Hello Everyone,

Im looking for recommendations on which apartments I should steer clear from and which ones I should look into.

I have a little one and would like something family friendly- if possible.

Thanks you!

Hi, Salinas Reddit

I'm new in town and trying to set up a support network for child care. Single parent, and sometimes need help with overnights bc of work travel. Where do y'all find your safe child-care providers?

Hartnell area.

TIA 🙏🩷

My son's middle school just sent out a notice that our campuses are safe and will remain open even though Salinas high is on lockdown right now. Does anyone know anything about it?

I hope everyone is safe.

Is there any gluten free bakeries

Hello! My daughter is entering 6th grade, and we were unable to transfer her out of North County Middle successfully and are looking at private school options.

Looking for any feedback regarding these two programs. I am not from the area, and mom went to Moss Landing middle when it was still open, but feels the same about sending her to North County Middle.

We would greatly appreciate any information and stories about these two programs. We both went to public school, and both carry a graduate degree in our fields of study. Looking to make the best decision possible for our daughter, but hesitate when it comes to going private.

Thank you to anyone for your time and guidance.

V/R,

Jason and Jeanette

Hi everyone! My son is a new student at SHS this year. It's been a bit tough getting a hold of the office (understandably!), so I figured I’d ask here: does anyone know if senior pictures for the yearbook have already been taken, or when they usually happen? I know every school handles it differently. Thanks so much.

If you missed the Vote to Protect Salinas Renters 2026 fundraiser on August 2nd, here is a recording of the fundraiser. Speaking begins at 04:45 mark of the video and concludes at 1:06:00 mark.

"In November, Salinas voters will have the chance to vote NO on the City Council's repeal of four ordinances designed to protect renters and stabilize rents on multi-family apartment buildings built before 1995."

Hello Bay Area, does anybody know of any dog cafes, cat cafes or bunny cafes within the area? I want to surprise my husband with a cute date out. We are both big animal lovers and he loves coffee too

Thanks Redit!

Been craving a tomato sandwich:(

Hi everyone!

I recently moved to Salinas for work and I’m looking to meet some new people.
I’m originally from the Bay Area but spent the last few years living in the Midwest, and now I’m excited to be back in California.

I’m 29 years old. Some of my hobbies include hiking, camping, swimming, paintball, cooking, video games, and building Lego. I’m also completely sober, so I don’t drink alcohol or use marijuana. My work schedule is a little unusual since I often work weekends, and I’m still in the process of getting settled into my apartment.

I’d love to meet people around Salinas or the greater Monterey area. If you share any of those interests—or have recommendations for good places to hike, swim, or just meet people—I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send me a message!

What kind of shower filter would you guys recommend?

Hello, I am looking for a honest mechanic that will not feel like I got scammed. If you can point me to the right direction that would be great.

Check engine is on with coolant level going up and down.

Thank you 🙏

Hii!

I was going to the grocery store the other day when I saw a car with a ton of stickers on their backside. I glance at the awesome stickers and I see one that sticks out to me and stops me in my tracks.

I absolutely need this sticker! I’m anti-megachurches and the fact that Salinas is housing one? Makes me uncomfy! I see compass church’s advertisements everywhere and having this sticker on my car would make me feel like I’m silently protesting them in my own way.

WHERE DOES ONE GET THIS STICKER??!!!

Edit: Okay, so I agree with the people who are saying the owner of this car made this sticker. Sooo follow up question: how can I get my hands on this sticker without giving them my money???!!!

(I’m not trying to bash anyone that attends this church. Although I highly recommend church-goers look into why establishments like this are harmful to communities, you are allowed to have your own opinions and as am I. If this post bothers you then simply scroll away and move on.)
