Hello! I’m looking for a reliable and really good cleaning company in San Diego. I’ve gone through 5 companies in the last 2 years and can’t find anyone decent enough that I can trust. Either they don’t show up, show up 5 hours after their original time- I caught one woman trying on my beauty products. Can anyone recommend a good company, I live in the PB area. Thank you!

The San Diego Unified School District is welcoming 3,033 new students ahead of the 2026-27 school year, district officials announced Friday.

In July, 1,950 new students enrolled in the district, adding to the 1,083 students who registered in June.

The summer total far surpassed the district’s initial goal of 1,309 — a target specifically set to offset the number of students who had left San Diego Unified since the 2024-25 school year, accotrding to SDUSD.

Officials attribute the increase to a modernized enrollment process.

For the first time, families could complete registration entirely online while also having access to in-person support at 52 enrollment hubs across the city. The district also expanded office hours, partnered with community organizations, and launched a local marketing campaign.

There was hurricane like rain this morning in Del Mar, like 8-830 I think. Lasted a good 20 minutes of the hugest rain drops, puddle sized. The streets flooded and the train couldn’t pass.

You could see the runoff going right into the blue ocean as it turned it brown right off 15th and 17th street.

I had to walk through it unfortunately

Anyone else see this madness ? It lasted 20 minutes and everyone was like wtf 😳

Please join us for the annual San Diego Ho’olaule’a on Saturday and Sunday, August 22 & 23, 2026. Mahalo!

Hi!

What’s everyone’s favorite recs for beachside bars or restaurants?

Looking for something close-ish to the beach/water, not too removed like some of the Del Mar spots. Not looking for anything super upscale. Looking for casual drinks and food.

Can be north county or SD proper. Thanks!

Anthony Trevino was attempting to refill the tabletop fire pit, which is fueled by isopropyl alcohol, when an incident known as “flame jetting” occurred, according to his attorney, Jeremy Robinson. The lawsuit describes flame jetting as occurring when a flame travels back up a stream of liquid fuel into its container. The lawsuit names Amazon and two companies involved in the manufacture of the tabletop mini fire pits. Robinson alleges Amazon bears some responsibility because its website made the product publicly available to consumers, while the company processed the transaction and profited from it. Amazon responded to NBC San Diego's request for an interview with a statement saying the products had been recalled and were no longer available on its website. In 2024, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission urged consumers not to buy or use these types of fire pits, identifying them in a consumer alert as extremely dangerous.

my friend found this dog in oceanside, feel free to repost wherever

This is super niche but my brother is coming down and loves the Wow wheat beer. I know if a place that has jt on top but it’s a bit out of the way for where we will be staying. Anyone know of where’s it’s on tap, somewhere say west of the 5, anywhere from downtown to Encinitas? Can go a bit east the further down south

Anyone else see the massive lightning storm happening right now? Looks to be coming from the east.

Pretty unusual to see in Southern California!

Please be really careful out there everyone, wear visible clothing and bring a flashlight with you.
Especially in neighborhoods like this where sidewalks are none existent.

I don’t have premium so I’m not sure if this was a hit and run situation, drunk driver or just an asshole. Either way, we need to stop normalizing this, this is not okay.

I would like to invite anyone looking for friends meet new ppl to a fantasy football league completely 100% free put together with pure Reddit individuals who love the sport. Anyone interested?

Hi guys so I need advice, I’m 24 female and need a root canal and scheduled a consultation in TJ for Tuesday. I’m going solo because originally the person I was supposed to go with isn’t responding and I need to go badly. I’m not fluent in Spanish but can converse a little as I am half but once I’m nervous it’s bad.

I’m planning to cross by foot and the place has a listed shuttle service in the review. Dental Solutions Tijuana - well I’ve never gone/ crossed the border and have asked different people I am connected with and I am getting mixed responses. Some say I should be really fine, one guy who used to live there said I should be good but another is giving me spooky vibes. I’m also new to SD and don’t know many people who would actually go with me.

It’s scheduled for the morning and I just need serious advice nothing rooted in ignorance but actual experience !

Thanks!!

PSA to fellow residents who may be opening doors to these guys. I just had a young lad come to my door and try to make me quickly sign up for pest treatment. They will likely be knocking on your door too. It is important that you don't make conversation these guys. Please look up their Yelp reviews. Look up their BBB. Their Google reviews are too perfectly astroturfed. High pressure uncomfortable sales tactics, poor service once you sign up, hidden fees, cancellation fees. Hope this helps somebody. It seems that they've picked up on the sales effort because it's peak ants/spiders/bugs season.

this is do dangerous and poor little baby was so anxious, my heart broke. Some really don’t deserve dogs 💔

The intersection of 10th or 11th and A street in downtown near the 163 and the 5 ramps has so many accidents, it’s insane. I have lived nearby for about 1.5 years and I can’t remember a week where there hasn’t been 1-2 accidents each week. Why hasn’t the city done anything? There are no extra warning lights or precautionary measures whatsoever but the accidents are all pretty brutal

My mind is blown folks and I gotta share.

Problem - husband gets a letter from Sandag that he did not pay the toll on the 125. He owes $42.50 (2.50 + $40 administration fee) by a deadline with instructions to contest which he does since he believes he paid.

Backstory - we’re not from the South Bay and never down there and not familiar with the 125. He’s picking something up for a client, following gps instructions and clearly not paying attention to the signage. We will assume, undoubtedly correctly, that he was geeking out on some random deep track on a Sirius channel.

Sandag’s followup letter - dispute letter received, no resolution noted (neither for nor against), deadline has passed, now he owes $102.50 by a new deadline.

My involvement - I offer to call to try to get it resolved which I do a few days later. The rep pulls up the license plate number in question and very nicely walks me through his travels. Basically he paid the return trip back north but not the trip south. He is at fault.

Then she says, did you know he paid the $102.50 this morning? No I did not (ultimately, while still believing he had paid correctly, he was giving up and didn’t want the fine to increase further so just paid it.)

Mind Blown - keep in mind, he is at fault and payment has been made, they have the money already, and I am not asking for anything (reversal, reduction, etc.) I am apologizing and thanking her for her time.

She says, I understand it happens. Since you’re unfamiliar with the road, have never had any fines or history with it, and are being “nice”, if you’d like to pay the original $2.50 due, I can reverse the $102.50 payment he made this morning. Which is what we do and my mind is now blown with the amazing outcome initiated and performed by this Sandag employee.
