Any birders here?

Yep. I watched the extreme birding documentary on YouTube. I already love the outdoors and birds so why not try birding too? So Merlin isn’t really doing great for me unless the picture of the bird is optimal clarity and lighting. I don’t know if you know this about birds but they don’t really stay still. So apparently over in birding they say a field guide for your area is best. So that’s my next mission. Anyways good spots? Best time of day? I downloaded Ebird but don’t really know how to use it other then the map.

Grithaus Temecula!

Hey everyone,

My name is Adrian. I’m a firefighter, Temecula resident, and for the past 3+ years I’ve been leading wellness retreats for firefighters in Joshua Tree focused on recovery, stress management, connection, and overall well-being. Those retreats have been incredibly rewarding and have positively impacted a lot of lives, but they were always intended to be a stepping stone toward a larger vision: creating a permanent flagship facility that could serve the community year-round.

Through those experiences, I’ve noticed something that seems to affect almost everyone—not just first responders. Many people are stressed, burnt out, disconnected, and looking for ways to improve their health and quality of life.

The problem is that most places only solve one piece of the puzzle.

You go to a gym to work out.

A coffee shop to socialize.

A spa to relax.

A recovery studio to recover.

But there isn’t really one place that brings all of those things together.

That’s what inspired me to create a concept called GRITHAUS.

The vision is a modern wellness, recovery, and social hub where people can improve their physical health, mental well-being, recovery, productivity, and connection with others—all under one roof.

The concept would include:

• Private wellness suites featuring sauna, cold plunge, breathwork, and recovery experiences

• Coffee and juice bar

• Personal training

• Massage therapy

• Barber services

• Community events, workshops, and guest speakers

• Comfortable spaces to work, meet, study, or simply recharge

I’m currently in the planning and fundraising stage, and before moving forward I’d genuinely love to hear feedback from the community.

A few questions:

• Is this something you would personally use?

• What would make you excited to become a member?

• What amenities or services would you want to see included?

• What do you think Temecula is currently missing when it comes to health, wellness, recovery, or community?

We are already at over 200+ people on the waitlist. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’ve created a free early-interest waitlist. Joining the waitlist would GREATLY help gauge demand, so if you’re interested, please visit the website below:

Grithaus Waitlist

No memberships are being sold and there’s absolutely no obligation. I’m simply trying to gauge local interest and determine whether this is something our community would find valuable.

I appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas.

Thank you,

Adrian

Serpea Tetra seeking school

Does anyone have a school of serpea tetras in the area. I got a tank setup second hand and learned the goldfish has a lone tetra as a tank mate. Currently the goldfish bullies the tetra away from food. I don’t want to get him a school because then they will start fin nipping at the goldfish or if I move to my other tank my betta. I’m trying to find a school for him to join

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Temecula fireworks?

We just want to watch the fireworks, not hang out all day. Which is less stressful, Ronald Reagan or Pechanga? How bad is parking? Recommendations for other places to watch from?

Thanks.

Kid lost phone

Was at Temecula Duck Pond yesterday 7/3 and our kid uses a phone as a tablet (no cellular service or data) to take pictures. We believe she may have sat down near the "Tori Gate" or "Library box" and may have left her phone on a bench or rock.

Since there's no cellular or data, we really have no way of tracking the thing. I've already counted it as a goner but was wondering if there are some suggestions on places to call or check-in just for her sake since she's kept some memories on the phone.

What’s the most “just two guys and a crazy idea” ass restaurants in Buffalo?

You know the vibe. Tasteless “industrial chic” interior, overpriced food, sterile, and usually filled with poser types and boomers who are coming out for their once a month restaurant into the town/city. Might not even use plates for their food. Doesn’t have to necessarily be burgers as i see this kinda vibe spill over into many types of establishments.

Looking for a dermatologist

I’m looking for a dermatologist, preferably in South Temecula, who isn’t going to tell me I can’t wear makeup. I’ve never been before and I have some stuff going on with my face.

Dog Help

Hi everyone,
I am heartbreakingly forced to rehome Venus, my 47lb spayed Pit/Lab mix. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and high-energy, but she has special medical needs I can no longer manage alone.

The Urgency: She has epilepsy and needs meds every 12 hours. Working two jobs alone, I am missing doses, causing her to seize.

The Risk: Local shelters have warned me she faces euthanasia risk due to her condition.

Details: Rescued in 2024. Fully healed from a past chemical/tar burn scar. Super loving with people. Have all paperwork.
She desperately needs an adopter or rescue who can commit to a strict twice-a-day medication schedule. Please message me directly if you can help.

Local farms for eggs,meat, veggies, fruit etc?

Is there any local farms I can buy produce and groceries from? I want to stop buying from big name stores, or at least minimize.
I’ve definitely seen farms passing by certain areas in Temecula and murrieta. But never seen anything that says they’re selling.
Is the only way to get stuff from farmers markets?
If so, they never seem to have meat.

Gun Range for Groups Nearby/Temecula Activities for Groups

Hi! I'm planning a bachelorette/Bachelor weekend (Aug 21-23) for my cousin in Temecula so I'm looking for a range that will be good with groups of mostly beginners. Rainbow seems to be members only- we have vehicles to drive a bit but I'd like to keep it around 30-40 minute drive? We're staying in Winchester.

If there is no gun range that suits our needs, what are your favorite large group things to do out there? So far we have a game night on Friday at the air bnb, Saturday is our night out starting at the meadery, and I was trying to make Sunday the fun activity day. Archery? Lake day? What do you like to do with your pals?

Group consists of mid 30something year olds, men and women, chill, beer and cocktail and smash burger-eating type. The couple likes live music, campfires, rivers, and being silly goofy people. Most of them are driving from the LA area.

Sunrise from a hot air balloon is officially the only thing that makes a 4 AM alarm clock worth it. Watching the valley wake up from above is pure magic. Would you trade your sleep for this view?
