Advice Finding a spot to study

• Upvotes

I live in South San Jose and the nearest library is the Los Gatos public library, but the parking there is limited to 90 minutes and requires reparking, I am looking for other spots where I can find some quiet and study for longer than 2 hours at a stretch. Any recommendations nearby, preferrably with WiFi?

Advice Opera vocal coach?

• Upvotes

Never sang opera, want to pick it up as a hobby. Any professor recs in the area? Preferably wouldn’t be at my own house, so their house or a studio or something.

Female preferred if it’s at their house, but not a requirement! Especially if you trust them.

Doesn’t need to be 1:1, can be class setting. Thanks :)

Advice Moving to SJ

• Upvotes

I'm going to be moving to San Jose in the next couple of months. Currently in the process of selling my home and I'll be able to afford up to 3.5 Million with a 4 bedroom type house. What is the the most decent neighborhood? I been to Willow Glen, and Evergreen. I'm not a fan of South San Jose. I'm even thinking about Mountain View. Pretty much want a place where there are a few local parks, nice bike paths, with a couple close shopping centers. Any recommendations.

Life in SJ Why do so many people run stop signs?!

34 Upvotes

Stop sign intersection nearest my house is right next to a school. On the daily I see cars run straight through it. Not even a California roll, just cruising straight past like it isn't there. It drives me crazy. I see this everywhere.

Can we get some input from stop sign runners?? Why do people think this is ok?!

Advice Where in San Jose can I get online prescription glasses checked for accuracy, preferably free?

0 Upvotes

I'm considering ordering prescription glasses online and would like to have them independently checked after delivery.

Does anyone know optical stores in San Jose or nearby that can verify the prescription (SPH, CYL, AXIS), optical center alignment, and unwanted prism using a lensometer or other equipment?

I'm particularly interested in Costco Optical, Target Optical, LensCrafters, or independent optical shops.

Do any of these stores offer this service for free, even if the glasses were purchased elsewhere? If not, how much do they typically charge?
