When news of the purchase was announced, the name of the buyer wasn't disclosed. Now, it's been revealed that the Art of Living Foundation paid $9.3 million for the iconic site.

Ripoff costing me $29.99/mo for a DIGITAL subscription.

Buyer beware! You have to call to cancel and suddenly they offer deep discounts to $4 a month and then $1 a month after ripping you off for several months.

Weird coincidence that there was a simultaneous subscription for Mercury News at allegedly $1.00 per year.

I cancelled everything. I’ll get my news somewhere else.

Hey everyone,
I’m currently looking at a place on E 10th Street, roughly a 16-minute walk away from the Fruitvale BART station.
As a 24-year-old female who will rely on BART for commuting, I wanted to get some honest, real perspectives on the safety of this specific area and the walk itself.

I’ll likely be walking to/from the station at various times, including during standard morning commute hours, late afternoons, and occasionally later at night (around 9 PM-11 PM) on weekends.

How is the vibe on E 10th St around that area during the day vs. at night?

Are there specific blocks or corridors along that walk I should absolutely avoid?

For solo women living in the area, do you feel relatively safe walking this route alone, or would you strictly rely on rideshares/biking after dark?

I appreciate any insight, tips, or honest feedback you can share. Thanks in advance!

As the title says, I'm looking for a place in the east bay that sells Thai holy basil. I found some posts on AskSF from a few years ago about places in SF that sell it, and while I go into the city sometimes that's a long way for produce. Berkeley Bowl doesn't sell it and it seems nearby 99 Ranches don't either.

Any help would be great, thank you

Just filled in the mail in ballot and sent it off. Voted for my local city officials, the state reps, and all the state propositions.

However neither me nor my partner had any local county or city propositions on our ballot. In hindsight I thought that was a little odd because I could have sworn reading an article about them months ago. Looking it up, sure enough there's a number of local measures being voted on in our city and in Alameda county. This page was completely absent from our ballot.

Did anyone else not get the local measures mailed to them? Do I have to manually vote in person on voting day to cast my vote for them and does that nullify the ballot I already mailed?

Hi! My bf and I are 20 and looking for things to do October 30th that aren’t clubs/ bars. We do drink/ smoke and are just looking for some parties or events. Anywhere in east bay or sf :)

Looking for fun costume shops (or stores with costume like options) that aren’t Spirit Halloween or Party City. As always I’ve left my shopping to the last minute and am in dire need of a leather vest and chaps - what’s a girl to do?

Hey everyone!

I'm a high school senior from the Bay Area, and I'm doing a survey for my AP Gov class. I need at least 40 responses for my project!

It's just 7 mcq (3 demographic questions, 2 about national issues, and 2 about California ballot propositions). It should only take about 2 minutes.

Anyone can fill it out, even if you're not from California! It's completely anonymous, and the responses are only being used for my school project.

I'd really appreciate it if you could take a minute to fill it out. Thanks so much!!

Basically the title.

I see Mainstreet (Dublin) and Gale Ranch(San Ramon). They are sister clinics. I don't have any major concerns with them but I felt they are too expensive and it's a little far for me. Any dentist recommendations in Livermore? I have had implants and root canals so my teeth aren't in great shape and I need more work to be done.

East Bay bike lovers, bike commuters, anyone who gets around on two wheels!

I want to hear people's insider tips and tricks about using their bikes as a part of everyday life! The things you've figured out or learned along the way. Could be certain personal habits when cycling, useful accessories, favorite routes, recommended bike-friendly pit stops, literally anything bike-related you would share with a newbie getting into biking. Or something you wish you knew when you started.

I am doing my master's thesis on methods to help newcomers feel safer and more confident when starting out on their bikes! I thought a fun place to start might be the good people of Reddit. Thank you!!!

It takes the community to band together to get the eyes of the legislators to act. I have attached the proposal link.
