r/Temecula

I know, I know, just by the title I can already picture the eye rolling and sighing, just hear me out alright? I moved to Murrieta 2019 going into 2020 from Orange County. Now I had no family up here at the time and I went to high school here knowing no one, complete fresh start. Now as we all know 2020 is when COVID hit. That made the rest of the school year (my sophomore year) completely online. And my Junior year was completely online as well. THEN FINALLY my senior year it was back in regular school. Now technically I have been going to school here for 3 years and yet I AM STILL THE NEW KID. So I know nobody still, didn't really have a chance. I say this because I have no friends out here still lmao. I am now 22 and all I do is work and play video games and read. I also go on some cruises in my car. BUT this area is full of bars and wineries and I DON'T DRINK or smoke or party. It's just not my thing. I won't lie I don't really mind it as I am a homebody right, but damn man sometimes I just get the urge to do something. I barely explored this area because at least to me there really isn't much for me to do around here. Like I sometimes get the urge to do something BUT LIKE WHAT DO I DO??? The other thing I pretty much do around here is every once in a while I'll hit up Round 1 thinking "I mean I like video games and arcades maybe I can meet SOMEONE here" and guess what? WRONG! Trying to make friends as an adult is really weird. I will say I do find the sky interesting. More specifically UFOs/UAPs and I know what a weirdo right? But hell maybe some of you guys know of good spots to see cool/weird stuff in the sky. Now whether it is little green men, grey aliens in flying plates, satellites you can actually see or optical illusions whatever it's all game for me, would be neat, just no dirt roads because I drive a small rear wheel drive sports cars so those roads are no nos. I DON'T KNOW MAN, just SOMETHING ya know? I'm a friggen nerd man! Like my co-workers when I first started to work around here, for like a solid year would ask me "Logan what did you do this weekend" and it was always the same answer "I played games and read" I DID NOTHING (well nothing interesting anyways) they don't even ask me anymore, which is fine by me because I can only say the same thing so many times. I grew up poor man, I never traveled any where or been any where or even done anything interesting. I never been to the beach, never left state, never seen real snow, never been hiking, never been camping, etc. I mean shit, the farthest I've ever traveled was 60 miles and that is when I moved out here from OC. But by not doing any of that stuff as a kid it sort of killed that interest for me. I don't know what I am going to do by myself out here anyways. It feels to me that there really isn't much for me here, but I can say I am at least trying to find something for me. Damn this is ranty and long as hell lmao, hopefully this will be a weird and interesting post for you guys.

We live in Murrieta and going overseas in beginning of July. Is there any budget friendly way to get to LAX? We are 3 people 3 big suitcases and 3 small carry ons.

Hello moved here from OC and I have no friends, no family, no kids, nothing. I'm looking forward to making friends although Im shy at first and very reserved I am very easy going woman at first then when we get comfortable I might go in with dark humor but that only if we are the right group.

Are there places where people just gather to make friends around here?

Kind of a Lennon-y space rock song. Kellii took it to another planet, naturally.

The Temecula Valley High School water polo players cheered in speedos for the baseball team. Some conservatives went nuts.

I’m a teacher in a different district. Looking to move to TVUSD but I’m not seeing a lot on EdJoin. Anyone work in the district that knows if their positions have already been posted for next year? I think I missed peak hiring season.

It's probably been a over a year since they announced that they were opening but they are still not open. I messaged their Instagram account a few months ago and they said they'd be open any day.

I'm afraid they are just going to abandon the effort... I live close by so I was excited to have that place near my house.

By chance did anyone get ice cream from the ice cream truck that was driving around Vintage Hills tonight? I waived him down with my toddler and he drove right by us with no intention to stop. His music was on so I found it strange that he didn't bother to stop or at least swing back around.

I know this might come off as overly paranoid but I'm a new parent and the world can be a scary place. I got a weird vibe so just seeing if anyone else had any type of engagement with him.

Has anyone had gallbladder surgery and had a good experience with a local clinic/surgeon in Riverside County? I need to have my gallbladder removed and the place my doc referred me to doesn't answer their phones and have awful reviews.

What about repairs? Do you just go to a dealership?

Anyone know any places that do adult ADHD testing anywhere between north county and riverside? Every time I try to google ADHD testing near me, psychologists come up who unfortunately don’t do it. TIA ☺️

Hi there. We’re having a hard time getting our tax return from the federal government… any other tribal members living off the reservation having a problem with this? California gave us our return in less than a week, but the federal government has been withholding it for over 3 months. Sent a letter asking to prove the withholding and we did so to the dollar amount but they’re acting like we never responded. We filed our taxes in February. This has never happened to our family before. We don’t even know how we would even begin to live on the reservation in the first place!
(Edit: lots of shares on insight, but hardly any informative comments!)

Looking for recommendations on a good and fair mechanic. I just moved down with the family to the area and in need of a new mechanic. I have a 2021 Ford Explorer that is at nearly 174,000 miles. I just got the oil done today at Valvoline and they informed me that I have an oil leak. There was oil on the engine and oil pan. I also need the radiator drained and refilled. Brakes are due up as well. I appreciate any and all help and guidance.

When are the good social hour days to go to our classy dive bar? Or what days get busy? Will tonight be a busy day to go?

last week my ac stopped cooling during the heat wave and i called a local company close to my house but they came fixed something and it broke again the next day with warm air blowing and strange noises.

tomorrow the guys from we care will come and i hope everything will be better this time but in case it isnt what exact questions should i ask the tech and what should i check on my unit before they arrive to make sure they dont miss anything.

Hi everyone! I usually donate everything, but I’ve been doing a lot of spring cleaning lately and realized I have quite a few items that are brand new with tags or are more expensive pieces (Abercrombie, lululemon) that just don’t fit me anymore. Does anyone have recommendations for places to sell besides Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp? Have you had good luck with any local places?

This article has everything. reckless Tesla drivers, Wine trolleys, and a Rivian for good measure.

Never change, Temecula. I love you.

I could not get a picture and I did try to double back to either try to scoop them up or get a picture but there was probably about a 30 pound dark possibly black colored dog with ears that stick up and a larger probably 45 or 50 pound dog that looked to be brindle with ears that also stick up right by the hospital running loose. I doubled back a couple times saw a lady that lived on de Portola asked them if they were her dog and she said she believes one of them may have been hit. I hope if you are looking for your dogs that you see this.

After the first time, I saw the two dogs, I could not get a visual on them again. If these are your dogs, sorry I really did try to find them.

Been seeing a lot of "this place went downhill" threads lately and figured I'd flip it.

Curious which Temecula or Murrieta spots have genuinely improved over the past year. Could be a restaurant that turned things around, a shop with a new owner, a service business that finally got their act together, anything.

I'll start: the breakfast place on Jefferson near the 15 (forgetting the name, the one with the patio) feels noticeably more dialed in than it did last summer. Faster service, food actually comes out hot.

Who's surprised you lately?
