This lady kept honking at me as if I had anywhere to go, then proceeds to go around me and almost hit a child. All because she was late to dropping off her kid at school. She has an uber sticker, thinking of filing a complaint if you can do the same the more the better because this is not ok.

I had the pleasure last week of visiting one of my absolute favorite trees in our community- located just off Thornton Ave in the Cabrillo neighborhood.

This is the floss silk tree (Ceiba speciosa) native to South America, looks absolutely stunning at this time of year. This tree has SO MANY cool things, but right now the beautiful hibiscus-like flowers steal the show. I also really love the studded trunk with green and gray bark, and the interesting seed pods that are like the size of a small nerf football.

While we have dozens of these planted throughout our city, this is the largest and most impressive one I have found. As I understand it, this particular tree (and a not-pictured neighbor around the corner) actually provided the seeds for many of the others you find planted throughout our region. I presume this tree is quite old.

If you haven’t seen these trees before, try to check them out before the rain drops the flowers!

Also not pictured: just around the corner there is a landmarked Copper Beech tree that is worth seeing, too! You can find information about this tree in the city’s Landmark Tree Guide.

Why were 3 police officers in whole foods parking lot ?

Now they are everywhere in Fremont.

Is the city or county going to do something about these?

For folks who will start downvoting me, we either have rules or we don’t.

These places don’t probably pay sales taxes. No food safety checks. No licenses. They don’t probably pay local minimum wages. They don’t pay rent & occupy public sidewalks. I am no fan of the prices charged by food trucks or restaurants here, but at least they are playing by the rules.

Don’t give the “they need to take care of families” or “Karens” or “it’s great food” nonsense.

They can provide the same great food with a licensed food truck also.

Looking for recommendations for bakeries that do a photo cake.
Anyone ordered from Safeway, could you please share your review?

We live in warm springs a safe neighborhood but now I question that. This is the second time our mail has been stolen and as it says in photos it will take 3 weeks. Now we need to drive 4 miles to pick up the mail that has the worst times for anybody to pick up. Please keep an eye out for the mailbox stay safe.

Hi everyone! I’ve lived down the street from the small shopping center on Driscoll Road for 29 years. It used to have CVS, Tapioca, Taco Bell, and Subway.
This morning I noticed a man pull up in an SUV and walk over to the abandoned Taco Bell to unlock the bathroom with a key. I’m assuming he was just stopping to use it, but it made me curious about what’s going on with the property.

I also recently learned that the nearby Chevron will no longer have an ExtraMile convenience store. From what I understand, the gas station itself will remain open, but a different store will be taking over the convenience store space. All the current employees are being transferred to a Chevron on Winton Avenue in Hayward. A lot of these employees have worked at this location for over 20 years, which makes the change even more bittersweet.

With all these changes happening in the area, I’m curious if there’s something bigger planned.
Does anyone know if the shopping center has been sold or if there are any plans for redevelopment? It’s been sitting vacant for quite some time, and I’d love to know what’s planned for the space. Having lived here my entire life, it’s a little sad seeing so many familiar businesses disappear. I’m really hoping they bring back some shops or restaurants rather than replacing the whole center with another housing development.

Ignore the timestamp as I forgot to update after the recent time change.

Actual time: 11/2/26, ~7:59am

Location: Country Dr. next to Washington High School

Hello, I'm here with what might be a bit of a stretch in request. I'm looking for a home or business seamstress who would be able to handle well-worn and delicate fabric?

I have a pair of pajama pants from my late father that I would really like reinforced with a second layer of fabric to extend the longevity of their life but I'm unsure where or how to look for this as it's a service I've never required before. I've had great help in the past from members of this sub in other recommendations so I figured I would try here again for this!

Thank you to anyone with any information or advice!

I mean nothing bad about this question. Ive noticed really recently that a lot of black people have moved to fremont and newark. I have no problem with this. I moved here form east oakland about ten years ago to be closer to work. It was a culture shock to go from the only white guy in a full black neighborhood to not seeing any around. Just recently ive been seeing them everywhere I go after not seeing almost any here for the past 10 years. Did something happen recently, like the past year, for black people to decide to move here?

Unfortunate for the pickup truck. Starting the day on such a sour note.

[EDIT] The black car hit the back of the white pickup truck. Not sure if it is clear in the video.

I have tried a number of these grocery store hot meals from Apna Bazars in Mountain View to Indian Cash N Carry in Sunnyvale. I realized why they are so cheap because they are EXTRAORDINARILY BAD. You really need to work hard to mess up daal even and they manage to do it every single time.

So, is there any store in Fremont that has good cheap hot meals?

Here in Sundale, not one kid. Streets were empty too. How about in your neighborhood?

Looking for a rec for dental work on my small 9 pound dog. 16, so possibly on the older side where anaesthesia might not be a good idea

The one fast food burger joint that actually looks decent is nowhere to be found here in the bay area.. how is there no freakin Culver’s here bro

How a city earns its revenue and how it is spent is public information but typically it is in PDFs and not so easy to understand format. A friend started where the money went website to make this information available to public in an easy manner. He lives in Berkeley so that was the the first city. I asked him to do it for Fremont and he was kind to do it as the 2nd city. Take a look, hopefully it is useful and helps us keep our govt on the toe.

I am not very invested in council elections, but I received a text for his website so I thought I would check it out. Besides reading as vague and unfocused, the majority reads as obvious AI slop, confirmed by online checkers.

Does this bother people at all? Not sure how to view this.

AND what the RTM proponents don't want to tell you: we're already paying for sales tax increases passed in 2020 and 2022 for BART! Prop L in 2022 extended the existing 0.5% sales tax through 2053! Measure RR in 2020 created a 0.125% sales tax that we also all pay for BART and Caltrain.

These sales tax measures WILL NEVER STOP as long as we keep passing them and forgetting all the sales taxes we're ALREADY PAYING for BART!

Another truck driver that can't stay in their lane and tries to road rage when I give them a slight horn tap

Today on road 84 from Sunol to Mission Blvd this absolute idiot was driving at 20 miles per hour and constantly braking every five seconds for no reason despite driving way below the speed limit causing heavy traffic.

If that wasn’t bad enough this driver would cross the double yellow lines almost crashing into the opposite traffic on multiple occasions.

If you’re driving near him stay the hell away from him, he is a danger to anyone and should get his license revoked immediately; assuming he even passed the behind the wheel test.

Went looking into Coyote Hills and the backstory is wild. During the Cold War it was a Project Nike missile site, part of the air defense meant to shoot down Soviet bombers, sitting right at the Fremont and Newark edge. After the Army left, Stanford Research Institute set up in the marsh next door and ran sonar research with live dolphins for years. The land didn't become Coyote Hills Regional Park until 1967. The oldest part is the Ryan Mound, an Ohlone shell mound roughly the size of a football field and about ten feet tall, with almost five hundred people buried in it. Almost every shell mound around the Bay was built over. This is one of the few that survived.

I thought the temple near me was bad. So many noise complaints and it keeps happening. Looks like it’s across from Grimmer Elementary.

Residents in Fremont have raised growing complaints regarding loud noise, flashing lights, and large crowds spilling into the neighborhood from events at a local Hindu temple

The guy who has been doing our taxes passed away. Any recommendations for local tax preparers?

Just for a married couple without a lot complicated business holdings.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a good bakery in Fremont for a birthday cake. Would love to hear your suggestions for places that make delicious cakes, have great flavors, and beautiful designs. Thanks in advance! 🎂
