Rode by a large film crew on Skyline at the Windy Hill overlook. Anybody know who’s filming in town?

Hii!!
I recently moved to Redwood City but tomorrow I have to evacuate my apt for about 6hours during the day cause my apt is getting exterminated.
Does anyone know a workspace or a cafe that would allow a cat in a carrier?

Thank youu

I have a friend coming to town and we always tried to find the best cookies in a city when we traveled to a new place. In SF, that place was Jane but I haven’t found a good bakery here.. It can have any type of cookie but chocolate chip is preferred. Brownie points if it has good brownies and other pastries.

As long as it’s between like San Mateo and Mountain View, it’s close enough. It can’t be a non-local chain.

I keep hearing reports of ICE close by (specifically San Jose and Palo Alto). Stay alert neighbors! Watch out for each other! If anyone needs assistance (picking up kids from school etc) feel free to ask for it here. Looks like it may be time to step up and help our community.

Not sure if someone had a bike stolen recently but it's currently abandoned on Oddstead road right off of Veterans blvd.

Hi everyone,

My husband recently had a cardiac event resulting in advanced heart failure. His doctor is with UCSF and referred him to cardiac rehab up in San Francisco, but the commute into the city multiple times a week will be too exhausting for him right now.

Our doctor is willing to submit an external referral if we find a local program on the Peninsula.

Has anyone or their family members had personal experience with local cardiac rehab programs around here? I would love to hear any feedback on the care, staff, wait times, or how easy it was to coordinate a referral.

Thank you so much for any insights!

hi, I was hoping to take the behind the wheel test in rwc soon, but when I look at the dmv website there's no open appointments for redwood city or san mateo until January. I've scheduled drive tests twice before, one time I failed and one time I had to cancel, but for both I only made the appointment a few weeks out. I was wondering if anyone knows if appointments typically open regularly and what time would be best to check, or if I actually have to wait three months

Today around 2:56 p.m., a group of young people on bicycles threw what appeared to be a cup of milk tea or a similar drink at our moving car in Redwood City. It hit the glass and splashed liquid onto the vehicle.
The incident happened near the ENCORE apartment building on Veterans Boulevard, believed to be near the Main Street intersection.
Our Tesla dashcam captured the entire incident.

❗️This was frightening and dangerous. Throwing something at a moving vehicle can obstruct the driver’s view and cause a crash. I’m planning to report it to Redwood City police and provide the footage.
If you’re driving through the area, please stay alert and keep your distance if you see anyone throwing objects at vehicles. Avoid confronting them.
Did anyone else witness this or experience something similar in the area today?
Please share any firsthand information. This post is a safety warning, please don’t post anyone’s personal information or encourage harassment.

Thought I heard multiple shots in the jefferson x el Camino area. Just curious if there’s more info.

Hiiiiii I'm coming to an event in Redwood City that ends around midnight, this will be on a Monday. Are Ubers commonly available around that time on Mondays in Redwood City or should I figure out another way to get home? I'm coming from another city (SF) and I dont drive. Let me know your best recommendations. Thank you!

40M looking to have fun and avoid injury #ninergang. Are there any men’s leagues or adult leagues in Redwood City or close by?

We are looking into Orion for TK, and we understand there is parent participation but I can't find any details about it. Is it a weekly/daily/monthly commitment of hours? Or how does it work? Could someone help me with details please?

Does anyone have recommendations for a great dog trainer in RWC? My dog is 3 years old and seems to be getting more reactive as time goes on. She’s sweet but some other dogs set her off on leash. I’m looking to have better walking with her as well as better listening overall. Any personal experiences welcome!

My wife and I are going to a concert at Shoreline on Thursday and haven't been there in many years. I remember how much it sucked getting stuck in their lots after the show. Does anyone have parking suggestions that don't include the Shoreline lots? We don't mind walking a mile or so from off-site parking to avoid getting trapped afterward.

If approved by a majority of voters, Measure E will cap increases for units built prior to Feb. 1, 1995, at 5% or 60% of the inflation rate based on the Consumer Price Index — around 2.28% for San Mateo County — whichever is lower. The new increases will be calculated and added based on the cost of rent in October 2025. The laws would go into effect in December.
