r/Davis

I know this is probably a long shot… but I’m looking for a vendor that I saw at the Whole Earth Festival a couple years ago. It was a really nice couple that were selling handmade canvas backpacks, bags, purses, etc. If anyone remembers their business name or has a link to their social media I would really appreciate it. I’m looking to buy a few of their backpacks and bags as gifts.

Driven around your town twice now and I tell all my passengers (Uber) that yall are super cool and the nicest people in the area. Just wanted to share an appreciation post. Yall make my second job manageable and worth it 🫡. You may have seen my tonight wearing my little gold chain but in all honestly if I could move I’d definitely move here. Students and residents are all amazing people

Hello everyone. I am a 25 M, thinking of relocating to Davis from the San Francisco Bay Area, CA.

I have always fell in love with the town of Davis since visiting the first time. It's small, tight-knit, and everyone seems to support and care for each other.

I am currently unemployed, but thinking of moving to this city and planting roots over there, but I don't know what employment or livelihood that is available for me. I am a college graduate and have a degree from UC Berkeley in media studies, but like most peers around my age, finding a job is not easy in our respective industries. Of course, I am also looking for remote jobs as it could be more convenient,

Ideally, I want to earn somewhere between $20-$25 for a full-time role, and I think that is enough for me since I have no dependents or car to maintain. If anything, I will likely splurge my money buying books, taking art lessons, or language classes.

I will appreciate any help, suggestions, or feedback you can give. I want to have this idea of slow life in Davis and hopefully focus on my craft later on.

Thank you in advance!

is at Outpost Burger and it's not close.

I'm so mad at myself for living here for 4 years and sleeping on that place until now.

I’ve been doing a deep dive into the different arguments surrounding Measure V, and as a homeowner planning to stay here for the next 10 to 15 years, I’ve decided I'm firmly in the YES camp.

Here is my rationale, looking at it through a long-term lens:

It protects our property values: A city's desirability is directly tied to its infrastructure and civic health. Passing this is an investment that actually protects and boosts home prices over the long haul.

The "Ghost Town" cautionary tale: I’ve been researching the phenomena of dying towns (like the $1 homes in Italy or abandoned suburbs in Japan). While the contexts are vastly different, the downward spiral always starts the same way: closing schools, a flatlining population, and eventual economic decline.

Vitality draws people (and businesses): Nobody wants to move to a town with a neglected downtown and limited community activities. A vibrant, growing population keeps our schools thriving, attracts better dining options, and keeps the city lively.

To me, a "Yes" vote isn't just about the immediate text of the measure—it’s about preventing stagnation and keeping our community vibrant for the next decade and beyond. We're literally bringing in families who will be invested in on the long term success of Davis.

Curious to hear where other long-term residents are landing on this!

Power just went out at my housing on campus. I need a place to plug in my laptop and do my homework today. Cafes still have power right?

"A bear sighting was initially reported about 10:30 p.m. west of highway 113 near the bicycle overpass. It was later seen on the main campus in the Segundo residence area."

Hi yall,

Davis Movie Club will be watching The Christophers tonight at 6pm at the Varsity 🎭

We will be meeting up at Froggy’s around 5 to mingle beforehand! I’ll be wearing a red sweater

I run the club, and try to pick a movie every other Friday to watch together, either at Varsity or Regal. If you’re interested in joining, please come by!

Looking for good hiking spots with nearby campsites. Open to easy to moderate hikes, nothing too intense. Would be great if there are campgrounds nearby or good spots for a weekend trip.

Hi, hi. I moved to Davis some months ago, and with the weather being so great, I'm looking for some tennis partner. I'm 30, played many years through school, but haven't really played regularly as an adult. Let me know!

Talking actual rye bread, Russian dressing, corned beef.

No pastrami, no 1000 island, no white sourdough.

*Kinda sounding like Tommy's/Froggy's is it unless someone has something better. They hit all my notes and they get their bread from the Village Bakery
