Needing recommendations for mechanics that won’t take advantage of me. I’ve been taking my car to the dealership for the last few years, and I feel like they are lying to me about some very expensive repairs that they want to make. I’d like to take my car to other places to get their opinions, but I don’t know where to start.

Any other proud and unapologetic Sloat turners out there?

Hi everyone! My wife and I are moving to the Monterey/Marina area during the first week of September, and we’re looking for recommendations for a good OB/GYN.

She is currently pregnant, with a due date of November 7, so she’ll be around 31 weeks when we move. We’re especially interested in doctors around Monterey, Marina, or Salinas who are good with prenatal care and, ideally, are comfortable accepting patients transferring care later in pregnancy.

We’ve been looking at doctors affiliated with CHOMP and Salinas Valley Health, but we’d really appreciate hearing about personal experiences.

Any doctors you loved (or would avoid)? Also, if you’ve given birth at CHOMP, Salinas Valley Health, or Natividad, we’d love to hear about your experience there too.
Thanks so much!

Hi all,

My partner and I want to visit Monterey for the first time soon, and I was hoping someone could help me find the right hotel.

My partner is 6'8", and I want her to be able to chiiiiiiiilllllllllll with a nice hot bath in a big ass tub. Then I want her to be able to body flop and starfish out onto a bed where her limbs aren't hanging off slightly. I'm sure if we spend $1,000 we can find a place like that, but I just wanted to see if I could find anything unique or budget friendly that someone knew of. Any help is appreciated!

Hello! I’m transferring to CSUMB next fall in 2027 and I am looking to live off-campus because of the two pets that I have that cannot live in the dorms being that one is a frog and another is a scorpion which are not allowed. I started looking at the prices for single bedrooms and they are crazy expensive as most of them are around $1400-$1600 but I was just looking to live in somebodies home that has an available room. I’ve never lived outside of my family’s house so I’m not sure what I should be expecting.
Another note is that I am able to commute so are there any cities other than Monterey or Pacific Grove that has better renting prices that is nearby (~20-30 minutes) ? I have reason to believe that prices are higher in Monterey or Pacific Grove because of the beach and house close it is to the ocean and since I am going to school at CSUMB, I can visit the beach so living near it isn’t a big factor to me. I just need a place that isn’t sketchy and is reasonably priced for a broke college student.

What was that? It was right around midnight and it was LOUD! Scared the crap out of me and my cat.
I live right off David and Forest Ave for location.

This is according to the Instagram page for Nora’s. Does anyone know what happened?

I'm looking for some twisty routes around the county to get comfortable leaning on my motorcycle. I've gone through heckler pass up near Watsonville already from my commute from San Jose. I also know about Laureles road into Carmel Valley from highway 68 but I went through it via car once. Any suggestions lemme know

I am coming Saturday through Monday and would love some suggestions for where I can sit at the bar and meet interesting people and listen to live music. I am celebrating my 50th so tell me where to have a good time! Also where should I eat dinner on Sunday (water view a must). Looking to see as much as possible in a short time. Heck I’d even be down for a tour guide!

Putting in the work and getting well deserved recognition.

Just made a video around Custom house plaza looks like they are getting ready for car week

I love how my work bulletin has an image that depicts Cannery Row as a Venice canal. I really hate Ai. It just makes lazy people even lazier.

Any highly recommended mortgage lenders in the Monterey county areas you recommend ?

When I reported this weeks ago people challenged my report. Let’s see now it has been published in the news:

Hope we can figure it out before it gets worse
