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.

Was the Sonoma County Fair worth the price? As attendance slips, organizers look to 2027

Paid attendance at this year’s Sonoma County Fair was down 7%, but fair operators say they’re optimistic that interest will rebound next year when the fair will once again be held in July, avoiding an overlap with other fairs and the start of the school year.

Out of the Grey

Dull morning, dreary me,
late for work again, 9:22 AM.
Driving lights are on, but I am not.
The salty seaweed air mixes with the smell of a distant, unhappy skunk.

And I see you in the back of a convertible 90s Cadillac,
converted into a dusky red chariot,
driven out of the grey.

Your fingers twirling in the mist,
eyes fixed on the silver sky.
And your red lips smile as if to say, “Life is but a dream,”
and for a minute you reached into my world and made it so.

Anyone's AT&T home internet been flaky this morning?

We seemed to have experienced some intermittent outages with our AT&T fiber this morning in SE Santa Rosa. Not sure what the cause was, but it was still flaky even after rebooting my AT&T gateway and other networking equipment. Even my wired devices were complaining.

Best Breweries

Doing a quick bachelor trip for a buddy. We are brewery hopping in the SR area then hanging at Graton in the evening. What are your recommendations for breweries to visit? Probably trying to hit 4 or so.

My top 2 were hen house and Russian River. What else do you have for me?

Can anyone help me identify the dates of these old pictures of the old court houses?

These pictures are in my office. They are of old Sonoma county court houses. AI is telling me the first one was taken in the 1880s but no exact date. That one was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. I am getting wildly different answers from AI on the second. It appears to be in the 30s or 40s but I don’t really know. Any help would be appreciated!

The Foppoli Fallout

There needs to be more scrutiny of all of Foppoli's friends that turned a blind eye to what was happening. His 20-30 club joking about and by doing so, encouraging his behavior allowed this monster to continue. The PD refusing to report on the case until the Chronicle made their story- shady. The coverups and refusal to take any responsibility is disgusting. I hope the victims end up with a great settlement for the pain that entitled r8pist has caused.
