Affordable apartments?

hello I was wondering if anyone knows about any apartments that are affordable around Vacaville/FF/suisun/dixon/Sacramento areas? I currently only work a part time job ik I will most likely need to work full time or if I want to afford I’d probably have to find a roommate

I’m trying to do research as much as possible before attempting to apply to places, any information is greatly appreciated!!👍

Places for calisthenics, free outdoor gyms in Vallejo?

Hey everyone,

I’ll be staying in Vallejo for a few months and I’m looking for good public places to train calisthenics — parks with pull-up bars, dip bars, outdoor workout stations, or even free public gyms/workout areas.

I mainly train bodyweight stuff (pull-ups, dips, muscle-ups, handstands, etc.), so I’d appreciate any recommendations for:

Calisthenics parks

Outdoor gyms

Parks with workout equipment

Free community gyms or recreation centers

Spots where local calisthenics people train

Bonus if it’s a safe area or if people usually train there regularly.

Thanks

Looking for a caterer in Vallejo or surrounding area

Throwing a party for my family in July in the Vallejo area it will be about 80 people currently we have decided on Olive Garden since it’s pretty affordable. It should be around 2500 bucks to feed everyone, but I also wanted to check and see if there was any other options in that budget. Let me know what caterers you have used in the past and the pricing on trays. I have some gluten-free guests as well so gluten-free options are a plus.

Minor Fire at Alibi Bookstore

Best of luck to the owner of Alibi (plus Anchor Pantry and the new Home Sewn stores). Power was out on the block with generators everywhere to keep the refrigerators running.

Anchor can't process sales today, but said she can do some stuff on a limited basis tomorrow, or bread at the front. Alibi was running without lights (but good sun) and a laptop for handling sales.

The fire was electrical (I think they said a breaker box), with PG&E out fixing it.

Ferry survey

Please fill out the survey. I put down bike lanes on Mare Island way. It's super dangerous over there people parking, getting in and out of their vehicle by the park. Tennessee really needs bike lanes too, but that wasn't on the survey.

Vallejo’s proposed affordable housing fees: are we making it harder to build here?

https://www.cityofvallejo.net/our_city/departments_divisions/planning_development_services/planning_division/long_range_projects/inclusionary_housing___commercial_linkage

I saw the City’s proposed affordable housing requirements / in-lieu fees for new residential development.

I support affordable housing, and I want Vallejo to remain an inclusive city. But I’m worried this policy could backfire by making it harder for new housing projects to pencil out.

A few reasons I’m concerned:

Vallejo is already one of the more affordable places to live in the Bay Area. We should be using that advantage to attract more housing, investment, and tax revenue — not making it harder to build here. I moved here because I couldn't afford Benicia.

Vallejo also already has a substantial amount of affordable housing, subsidized and Section 8, more so than many nearby cities.

The new Costco/Fairview at Northgate project is a good example of the kind of development we should want more of: new housing, retail, jobs, open space, tax revenue, and productive use of vacant land. This would be less likely to happen if the City adds more fees, mandates, or uncertainty. We have many vacant or run down buildings, these would further risk development

Curious what others think.

Who's got the freshest fish?

Hey Vallejo!

Doing a poke bowl party for a friend's birthday this weekend and looking for recommendations on where to find fresh salmon and tuna. I figure worst case scenario there's a good smoke salmon guy at the Walnut Creek Farmers market but I'd prefer plain raw salmon and tuna if anyone has a recommendation!

Christian Church?

I'm moving to Vallejo in the coming weeks and I want to find a Christian Church. I've been to The Hill but, personally, I didn't like it. I'm willing to drive and I want something like a family/ community type of feel.

Hi everyone, I’m currently looking for a company that does kitchen cabinet resurfacing. Costco doesn’t do it nor does another company that’s highly recommended. Has anyone had this done recently where you can recommend the company? I’m not looking for a handyman. I’m not looking for a sales pitch. I’m looking for someone who has actually had this work done to their kitchen? Thanks in advance!

Edit: we’re looking for new cabinet doors in addition to new vinyl for the cabinet box faces.

Note: this is a repost from her Facebook post

As we wrap up the busy month of April, there is a lot to share and look forward to in Vallejo.

The City Council welcomed Interim City Manager Harry Black, who will begin his service on May 16, at our council meeting on Tuesday. Thank you to the community members who turned out to the meeting. I look forward to working with Mr. Black - who brings a wealth of experience and track record of results - to move our City forward.

Our next council meeting will be this coming Tuesday, May 5, at 5pm where we will be reviewing the maritime strategic plan prepared by The Roosevelt Group and holding a budget workshop for the upcoming 2026-27 fiscal year budget - a difficult but important conversation as we work to address the structural deficit. Please join us in person or online if you are able.

Community events this past month included the opening of the RISE Vallejo Center, Easter and Earth Day events, and Día del Niño at Children's Wonderland. We held a public safety community meeting with the Sheriff and VPD at Emmanuel Temple Apostolic Church - where we heard community concerns and highlighted improvements in response time as a result of Vallejo's partnership with the Sheriff's Office. The live stream of that event is available on facebook at https://fb.watch/GQNoPoIkBM/

Finally, I am honored to have been selected by my fellow mayors as a representative on Solano LAFCO - the Local Agency Formation Commission, which oversees the boundaries of cities and special districts within our county. This is the first time that southern Solano has had representation on LAFCO in 25 years, and I look forward to working with colleagues to ensure our county grows responsibly and that there is public trust and participation in the process.
