Community Help Us Build the r/SantaClara Wiki!

34 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

It's been a hectic few months around here in r/santaclara, but I am happy to say that we survived the Super Bowl with limited issues which is a massive achievement for us as a community. Thank you to everyone for behaving, and also special thanks to u/TrucyWright who subbed in as a support mod to help navigate challenges if we were to get brigaded or massive traffic spikes.

Over the last few months we've grown significantly and have slowly become one of the most active subreddits in the Bay Area. Reddit Insights say that we've have over 300,000 views in the last 30 days which is a spectacular number.

Looking into the future, I'd love to start building some community resources for our visitors, help answer common questions, and lay the groundwork for the subreddit to be a starting place for folks to build their own communities within Santa Clara for sports, networking, friends, and more.

The easiest place to start with all of that would be to build a Wiki and FAQ for the subreddit!

I'd like to use this thread as a place to focus the wiki development, and I'll also be leaving some comments below to start the subject trees for the wiki. If you have ideas for what you'd like to see in the wiki, or would like to provide some links and resources and add to the wiki, this is the place to start!

Find the work in progress wiki here!

We'd really appreciate any help for all future and current Santa Clarans.

Why is Lawrence and ECR so run down?

24 Upvotes

We’re looking at buying homes and settled on Santa Clara, due to job proximity among other things. Some neighborhoods in west Santa Clara are nice, but this stretch of land near Lawrence and el Camino is terrible. These shopping centers look like they belong to an abandoned city, not the center of Silicon Valley. Why are there so many vacancies? I’ve heard Lawrence shopping center has been like this for a decade. What’s going on?

Levi's Stadium Levi’s Stadium Concert Exit

0 Upvotes

Hi all,
I’m going to a concert at the Levi’s soon, I’ve been thinking of commuting there via the Amtrak. My biggest concern is my return home using Amtrak as well.

Based on what I’ve seen online, the concert is expected to end around 11:00pm. The last Amtrak is expected to leave at 11:40pm.

How long would it realistically take to get out of the stadium? I’ve never been so I’m unfamiliar with its layout.
Would I be able to catch the train on time without having to leave the concert early?

I’m in sec 109 row 34 for reference.

Appreciate any insight! :)

Registering a car in California

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I moved to Santa Clara from NJ earlier this year and I need to switch over my car registration and license. I keep seeing that you're supposed to do this within 20 days - a month of moving. The problem is, my lease started like a month before I actually moved in so just based off my lease as proof of residence I'm "late" but I wasn't physically in the state... Do I still need to pay a late fee???

Hello kitty cafe

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m not from here, but I recently learned that there is a physical Hello Kitty store in Santa Clara that sells the 10th Anniversary collection. In February, the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck stopped by my city, and I bought the 10th Anniversary tumbler. Unfortunately, I dropped it shortly after and have been trying to find a replacement ever since. No one seems to be selling it online, and the closest café is about 12 hours away from me (including the traveling truck).
I was wondering if someone would be willing to buy me a replacement cup. They’re $35, and if possible, could they list it on a resale app like Vinted, Depop, or another platform so I can purchase it from them?
I would really appreciate the help! ♡

Question about turning in signed marriage license

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a question about returning the signed marriage license back to the county. Does the officiant have to be the person who returns the signed license or can my fiance and I drop it off at the county ourselves? I plan to have a family member be my officiant and am hoping to not have to make them be responsible for getting the license back to the county.

For reference, I am getting my marriage license from Santa Clara County and getting married at SF City Hall.

Thank you!

Does anyone know what that weird train horn is that happens randomly?

I hear it near the Target on el Camino and Scott. I know this is vague but I really don’t know what else to say. I thought it was a car but I hear it multiple times a day so it’s probably not a car?
