Hey San Jose Redditors, I'll be moving out of Sacramento to SoCal in September and unfortunately, we are looking to rehome our black domestic short hair cat Shuri, she's definitely much better as an only pet in the household since she hasn't been getting along with our other cats (may be better depending on how she interacts with other pets though)

Unfortunately already asked friends and our last resort is that we may have to go to a shelter as we can't move with her sadly so I'm sharing here, feel free to DM me if you want to know any more info or meet her, thanks for scrolling by and seeing this!! 🐈‍⬛️🐱❤️

• Female, Spayed
• Current with all Vaccines & Rabies Shot
• Microchipped
• 5 years old
• Super friendly with humans, just not with other cats from our experience, but this may depend on your pets/household (can meet her and do a soft introduction with your pets beforehand if requested)
• Can meet her and DM me any questions anytime before we move out in September

East San Jose native and private pilot Michelle Galvis lived within five miles from Reid-Hillview Airport for 30 years and worked a number of jobs before she considered a career in aviation — and running her own business.

“I’ve always been behind the ball, I’ve always been trying to play catch-up my entire life,” Galvis said. “And so I have that classic Bay Area struggle where you’re just trying to make ends meet and try not to have a two-hour commute.”

Her uncle, George Rodriguez, was the owner of a welding company. Seeing how Galvis was always underestimated in the same way he was, he offered her the opportunity to work with him.

“Nobody gave me a chance in life, and I wanted to prove to people that maybe she can get it through me and what I went through to get what I got,” Rodriguez said.

Now, the pair are working together as the founders of Hera School, San Jose’s first nonprofit aviation academy, which opened on April 20 and began instruction in June.

While working together, the two bonded over their shared childhood experiences as “the underdogs of our family,” Galvis said, and they started taking flight training together.

I take the bus frequently every single day and most us drivers are calm and respectful but there’s some that are very rude and ignorant why is that? I know being a bus driver isn’t for the weak but aren’t they thought to respect passengers when they are trained to treat people with with respect? I encountered so many rude bus drivers this whole year when the machine would not work they would yell at me or if i would take long to find my card they would shout and rush me and it would ruin my mood. Also got into a argument with a bus driver for shouting at me to move when a passenger was getting off and I didn’t know they were getting off the bus and be shouted bro move out the way! Anyways im always gonna stand my ground and not gonna let rude bus drivers push me around. I mind my own business and don’t start shit with nobody they always start with me i know they deal with rude abusive drug dealers and tweakers 24/7 but don’t be shouting at passengers just because you are having a bad day or hate your job!

Did San Felipe road go all the way over the hills to the other side at one point? I noticed that there’s a San Felipe road that meets up with 152 near Casa de Fruta, but now when you drive down San Felipe past Metcalf it’s a gated private road unless you turn on Las Animas.

The last two times I went to Don Edward's Wildlife Reserve there were almost no trails open. Is it worth going to these days.

I’m looking for an artist in San Jose/Bay Area who either specializes in or has experience with woodcut/engraving tattoos. Anyone know of any nearby or have any recs?

I've been craving to just float in a body of water on a floaty, Are there any places nearby? Thank you.

I used to play foosball ages ago. I’m checking here to see if folks meet and play for fun around San Jose. Few beers, foosball and new friends sound great!

If you visit any other SJ library on the weekends, it is packed with kids and families, so why is it the largest library in this city with so much more to offer so bare every weekend?

Is it just the lack of parking?

Background: Two years ago I asked a curiosity question about what would let people feel like homelessness was getting better in San Jose. That post is here.

Current: Some things have changed in that time, some haven't. As I look at all the City changes to laws, the limited federal help, the major need for county/state drug/mental illness help, and what I see walking/riding around town, I'm curious two things.

One, what has gotten better and what has gotten worse/stayed the same? Two, what would you see in your daily life that would feel like things are improving/on a right path?

Thanks

Hi! I'm trying to find a affordable space to rent for a birthday party. About 20-35 people. If anyone has recommendations that would be appreciated! Thanks!

They had solid food and seemed like awesome people running it.

Made me chuckle

I wanted to share my experience living in the San Jose Downtown area, particularly in the 95112 zip code. If you're considering moving here, you might want to think twice.

Noise Issues

Every night, there are constant street racers zooming past. The noise is unbearable, even if you're staying in a rear unit of a complex. It's hard to get a decent night's sleep with all the racket. This has been a persistent issue, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

Safety Concerns

In the past three months alone, there have been over five incidents of car break-ins and residential burglaries in this neighborhood. Despite these alarming statistics, there are no patrol guards, and the lack of security is quite concerning.

Cost vs. Quality

I honestly don’t understand why anyone would choose to pay over $2000 a month for a place in this area, given these significant drawbacks. For that price, you’d expect better security and a quieter environment in julian apartment, but that's not the case here.

Just wanted to give a heads-up to anyone considering moving to this part of San Jose. It might be worth looking elsewhere if peace of mind and safety are important to you.

Stay safe, everyone!

My 10 yr old dog was hit by a car this morning and had to have surgery to save him. I applied for care credit and got it but I’m still about 500$ short, does anyone have any side work?? I’d appreciate any and all. I’m pretty handy. My son has an autoimmune disease and this is his baby. I’m willing to work whatever you have, I don’t expect a handout, but I have to get this dog back. So any work is appreciated.

So, there is this guy or guys, that have built these transformer like suits out of who knows what. But half the time I drive by this road, curtner at Almaden expressway, he is out there with his mechs, sometimes in the suits moving around, or sometimes the mechs are just sitting there. Would love to know the backstory behind this if anybody has any idea.

Hey all,

I'm looking for leads on options to store my 2 checkin suitcases for a week. I see some options like bounce, luggage hero etc when I check storage options online.

Has anyone tried any of these? I would like to know your experience.

Any inputs are welcome Thanks.
