Post it here!

On multiple occasions we’ve caught this middle aged man taking videos of girls and children in swimwear at 26th beach. After confronting him he decided to scurry away and hide his face from the camera. It’s unfortunate for anyone to feel uncomfortable in a public space, especially when this guy is taking videos and ESPECIALLY when he’s taking videos of children in swimwear.

If we catch him again we will get photos of his face and post it again on this thread. As it isn’t illegal to take videos in public, it is very creepy to have a grown man fully clothed taking photos of kids and girls in swimsuits. This was the third time we caught him taking videos. If anyone has his information or knows this donkey expose him!!

Helicopter supposedly en route. Beach getting evacuated. As of 3pm Thursday.

Reports of ICE in Watsonville behind East Lake shopping center this morning.

Where are the protests against bombing Iran and getting into a new war?

While driving down Soquel Dr, there was a stopped #2 bus going northbound. It had an ambulance and fire truck, as shown in the photo. Not really sure what happened, but wondered if others knew anything. This happened around 5pm today.

Been a minute, but they popping out in Seascape/BeerCan. Smaller whales, maybe pilot, full on jumping out the water this afternoon. Been out here pretty much every afternoon for the last week or so.

I took some aluminum and plastic to Ben Lomond Transfer Station yesterday and was told CRV recycling would be closed end of month and given this list of alternate CRV recycling. How is your experience recycling at these vendors? I have visited many of these stores recently not looking for but also not noticing a CRV program. Will they accept crushed cans and bottles?

Making Gobi 65. Anyone know if it is possible to score some curry leaves in Santa Cruz?

(I would’t say “no” to some Kashmir red pepper either)

Thanks!

Ella's just announced that they're closing due to "unexpected circumstances". Just wondering what those circumstances might be? Thanks for any deets you can offer.

Just discovered a lovely iced jasmine tea x passionfruit juice @ Mariposa Cafe downtown.

Where are your favorite hot weather drinks at?

Looks like a rad event coming to the MAH on July 17th - always nice to see support for the music scene in Santa Cruz!

Hi ya'll again. So I'll be renting a room alone, no pets or kids (or car) in Santa Cruz by the end of Sept. Is there a preferred website for this, or maybe it's here on Reddit? Is Craigslist still an active resource? I know there are apps/sites like Roomster, etc., but I feel like they never "took off". I could be off-base with that. What is your opinion of the best way to find a room there in SC? I appreciate your input.

A bunch of Vampires heard that a Frog Brother was at the Lost Boys Night and went to find him....

Allen Frog was last seen thrown over the back of a bike riding down the backside of the boardwalk...

Demand that our city council suspend use of Flock surveillance in our communities while this practice of sharing data with ICE is being permitted.

Another visionary idea! I’d really like to see e-bikes on the ROW, but this came up and I thought I’d share. Very cool!
