Please use iceinmyarea.org to report ICE, and post here. I’m committing to show up and help keep them out of Modesto and surrounding cities. I implore you to do the same. We need to show up for our community. We need to control immigration through the legal system and due process, not by allowing masked shitheads to harass hard working people just because they’re brown.

And please vote.

I normally run pretty late at night because it works with my work schedule and long commute. That unfortunately ends tonight. I’ve had some sketchy(ish) situations before but nothing where i felt threatened or truly unsafe. Tonight, i ran past a dude (who was seemingly homeless, but idk) who tried to ask me for something. Obviously, it’s dark and i’m a woman— I say no regardless of who or what is being asked if it’s dark at night and i’m running or getting gas. That’s just a hard line for me. so, i say no (firmly). I kept running, dude turns around and jogs past me, but then slows down just enough so he’s right in front of me. I stop completely and just wait. He immediately stops and pretends like he’s adjusting his pants for a solid 10 seconds. I start running again, and he immediately starts running again right behind me. I turn around and snap “knock it the **** off”. He pretty much stops, slows down but keeps walking in the same direction i’m running. I cut my run short and sprint home, looking over my shoulder the entire time. No more night time runs for me. Any ladies out there running that path, keep an eye out and carry pepper spray or something. i can’t say what his intentions were and maybe i’m just being crazy, but be cognizant and keep something on you just in case.

Halloween is coming up and I want to give my 1yr old son the old school experience of knocking on doors this year. Anyone passing out candy or know of neighborhoods close by to me (oakdale and orangeburg) that are passing out candy? HMU and lmk. Thanks!

Was seeing what’s around on Halloween since no kids and it’s a Saturday. Any places doing anything fun for adults?

So I have class until 9 and the show ends at 10 are you able to enter that or no and would it even be worth it?

Looking for something fascinating to watch tonight? Come to the State Theater at 7 for a free screening of Ask E. Jean , a documentary about the amazing writer and bon vivant who won a lawsuit against Donald Trump. Tickets are free but donations will be accepted to support Haven. Check it out!

I don't think we have a lot of good bbq spots in town, or if we do I don't know of them. Anyone have a good spot for ribs? I rarely eat them but have been craving them lately. The best bbq spot I last ate at was big vics in turlock. Their brisket was good, the tri-tip was a little on the dry side, but with some sauce it was ok. And their sides were good as well.

I’ve been seeing soooo many ads for Spookfest in Modesto. Does anyone know which bars it includes? How far down the street will be closed off. If I am planning to go out that night in Modesto, is it better to just buy a ticket??

So far the only place I’ve found them in town is at the Collectible shop in the mall. I just tried Simply Unlucky but they don’t have any there. I know it’s a really small niche in the card community, but it would be rad to find another spot in town for them.

I am really tired of his ai heavy posts on social media so I drafted this up:
I have serious concerns regarding Councilmember Chris Ricci’s judgment in proposing projects that we believe could expose the City of Modesto to excessive financial obligations and unnecessary risks to its long-term fiscal stability.

I believe these proposals threaten to divert taxpayer resources from essential municipal services, infrastructure maintenance, and other community priorities.

I am particularly concerned that committing public funds to financially unsustainable projects could increase the city’s debt burden and, under sufficiently adverse circumstances, contribute to a risk of municipal insolvency.

I also believe Councilmember Ricci has demonstrated a disconnect from the needs, concerns, and priorities of the constituents he was elected to represent. In our view, his approach to major spending decisions does not adequately reflect the financial interests of District 3 residents.

Because why not?

I am a major YIMBY advocate (among other things) from Missouri who just moved to Modesto to be with family, so I felt like giving my new home a little love.

Here is my little light rail concept, which I am dubbing the Modesto Trolley. My initial intention was to add rail along major streets in Modesto, specifically McHenry Ave. The red line shown was my initial concept, running down from McHenry north of Sylvan/Standiford, to a loop downtown on J and H streets, past the future HSR/ACE station and down H/Paradise into West Modesto stopping just before Wade. The Blue line is my first addition to this concept, running from Vintage Fair, down past the MJC campuses on 9th Ave, past the aforementioned HSR/ACE station, all the way to North Ceres, stopping past Mitchell along Hatch.

Most of this runs along existing roads so it will be much cheaper compared to dedicated right-of-way, although some parts have their own right-of-way, mostly along the blue line in particular. Most expensive part will certainly be a tunnel under the 99 at Briggsmore/Carpenter, running from the Carpenter/MJC West station all the way to Prescott, where the train will emerge in the median. Another challenge will be a viaduct in Ceres, where the trolley would run high above the 99 connecting the southern end of 9th to Hatch. The tunnel and viaduct would be necessary to avoid complicating existing traffic at the Briggsmore/Carpenter and Hatch interchanges respectively.

This was made assuming signal priority would be implemented (which is a must for any rail line sharing right-of-way with cars).

And here is the Google Earth project for you to look at:

My bike was stolen off of campus at MJC west. I know the odds of me getting it back are low but if ya'll could keep an eye out for me and just let me know if you spot it. I already filed a report both with campus security and Modesto pd. It has been spotted on River rd being ridden by a young possibly Hispanic woman. If you see it please please reach out. I'm heartbroken, that was my one and mode of independent transportation and it meant so much to me. Very identifiable, its a bright green with a parrot emblem on the front above the tire. It was originally marketed as a Jimmy buffet bike and has a yellow pineapple cup holder as well as baskets and a rear view I added onto it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am getting married soon and would like to know if anyone knows of a place that does wedding cakes with different flavors. I was thinking maybe an exotic coconut guava cake. Or something that is not the traditional boring cake.

I was also thinking of catering sweets and pastries. I will attach a picture. Not sure if maybe I can get the cake and sweets from the same place.

I have a few phone numbers of photographers but I am still new to the area and would like recommendations.

That would be near the Modesto area. Thank you in advance.

Saw Spiderman brand new day and looked up what a banh mi is and now I wanna try it lmfao. The roast pork ones look good. Any recommendations strictly in Modesto?
