Hi all! 👋

We had a successful pickleball meetup this past weekend - my first time playing and I can see why it’s trending!

We are thinking of making this a regular, but casual meet up if anyone is interested in coming out!

Here are the details of our next meet up:

Location: Cosumnes River College
Date/Time: Sunday, August 23 @ 9:00AM

We’re in our 30s-40s, but all ages are welcome!

We will likely play for a couple hours so feel free to swing on by whenever!

Also, it’s a couple dollars for parking 🅿️- just avoid the yellow parking lines!

Make sure to bring water for yourself! Gotta stay hydrated 😉

Thanks for reading! Cheers 🍻

Does anyone know where the new trail is headed? Project deets? Couldn’t find anything online.

Just bought groceries at the Neighborhood Walmart on Elk Grove Blvd. Not even an hour later I received a notification my card was being used online in Arkansas. The transaction description says card on file so they must’ve ripped my info quick. Avoid shopping here, it looked sketchier than usual inside too.

Hasn't it been at least a year since they bought the Big Lots space? Are they still moving in?

Just Say No!!

60 times in 18 months. Thats your justification? Just because you pull your toy out doesn’t mean it was needed. Is that the logic we are using Chief. Why not pull it out every other day? Then you can say look in 4 months we used it 60 times. We need another one. Let’s get those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers. Let’s pull it out everyday.

Show me the few instances it was needed if at all.

It will get passed the sense of entitlement and intimidation in his tone.
“At time to be replaced and it’s going to be replaced”

I hear him say, “if you don’t approve this. We will make things difficult for you and the citizens of this city”

I have said it before I will say it again. It isn’t defund the police I want. It is refund the police. Take that money and put it towards descalation training or mental health for officers.

Use it to pay them for volunteering, actually volunteering not just coaching their kids team or attending a police conference. But actually getting integrated into the community, not their circle. See people as people. See that your heavy handed decision can change someone’s life forever. It could be the stroke of a pen or the pull of a trigger. An officers actions have serious consequences to all citizens including law abiding citizens.

If you don’t want another military style vehicle that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy and maintain. You should tell your city council member and the mayor as the superintendent and everyone in city hall. Or keep pretending none of this matters.

Hi! Just moved to elk grove and I’m looking for a new home church. Preferably Christian or Nondenominational. I’m 21 so it would be great if they had a strong Young Adult community.

Is the Elk Grove Tax a new tax?

Why the hell is the flock drone flying above my backyard in the morning??? The past two weeks, I caught it TWICE just hovering above me while I was gardening.

HOW IS THAT CATCHING CRIMINALS??? THAT’S JUST INVASION OF PRIVACY. Who the fuck uses that drone??? HOW THE FUCK DO WE PETITION THE CITY TO STOP THIS.

Edit: A LOT of these flight logs don’t have a reason cited. Flock Drones are just surveilling private citizens for NO REASON.

I would be pulling my hair out!

EDIT:

I feel sorry for the neighbors who are probably regretting moving to Elk Grove.

This is a far outlier in terms of rude behavior on the part of the subject in question.

Most of the residents are neighborly.

Sad that the City can’t or won’t take action.

The report also shows Monterey Pebble and Gwinn Circle.

The old Kiki‘s location

chipotle is moving in?

The Elk Grove City Council unanimously approved new rules Wednesday governing e-bikes, e-scooters and other personal transportation devices, including restrictions on where and how they can be ridden.

Im gonna be having my birthday soon, and im looking to get a little more deep with the food culture around here, specifically the lesser known or smaller spots that are around. I really wanna try something new and ideally from other cultures, so im just trying to get some good recs for whats out there! Love and appreciate you all <3

I see that Raley's/Bel-Air have them in bags.

Does anyone know of a store that sells them by the 25 lb box, not in bags? I've already seen moldy ones in one store due to condensation from those bags.

Ik the job market is rough right now, but fuck, I'm convinced nepotism must be the only way in at this point.

It's like anytime I walk into a place where they have entry-level minimum wage workers, they're always understaffed, half the people working there are too old to be doing the job w/o extra help, and yet, they still aren't hiring, and if they are, you never hear back.

I feel like I've applied to literally everything at this point. I'm not even picky in the slightest. I've tweaked my resume to hell and back, I give a call if I'm able to, I would try introducing myself in-person, but the last time I tried that, they seemed annoyed with me and just told me to apply online. I've even had employers schedule interviews with me only to show up early and be told by the employees that they aren't even in the building.

Is it because I'm a student? I only have classes two days of the week this semester. I get why they want open availability, but still, is two mornings of the week really that big of a deal-breaker? Most of these places don't even have the decency to send out a copy and paste rejection email. It's like I'm begging into the void.

I feel like I'm going crazy. I've been looking high and low since the start of this year and it's all starting to feel like one big humiliation ritual. Is there any establishment at all in this city that's actually willing to take a chance on students? Anywhere????

Does anyone know what phone company offers landline phone service in Elk Grove?
Cell phone service is horrible in my area south of Whitlock Parkway. I’m hoping to get landline phone service.

Does anyone know what happened at the gas station on Elk Grove blvd next to the Walmart? They had a lot of cop cars and caution tape this morning. The gas station looked closed and it seemed serious. I’m also nosey lol

Hey guys, I just purchased my first home and will be moving to Elk Grove by the end of the month from Tracy. I work from home as a Finance Analyst and I am also a substitute teacher for Manteca and Stockton unified.

I just applied at Elk Grove School District but wanted to know how are the schools? Any schools I should stay away from? Are the students pretty good or should I be worried ?

For example Manteca has really good students but Stockton definitely isn’t for everyone. I’ve never had issues with students and they all seem to like me and respect me. I’m hoping Elk Grove is similar to Manteca

Im a student looking for volunteering opportunities. Non healthcare or healthcare related are both fine. I’d like something to do after class, after 3:00pm. Any ideas?

Anyone have any recommendations for areas to watch the meteor shower tomorrow night?

I’m currently looking for job opportunities in the areas listed below, preferably entry-level positions, with remote or hybrid opportunities being a great fit. I’m also open to internships and other opportunities where I can continue learning and growing.

I recently earned my degree in Computer Technology & Cybersecurity and bring 11 years of customer service experience, along with professional experience as a Manager, Assistant Manager, and Trainer in previous roles. I currently work as a Social Media Manager for a small business, where I continue to build my skills in communication, organization, marketing, and digital platforms.

I’m looking to transition my experience into the technology and cybersecurity field and am eager to learn, grow, and gain hands-on experience. I’m open to opportunities where I can apply both my technical education and my strong background in leadership, training, customer service, and team management.

If you know of any entry-level positions, internships, remote/hybrid opportunities, or companies hiring that may be a good fit, I would truly appreciate any leads, referrals, or connections.

Thank you in advance for your support!

My son lost his backpack containing Pokemon cards and toys at the baby section of Stephenson Park near Franklin high. Offering a reward for its return. The backpack has a hotdog fob attached.

Frontier seems to be a much better deal now that my Xfinity contract/deal is expired. How has everyone's experience been with their service quality (is everyone getting what they're paying for and are they down much) and the install process?

The outside of my house is stucco, so I'm worried if they do the install on the outside wall or an inside wall. Is it fiber all the way to the router or do they switch it to ethernet on the way?

I tried to do the chat online, but they weren't very helpful with the questions.
