has anybody noticed the increase in amount of butterflies around the mountain view los altos area in the past few days i have been seeing tons of them flying around whenever i go out.
My sister was riding her scooter to work this morning when she was hit by a driver in a silver 4-door car.
This happened around 8:50 AM on 05/20/26 near Thaddeus Park, close to Middlefield Ave and Victoria Ave.
She reports the driver as a white male, around 5'8", with what appeared to be white hair. He got out of the car, apologized, and then left the scene without exchanging any information.
If anyone in the area saw anything or has dashcam/Ring footage, it would be incredibly helpful. Any information at all is appreciated.
Thank you so much!
Looking forward to every nearby business eventually being a Roger's lol 👍 🍩
anyone up for hitting around cuesta park?

We have the chance to influence school board policy at the local level. The more Bay Area districts that take a hard look at screen use in elementary schools, the more it will spread locally. If you're in Sunnyvale, Mountain View, or Los Altos, please join us as there are relevant upcoming board meeting topics and getting organized gives us the best chance at having our voice heard.

Stopped in today and spoke with the owner.
I have had needs for durable medical equipment and other stop-gap medical private pay stuff over the years as a result of supporting family members on Medicare where the coverage doesn't go as far as it ideally would.
The owners are knowledgeable (one is a nurse), caring, and sound like they are ready to meet the community's needs with thoughtful well-sourced solutions to fill the gaps that insurance can't.
Everyone I spoke with was super kind. The nurse owner has run a similar business in Hawaii for 3 decades, but decided to open one here after her daughter (who I met and was lovely) graduated from Santa Clara University.
Today I witnessed someone at a red light get out of his car to help someone struggling to get across a very busy El Camino intersection in their wheelchair. The person crossing was having a hard time hand-driving their wheelchair because the crosswalk is uphill.
This man got out of his car and after asking (I did see him say something to the person so I'm making this assumption), helped the person across the crosswalk to the point where they could continue on their own, got back in his car, and made it in time for the green light.
I would like to think that that act of kindness and humanity touched all of us behind him at that intersection today.
I hope that kind man will have the best year. I hope his water is always the right temperature. I hope he will always find all the little things easy in his day to day.
Hey everyone, I've been working on this map of all public transportation in the bay and finished adding data and just started working on adding more features. Right now when you highlight a route/stop, the info box will show you all the information, including a link to exact the route schedule (and sometimes also a URL for the stop). Here are the list of official agency pages for the Oakland area if you want general info:
Not in Oakland, but if you going nearby:
And if you want to go farther away:
Since I'm adding more features, what would make this map more useful for you?
They added construction fencing today and are even closing the parking lot in front of 24 hour fitness. I thought that Bullis declined to build a new school there, so does anyone know what it is going to be?
Looks like it will replace Johnny and Sanny's, which is strange as earlier it looked like Mian was going to move in here. Could not find any info on this Bloom & Vine place.
Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone to take over my lease at Sevens Apartments (775 W. Middlefield Rd, Mountain View). Life plans changed and I need to move out, so I'm sweetening the deal to make it worth your while.
The Deal:
The Apartment (2BR/2BA, B3 floor plan, 1,232 sqft, 3rd floor):
I genuinely love this unit. A few things that stood out to me:
Sevens Amenities (75,000+ sqft - it's kind of absurd):
Location:
A few more things:
Feel free to DM me with any questions - happy to give you a tour or hop on a call. Thanks for reading!
I have a shoulder mobility issue and while I enjoyed my first few new client classes at solidcore, it put a lot of strain on my shoulders and even the starter classes were too intense for me. My PT said to avoid it for now because it was too weight bearing, especially having to hold planks and move while in plank for so long.
I currently go to YogaSix and have an unlimited membership there and I like it because there’s a ton of modifications, and I can take breaks as needed if a certain pose doesn’t work for my body.
I’m looking to add pilates to my routine. Does anyone have recommendations near MV? I’ve tried Club Pilates and wasn’t a fan. Looking for something with nice and encouraging teachers, and a place with easy parking because I have parking anxiety LOL :’)
Where do you volunteer in Mountain View around other people?
I went to the Mountain View volunteering fair a couple of weeks ago and came away with the impression that Second Harvest is pretty much the only game in town.
I don't speak Spanish or Chinese and can't provide legal aid or coach youth sports. I don't have kids in local schools. Especially sad that I live around the corner from the CSA, but there isn't a way for me to contribute time to them outside weekday work hours.
Why wasn’t I informed of this turn of events?!
Cascal puts a table that is located directly in front of a fire alarm pull station and seats customers there. I’ve sat at the fire alarm table once and I’ve seen them seat other parties at the fire alarm table. Some babies and toddlers can easily accidentally pull the fire alarm when sitting at that table. It’s technically against the fire code to put tables, chairs, or otherwise obstruct access to the fire alarm pull station. The table is also located in front of a set of doors that I think has been deactivated from regular and emergency exit use. The table in question is along a set of doors/windows along California street with the fire alarm pull station next to the pair of deactivated doors. I don’t know how they are getting away with putting a table and chairs in front of the fire alarm pull station. I’m also surprised that most customers don’t seem to notice that they’re seated next to the fire alarm pull station with the fire alarm pull station right at eye level when seated.
What is happening downtown? There is a lot police cars blocking the street. Is it a protest?
During the afternoon of Saturday, May 16th, I drove by the Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Mountain View, and saw a man lying in the middle of the street. I watched him and saw him get up and start to stumble again. It seemed dangerous, so I parked my car and talked to him. He kept telling me he was fine but kept stumbling into traffic. He didn’t seem drunk. Perhaps dehydrated or having some other medical emergency. He said he would call his wife but kept trying to dial with the wrong side of his phone. I called 911 and waited for help to arrive.
Anyone have anymore details? I just wanted to see if he was ok.
