Thought you guys would get a kick out of her interview from our very niche San Francisco East Bay Magazine: Diablo - The Magazine of the East Bay. And yes we do very much claim her.
Thought I'd share this photo of why traffic is being held up on 580 and Isabel Ave. 580 eastbound was backed up for miles on end. With several people outside of their cars or on top of their cars probably wondering what is going on.
Well here is the answer.
Otherwise, no comments or opinions on my part, just sharing a photo.
Those of you that moved from an average school district to then into schools in Livermore or Pleasanton area. Was it worth it? What stuck out the most compared to other districts? We have young kids and trying to figure out if we can stay and supplement or if it’s worth the move long term.
Thanks
Hi,
I am fairly new to working in town and am meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow. She is from Danville, so I figured I would ask recommendations of places to try.
Thanks!
To my knowledge, the ONLY forum that we’ll have to hear from all CA-14 congressional primary candidates is happening over Zoom next Saturday, May 16th, from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Anyone who registers in advance can submit questions ahead of time, and I’m happy to submit any questions you have on your behalf & report back with their answers!
I’m personally already pretty confident that I’m voting for Matt Ortega, but I want to help provide answers for my fellow voters in a race where we’re not getting half as much time & information as we deserve.
Also, please register to watch the forum yourself if you’ve got some free time next Saturday:

I currently live in Dublin and thinking about moving here. How’s the area these days? Safe overall? Would love to hear any honest opinions before make a decision. Thank you for your time 🥹
Hi everyone, I’m traveling to the area in early June (Monday - Wednesday) and will have my spouse with me. Originally I was told I’d be in San Francisco but recently found out the details and it derailed all of our potential plans.
Any recommendations for a couple in their mid 30s that enjoys art museums, good food, fun interactive events/classes, music and dancing?
I've been offered a position at LLNL and am looking at the housing and day care landscape.
I'd be coming from New Mexico and I'm trying to decide if a 20% raise would even come close to covering the cost of living increase.
Any ladies have internships at the lab that need a room to rent? You would have your own bathroom as well. We’re two girls with 7 cats though lol. 1200/month. 10 mins from lab.
Heya! I grew up in Livermore, though moved overseas a decade or so ago. I was feeling nostalgic and wandering around town in google maps, only to see that the totem pole in centennial park was missing. Looking for news about it, it looks like it was removed for restoration in 2021.
I can't find any more recent articles about it - 5 years seems like a good long while for restoration. Anyone have any more info? And more importantly, what does this mean for the sewers!? Is the curse lifted, or somehow deepened by this new development?
Edit: Someone posted a link hidden in a Nextdoor comment thread, I believe from Mayor Marchand (not sure how to confirm that on Nextdoor, first time using it):
> Totem poles typically have a life expectancy of around 50 years. The Livermore pole was over 50 years old and was showing its age. In fact, the beak and wings had fallen off and its structural integrity had been compromised over the years of exposure to the weather and pest infestation.
> Sometimes, historically significant poles by master carvers in the Pacific Northwest are recreated. However, the Livermore pole was carved by a member of the Chippewa tribe, which has no totem pole tradition. Similarly, the Miwok and Ohlone tribes, which lived in our region, have no totem pole tradition and built no permanent structures. Tlingit and Haida tribes, which do have a totem pole tradition, didn’t live here. Concerns had also been expressed that designs were copied from a much revered Tlingit carver without permission.
>
> California law regarding public art is explicit in that there can be no alterations or modifications to a piece of public art without the expressed permission of the artist. Fifteen years ago, I had suggested some conservation efforts on the pole. The artist would not participate unless he was paid thousands of dollars as “a consultant” to come back to Livermore. The leadership of the Tlingit and Haida tribes also requested that the pole not be replaced.
>
> The pole was taken down in 2021 and is in storage. It is my understanding that because of its weakened condition and cultural misappropriation, the pole will not be replaced.
> Meanwhile, there are recreations of Ohlone structures at the East Bay Regional Parks Coyote Hills Recreation Area in Fremont.
Just looking to get it done quick with no bs
Just moved here a few months ago and noticed our water from our fridge tasted a bit thick and odd so finally tested it. I’ve already changed out the filter a few weeks ago but that didn’t help. Tap shows 435ppm.
I’m wondering if this is a common thing for this area? There’s already a water softening system for the whole house but do ppl add a whole home filtration system? Any recommendations for just a decent system that connects to refrigerator to pump out clean water and ice? TIA
In town till Friday on a work trip, Is there anything fun/cool to do in the Afternoon's/Evenings.. open to all suggestions! APPRECIATE YALL :)
I’m looking at properties near the closed golf course and saw some comments saying the HOA isn’t being managed and any home improvement requires approval from 10 neighbors. Is that still true??
Hey all!
I’m desperately looking for a Hi8 Camcorder (with Playback) or VCR to transfer some old family films to digital before they degrade completely. Happy to borrow to transfer or purchase outright for a decent price.
If you’re not sure of your camcorders capabilities, I’m more than happy to chat and can check if it would work. I had no idea it’d be such a struggle to find these camcorders.
Thanks in advance!
Hi- any shoe cobblers in livermore? need to get my fav pair of shoes repaired.
