What are the differences in viewing the ships coming in between these two parks? In the future, I will be visiting Stockton and watching the ships come in. I’m not familiar with the area and best vantage points so I was wondering what the viewing experience, accessibility, proximity to the ship, aesthetic background, etc. is like for each of these locations or for other good vantage points I may have missed.

It’s worth sitting with how Stockton’s elected leaders are actually responding to “Governance in Turmoil,” because the reactions tell their own story.

Mayor Fugazi’s tone here is notably different from a year ago. In August 2025, she said she didn’t “completely trust” the grand jury. This time, she said she takes the findings seriously and used the moment to directly call out Vice Mayor Jason Lee, saying he has a responsibility to help govern the city and “not attack staff, destabilize meetings,” or “take advantage of loopholes for personal gain.”

Lee, for his part, said the report confirms what residents, city employees, and community leaders have been raising for over a year, and that Stockton’s challenges were “never simply about personality conflicts or politics” but symptoms of deeper failures in leadership, governance, transparency, and accountability. He also pushed back on the idea that elected officials speaking directly to constituents is itself the problem, invoking First Amendment protections.

Councilmember Michael Blower took a different angle. He agreed that the dysfunction is real, but objected to a report that paints the whole Council with the same brush. He said plainly that it’s “not all of us. Just some of us that need to work on some of these issues." Four other councilmembers didn’t respond to Stocktonia’s request for comment at all.

My take: a report like this only does its job if it leads to structural change, not a round of finger-pointing dressed up as accountability. Naming who’s “more responsible” is a less useful exercise than asking what guardrails were missing that let this go on for over a year. That’s the case for an independent ethics commission, real contribution limits, and clear rules for how officials communicate publicly. It is not a referendum on any one person, but the kind of structure that makes this dysfunction harder to repeat regardless of who’s on the dais.”

Hello,

I was born and raised in Stockton, and I remember hearing many creepy stories and urban legends. I no longer live there, but I recently read an article about a serial killer being caught where I live now after 30 years. The killer had become something of an urban legend, and reading the article made me think back to Stockton and all of the creepy stories and legends I grew up listening to.

I'm sure we all know the story about the Flamingo Club story. The infamous "devil visited that club in the late 90s" story. Probably the most well known creepy story in Stockton's history. Luckily that place is done now. I've only been there once while I was in high school and got a really weird and creepy vibe in that place.

I remember seeing a post on this sub Reddit years ago where someone said they had heard there was an underground tunnel system beneath Delta College. As an alumni of Delta College, I can confirm that is true. When I was a student at Delta, I worked at the Delta Flea Market on most weekends. Our job was to make sure the vendors had their permits and were set up in the correct spots for the market. Our "HQ/Office" was that small old police station building (idk if it's still there) on the corner of the parking lot facing Pacific Avenue, directly facing Ahipoki & Panera, directly across from Denny's and BWWs. Inside the building, there's a room with a door and latch built into the floor. When you opened it, it led down a staircase into the tunnels. It was super creepy. At one point, I went back to check out the tunnel entrance again, but it had been sealed off with plywood. I quit shortly after that. (I will also attach photos I took from inside the building and the stairway that led down to the tunnels. Not the best photos but something to show). There are also a lot of creepy stories about Delta College. The school was built on the site of an old mental hospital from the 1930s and 1940s. In that same station where we worked out of, a custodian who had been there for years told us that a Delta College police officer had taken his own life in that very building and that his spirit haunts that building.

Another creepy story I heard came from a family friend who worked for a large nonprofit organization in Stockton. I won't name the organization, but just know that it's well-known and has been around in the U.S. for over 100 years. The previous CEO/President of the nonprofit was a fourth- or fifth-generation Stocktonian, meaning their family had been in Stockton since it was incorporated as a city in the 1850s. If I remember correctly, the family came from wealth and worked closely with the Weber, Spanos, Holt, Swain, and March families. I think a lot of Stockton locals don't realize that these families (yes, the streets named after them) were major players in building and funding Stockton's development from the 1850s to the 1980s. The former CEO also came from a long line of medical professionals in the Stockton area (which becomes important later). The creepy part of the story is that my family friend once visited the CEO's home with potential donors. When they arrived, there was an old leather-covered book sitting on the coffee table. Curious, my family friend opened it while the CEO and the donors stepped away to discuss funding and other business. What he saw has stuck with him ever since. According to him, the leather-cover book was a master collection of records documenting people who had been lobotomized from the 1930s through the 1960s at the mental hospitals where Delta College is today and the CSU Stanislaus Stockton Satellite campus. He said the book had patients' photographs taken before and after their lobotomies, along with their height, age, and the reasons they had been admitted to the mental hospitals. He immediately closed the book and acted as if he had never touched it, thinking that the CEO might notice something was out of place. Later, my family friend learned that the CEO's family had a long lineage of doctors who had worked closely with the Stockton families mentioned earlier. According to what he was told, they helped build and fund the area's mental hospitals, where they practiced medicine during the early years of lobotomies in the U.S. Whether every detail is true or not, it's one of the craziest and creepiest stories I've ever heard come out of Stockton. My family friend also ended up leaving that job not long afterward.

Sorry for the long post. Thought I would share my creepy stories and urban legends from Stockton. But I want to hear from you guys. Whats the creepiest Urban legends or stories that you've heard from Stockton. Been on a scary story bend lately.

I am originally from Stockton. So I know all the good and bad neighborhoods for the most part. However, me and my young family of four are looking for a place to live. We are currently looking for at apartments. Does anyone have any recommendations where we should check out?
All the help will be grateful!

Country club/monte diablo area. Super lengthy noises that woke me up just now. Doesn't sound like usual fireworks. Almost like artillery then I heard a helicopter for a second then nothing. You don't usually hear fireworks a far away as that sounded. Struck me as odd.

i hit a deer recently:( and it did a decent bit of damage to the front of my car and i dont know any good places to take it. any recommendations?
