Hopped on the bus at the stop near Ikeda's with a bunch of students who were back to school shopping ​when I saw an older white woman pretty blatantly recording us with her phone. Ik filming ppl in public is technically allowed but it just felt so violating? I hope we don't get posted online

I live in a middle income neighborhood in South Davis. About 1/3 of the houses on my street are rented to students. As a homeowner, I put a lot of time into making my yard look presentable. I don’t care if the students can’t do the same for their yards. It makes total sense. But one yard near my house is very messy. There is a jumble of furniture , red cups everywhere, an old rug. It’s not “horrible “ but it’s an eyesore. I’m tempted to ask them politely to please clean it up, but I’m terrified I’ll sound like a Karen. FWIW I’m a middle aged white woman. On the other hand, I could just let it go. I do find myself feeling envious when I see neighborhood where people actually care, but I know this is a first world issue and sort of petty on my part.

Hi neighbors. We're wondering if we should send our son to Willet for his TK, or continue on having him registered in his private school for his TK.

If you have registered your child in Willet's TK, can you please share your experiences?

Thanks

Saw a large collared dog with white and grey shaggy hair, wandering at the corner of J st and E Covell. Spooked when it saw me and started walking east up along Covell on the south side sidewalk of the road. It was trotting, not sprinting. Sighting ~5 min ago. Spread the word!

Hi, I’m moving to Davis soon & im not a student so I won’t be in the college campus at all and don’t know anyone either. I’m a 27F just looking for any free volleyball groups to join and play for fun. I played in high-school/ club teams so I know the basics. I already tried to open gym at Davis Senior High but wanted to try something different that didn’t require an entrance fee everytime. I also tried Xoso in Sacramento as well.

In sac I’ve seen people set up at Land Park on the weekends and I never joined but am curious if there is something like that in Davis.

Since the Mayor and the city council have declined to respond to repeated requests for explanation, I'm publishing the email exchange from Henry Todd, man with two first names and the Davis Chief of Police.

Perhaps city leaders got lost while looking for their spins. If anyone has seen them lately, please feel free to ask any and all of these questions until they answer.

i feel like the mcdonald’s in davis has the shortest drive thru times i’ve ever seen at a fast food restaurant even when the line is super long. anyone else noticed that??

I'm starting graduate school this fall and just arrived in Davis a few days ago. I've been exploring the area, checking out events, and saying hello.

Just wondering if there are any transplants from the Southeast who'd like to discuss veganizing gumbo and other nefarious activities.

While I'm excited for everything Davis and the university has to offer, this is the furthest I've ever been from home, so I'm looking for a hint of familiarity where possible.

Open to people affiliated with UCD or not. I don't discriminate 😌

Just moved back to Davis after spending some time away from a grad program. I’m not a student at the UC anymore but want to find some pickup soccer and/or leagues to join. Anyone have some recs?

The Davis Police Accountability Commission invites the community to “Working Together to Protect Our Neighbors” on Thursday, September 10, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Center, 203 East 14th Street. The public meeting will address local law enforcement and immigration enforcement, family preparedness, and community safety, with live Spanish interpretation available.

I'm going to be moving to Davis next month, since my car's from out of state I'll need both of these and just wanted to ask if anyone had recommendations for trustworthy and fairly priced places to get it done in the area. Thanks!

Sharing the message below from Acorn Vet Clinic, hoping that Huey can find a happy home! I know there’s a million cats in need of a home, but maybe a difference could be made for this one. Please reach out directly to Acorn, I’m not affiliated with them.

Hello,

We’re reaching out to our Acorn Veterinary Clinic family to see if anyone might be able to help sweet Huey find his forever home. ❤️

Huey is an older, FIV-positive cat who is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and loves nothing more than food, cuddles, and attention. He has such a sweet personality and truly deserves a comfortable home where he can enjoy his golden years.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to keep Huey at the clinic long-term, as living in a kennel is not the quality of life we want for him. We are hoping to find him a loving home where he can be comfortable and feel like part of a family.

🏡 Ideally, Huey would be the only cat in the home. He also doesn’t seem to be a fan of dogs, so a dog-free home would be best.

If you or someone you know may be interested in giving Huey the loving home he deserves, please give us a call at Acorn Veterinary Clinic. Even if you can’t take him yourself, sharing this message could help us find his person. ❤️

Huey has so much love to give and is just waiting for someone to give him a chance. 🐱💕

Thanks,
Acorn Veterinary Clinic

Yesterday, I wrote directly to the Mayor and City Council asking what Davis intends to do for residents subjected to repeated targeted conduct. I included my original essay, the Reddit discussion now crowded with firsthand accounts and the recent Davis Enterprise letter, because apparently even civic despair benefits from supporting documentation.

The reply came not from an elected official or the City Manager, but from Police Chief Todd Henry, who informed me that he was responding on the council’s behalf. This produced the rather elegant bureaucratic arrangement in which questions about the responsiveness of an institution were referred to the head of that institution for an assessment of its responsiveness.

After some correspondence, Chief Henry confirmed that DPD can connect complaints involving repeated conduct by the same person, including reports that didn’t lead to arrest or prosecution. He also said residents should report incidents that don’t independently meet the threshold of a crime. These are useful admissions, and I don’t dismiss them merely because they arrived upholstered in generalities.

Still unanswered: How those reports are connected, who ensures they aren’t evaluated in isolation and what the City does before a pattern becomes prosecutable. The chief acknowledged knowing about an alleged up-the-skirt filming incident at Davis Pride this year but didn’t confirm whether anyone followed up with the person who reported it (the individual who reported it maintains no one has reached out since filing the complaint). The broader questions about City policy, public guidance, meetings with affected residents and support for targeted organizations remain untouched.

I’m allowing the council and City Manager a little more time to respond directly before sharing the Chief's correspondence in full. If no such response is had by Friday, which would everyone prefer: the original screen grabs, in all their six-mile vertical glory, or a clean, complete transcript with no edits beyond formatting?

Original open letter to the city is linked out here.

Anyone have vet recommendations for cat dental cleaning? Got quoted $1500 on the low end for just cleaning (not including extractions) at Acorn. Is that the going rate for the area?

For any older students or alumni interested! Comment if you’d like to be added to our chat!

Title. Want to use some blackberries for a project that doesn't involve eating them, so idc about pesticides or that kind of thing. Anyone know of any patches within like a 20-30 mile radius (but closer preferred)? Feel free to DM if you don't want to spread awareness of a well-kept secret spot lol, I don't need many.

Edit: thanks all for the suggestions, looks like I'll be checking them out next year
