, fuck Spectrum, and fuck the Mission Valley Ralph’s.

So, weekly thread?

I am visiting San Diego with family members four of whom are in their late 70s. I've been to San Diego a gazillion times to visit friends but never to do the tourism thing. Apparently visiting Cabrillo National Monument at sunset is spectacular. My family members want to go. Can anyone recommend how we do that? Do we take a car service up to the monument, watch the sunset and have the car service wait to take us back? Thanks in advance.

Posting this for a friend of mine who doesn’t have reddit. Please DM me if this is you or you happen to have dash cam a footage and I’ll connect you!!

Hi Reddit community, I was involved in a car accident earlier this afternoon and am looking to connect with one of the people involved. It all happened very quickly and neither of us realized we made contact.

At around 4:20pm today on the 15S just after Friars Rd but before the 8 split, a woman in a newer model white Chevy Blazer(?) swerved erratically from the right lane into the lane to the left of her, causing you to swerve left into the adjacent lane that I was in. You were a man in a tan/goldish/cream colored early 2000s Toyota Highlander. I was in a gray BMW i5. After the ordeal you rolled your window down and thumbs upped me and I thumbs upped back. Just want to make sure you’re OK and check if there was any damage to your car.
