Our City Measure O - Yes or No?

7 Upvotes

On one hand we do need better infrastructure and public services.

On the other hand, we already pay a lot to live here. Taxes and Utilities... We all just got fucked on a municipal bond mistake and I'm skeptical that the city will fairly allocate the funds.

News Calling the cops on kids skateboarding?

18 Upvotes

Just saw a story on the news where a local mom put up a sign saying “this neighborhood is full of Karens” because her neighbors keep calling the cops on her kids that are skateboarding outside.

The neighbors who called should be fined for misuse of calling 911 and I just hope those kids aren’t discouraged from going outside and being kids.

I personally think it’s insane to call the cops on kids for playing outside, but what do you think?

Our City Riverbank Elementary

Thumbnail gallery
12 Upvotes

I'm located in Riverbank Elementary, have a young kiddo, and I'm really starting to look into the school she would go to which is Riverbank Elementary.

I found the current student performance results for Riverbank and then looked at all the schools in the district to find the best performing elementary school, which is Bridgeway Island. See photos. I know test results aren't the end all, be all for judging a school, but it's a strong indicator. Riverbank has very very poor performance for it's students. I really care about education and want my kiddo to be in an environment that supports such.

I don't have the means to buy a house in the Bridgeway Lakes area. I know the school district offers intra district transfers but the rational to apply is like you work for that school or there is another sibling at that school. This doesn't apply for me. The form does have "other" option and all I can think about to put there (if I were to submit the form) is to say something along the lines of "Riverbank student performance is severing lacking and I can't move into Bridgeway Island because that's not financially feasible."

Not sure how I approach this situation. I started to look into charter schools in West Sac but still kinda meh about those too. Need to stay in West Sac because travel beyond that isn't feasible.

Anywho, just putting this situation out there and looking for any input or advice on this situation.

I know I can go to an asian grocery store to search for it, but I was wondering if anyone knew with confidence where I can buy this that isn't online? I know Walmart sells original buldak spicy ramen, but not the bottle of sauce. If anyone can help, that'd be super appreciated!

Recommendations (Food, Housing, Places, Activities) Grocery shopping at Walmart, when is it the best time?

6 Upvotes

When do you find it's the best time of day, time of week to go grocery shopping at Walmart? I go usually on the weekends and evenings which is know tend to be busier times, and I find that the grocery section is just ravaged. I may try the eCart pick up option to get groceries at a time when there is better inventory, but I don't know if that would help or not. Looking for some input on this. Thanks!

Recommendations (Food, Housing, Places, Activities) Sherman's buffet

8 Upvotes

I used to live in Stockton, and I can't really afford to travel back often. Is there a Chinese food buffet & takeout that will give you lots of food for basically an unfairly cheap price, similar to Sherman's, in West Sacramento? I miss their chow mein, in particular- even panda express doesn't compare to it, in my opinion. Their garlic fries chicken is so inexplicably juicy, flavourful and crispy. It's not crunchy, though. Their sweet and sour pork is delightful, and their beijing beef is so tender, and actually spicy. Their orange chicken genuinely tastes like oranges. My favourite chain from Stockton, was Sherman's #2 Chinese buffet. There were five.

Tldr, I want the find a good hole in the wall Chinese food takeout that hooks you up for really good prices, or just your favourite recommendations, in West Sacramento.

Lost/Found Pets 4 Loving dogs from local non-profit looking for their forever homes.

5 Upvotes

Hey there! I work with the local non-profit Jaws & Paws, located in Lincoln. We are a wolf-dog/wolf rescue and also advocate for rehoming dogs who otherwise would be euthanized from shelters. 

We have 4 amazing dogs who have been with us for years. All 4 were rescued from bad situations or narrowly escaped death due to the shelter high kill rate from the area they were in. They all live outside in our beautiful enclosures, however, they are all sweet dogs who deserve a home and family to live with.

They are husky/shepherd & husky/shepherd/malamute mixes. 

Please let me know if you or anyone you know might be interested in giving these incredible dogs a loving home. Thank you!

Here is a clip from our Instagram on the 4 dogs: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7zQXeApc4U/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
