r/Stockton

So the cops that patrol UOP are an interesting situation. Obviously UOP is private property being a private University. However the campus police are Stockton police officers, and they patrol the campus and surrounding areas.

Can anyone talk about this situation more in depth? Is this a unique situation where a private organization has actual city sworn police officers as their hired security? They can still cite and arrest folks off campus for example if someone on Pacific or Pershing is breaking the law.

Since its private property do thinks like open containers, drunk in public, noise ordinances not apply like they normally would?

Hey everyone,

As the title says, I’m currently in search of an eye exam office or doctor who will take the above mentioned insurance plan. I’m willing to go anywhere in Stockton, or even Lodi.

I checked the HPSJ (Health Plan of San Joaquin, for anyone wondering) website & made calls to their listed providers, but every single office has said they no longer take my insurance.

So unfortunately everything HPSJ is telling me is out of date :(

I've been trying to organize a large block party in Downtown Stockton for years. I frequently go to Sacramento and San Jose, and they regularly close streets down and have concerts for people to attend where they can buy food and drinks and walk around and listen to Diplo, Chris Lake, Noizu, Dom Dolla, Sunbrn, Shiba San, Dombresky, Dillon Francis, etc. These are always positive events, they bring visitors to the city, they bring revenue to the city, and I have always wanted to do this at home. After having several meetings with the city of Stockton, Visit Stockton, and Downtown Stockton Alliance, it has become very clear that no one in Stockton that has the means to make this happen has any desire to make this happen. So we, the people, have to continue to go out of town and spend our dollars, gas money, plane ticket money, and hotel money in other cities.

I've decided to take the first step and start very small to show a proof of concept. We are not going to close any streets or bring any big name DJs because you can't just flip a switch and expect the people of Stockton to suddenly be the people of Sacramento or San Diego who are accustomed to going to events like this on a regular basis. We have to the check the temperature of the culture of our city and see if there is even a market for this type of event because it comes with a significant investment.

On Saturday, August 29th, from 5pm to 10pm, we will be bringing 3 local DJs, CRJ, AYEJAY, and GOOD AF to do a free EDM concert at DeCarli Plaza in Downtown Stockton. No tickets, no charge, just free music in the park. The plaza is open to the public and has benches and grass areas for people to come and have a picnic and enjoy the music. But the Plaza is also large enough with plenty of open space for a couple hundred people to gather in front of the stage and dance in the plaza.

We will be providing all of the sound. We invite any and everyone that is into house music, trap, bass, or dubstep, to come out, bring some friends, bring some snacks and refreshments and vibe out with us. Our goal is to create a culture that we can build upon and grow into incrementally larger events that will culminate in a street closure block party in front of the new court house with a lineup of big name DJs, food and drink vendors, port-o-potties, and everything you would get in a major market city.

This is one small step for Stockton, and hopefully we can turn it into a giant leap! We'll see you Saturday, August 29th! Into The Sunset

So I just had someone say they were from pg&e wanting to talk about the bill and that we have a credit. Is this honest or…?

Looking for a gym partner

I went to visit Stockton for the comicon one year and was able to meet Nate but that was at a meet and great. Super nice and humble. I don't know if they still live in Stockton or if you see them around regularly. I think they might have a training facility they might run. They definitely seem like guys that stick to their roots and haven't left for a better lavish lifestyle somewhere else.

Hey all! My family is looking to adopt one of the puppies available at the shelter, but the Stockton animal shelter website does not have any information of fees. Has anyone adopted recently? If so, much were the fees?

I seem to have pinched a nerve. Last time that happened a single visit to a chiropractor miraculously cured it. Hoping for the same good luck this time - but now I live in Stockton. Anybody have a chiropractor they recommend? Lodi would be OK too. I'd like somebody who actually cares about patients - as opposed to one of the ones who is intent on growing their business and hands you off to an employee and you never see again. If there is nobody around I may end up doing the 6 hour drive to get to my old chiropractor.

PS. No need to tell me not to see a chiropractor. I've seen chiropractors for many years and read plenty of medical research papers done worldwide about the benefits of chiropractic. Candidly, I don't care about individual stories of a bad experience with one. People have bad experiences with medical doctors too (death!) and that doesn't mean that a good one can't provide a benefit. I'm asking this question because I want to see a chiropractor.

Hi everyone. I’m trying to help address an ongoing community-cat situation in my neighborhood through humane trapping and spay/neuter.
I am currently bottle-feeding nine young kittens that were found around the neighborhood after their mother did not return for them. Caring for them has made it clear how urgently our neighborhood needs help preventing more unwanted litters.
There are approximately 12 adult outdoor/feral cats in the area that continue to have kittens. I contacted local shelter resources, but I was placed on a waitlist even to receive one cat trap. With only one trap, it may take a long time to safely trap and get all the cats fixed.

My goal is to humanely reduce the number of cats reproducing outdoors, prevent more kittens from being abandoned, and make life better for both the cats and our neighborhood.

Thank you for reading and for caring about these cats.

The new Walmart layout is over stimulating and unconventional as hell is this the final look ?!

I've only been to downtown so I can't speak of anywhere else but it just seemed really run down and you can feel the economy is crap.

I grew up around Oakland but I don't know if Stockton is a lot different or not. The unfamiliarity with Stockton definitely plays a role with me feeling uncomfortable.

In downtown Oakland there's some shady looking people but most people are just trying to survive. I've never seen any violence or much crime despite Oakland getting a bad rap. I'm aware but I usually don't feel scared in Oakland. I don't know if Stockton is the same or a different vibe.

I’m considering a job in Stockton but we have no idea what it’s like there. We are a gay married couple, no kids. So an accepting neighborhood is a must. We do want to downsize our home. Currently in 2500 square foot home, 1/2 the size would be nice but not a must. The other half is stay at home dog dad. We aren’t party guys.

What neighborhoods should we avoid? What neighborhoods should we consider?

This is an appreciation post. I'm not sure if she's still alive but she was/is my favorite teacher. My class was her very first class as a new teacher. We wrote the Pulliam Pandas song as a class and we were the first group to sing it. Fun times writing it and practicing every day. A lot of great memories in her class and I'll never forget the way she said Plas-steek when she read us "Indian in the Cupboard"

Blatt was charged with murder, but ultimately walked free. How?
