I just got out of the hospital, and I thought I would be okay to manage on my own, but I'm not. I can barely stand up.

I need help getting my puppies safely into my car this weekend and then later safely out of my car. We have been asked to participate in a puppy Event in San Francisco, and I don't want to let the organizers down.

Is there anyone who would be willing to help, please? They are very sweet puppies and weigh about 2 to 3 lb each, four of them.

Thanks!

Did anyone else attend Fostoberfest this past weekend and wonder what was going on? It didn’t seem like there was any traditional Octoberfest food, beverages, music or anything beyond a normal Foster City event in the park. I was excited for an event to bring this great Bavarian tradition to our city, but I left feeling like the event organizers wasted my family’s time on a weekend. And wasn’t there supposed to be a band on Sat evening, and why did things seem to close so early? This just seems like it was a bust and run by people that don’t even know what a fun Octoberfest event is supposed to be like.

Hi Foster City,

One year ago we opened Ohm Dental with a fresh sign, a lot of nerves, and a strong hope that someone would show up. You did. 🎉

Thank you for the kind reviews, which we read more often than we'd like to admit and which have kept our team smiling. It's been a privilege to take care of this community, and we're excited to keep doing it.

If you're new here, or you've been dodging a cleaning since 2024, come say hi. We'd love to meet you.

Dr. Omid, Ohm Dental

asking for a friend but she heard 3 long whistle blasts (abt 6-7 sec each) with about a 30 sec break between this was about ten minutes ago

anyone else hear it or know what it could mean? our current best guess is 🧊 but it doesn’t match any of the patterns we’ve heard about but yk you never know…

Someone’s boat got stuck on the pedway today (10102026 - 1PM)… north of the bridge. It’s stuck on the rocks due to really high tide.

Hi! Was thinking of signing up my baby for local recreation classes in the fall. She’s 16 months old and I’m wanting her to socialize a bit more. Any recommendations?

And then it just abruptly stopped! It was like a loud ringing, my wife heard it first then pointed it out to me, then it got louder until it cut off. She says it’s been doing that for weeks but tonight is my first time hearing it!
Did anyone else hear that or am I just going crazy? Lol

I need help moving a couch from outside my house to inside my house...about 13 feet. Is there anyone who knows anyone who can help and how much they charge?

This is being discussed on a few Facebook groups right now. Permits say opening may be in 12 months.

Are there any hookah spots in foster city or near that has hookah and football games playing?

It was so nice to walk south along the water from behind the youth center and boat launch by Foster City Lagoon. (You can still access the area from the walkway beside the overpass south of the apartments but can’t walk through because of the padlocked gate.) Such a shame!

Helping a friend find someone to take over a room in a waterfront townhouse in Foster City.

Rent: $2,367/month + utilities
Available: Now
Room: Private bedroom + private bathroom
Location: Schooner Bay Apartments, 300 Timberhead Lane, Foster City

Furnished option: The room can come furnished if needed. My friend is also open to selling the mattress, large workstation/desk setup, lights, and other room furniture to the incoming roommate.

Location highlights
• Close to Zoox, Visa, EA, Oracle, and other Foster City/San Mateo offices
• Bikeable to Belmont Caltrain
• Right by the Bay Trail for running, biking, and waterfront walks
• Quiet waterfront community with beautiful views

Home + amenities
• In-unit washer/dryer
• Large living room + full kitchen
• Balcony overlooking the water
• Gym + pool
• Tennis + basketball courts
• Lots of parks, trails, and outdoor space nearby

Roommate: You’ll be living with a 23-year-old software engineer at EA who works hybrid. She’s friendly, relatively tidy, and enjoys gaming, board games, reading, and dance. She also has two very friendly cats.

It’s a great option for someone who wants waterfront trails and outdoor space while staying close to the major Foster City/San Mateo offices.

DM me if interested or if you know someone who may be looking.
