Took these photos yesterday just off Castro Street where word has it a new Tong Sui is opening. The interior would certainly match. I'm stoked as this is one of my favorite drink / dessert places and I always wished there was one in Mountain View. It should open quite soon apparently...

Spring tides eating into the Bay Trail, plus some "before / after" tide heights aka photos earlier this year versus today, tomorrows tide is going to be even bigger.

I'm doing some research before casting my vote and his website looks good, hits all the points that parents care about, etc. He looks normal....

Then I read MV Voice for more info. https://www.mv-voice.com/election/2026/10/16/quintin-riis-district-transparency-and-student-success/

And suddenly I remember downvoting him u/qmriis 2 years ago for calling people that support teacher housing libtards.

So yeah, look up his posts if you'd like. Calling people libtards, snowflakes, it goes on. I mean, it's fine if you're down with that. I'm not.

Looking for someone to take our lease starting 12/10, the earliest we could do is (maybe) 12/01. We are moving out of CA so breaking our lease.

It is a 3 bed 2 bath apartment for $4,390.00 with 1 covered parking spot and 1 uncovered one. Utilities are around $130 a month (internet, PG&E). It is close to Rengstorff Park on Escuela Ave. We like the apartment overall, not many amenities (there is a small gym and pool, that's it), but maintenance is good, and it is rent controlled.

Con: it is close to Caltrain tracks so it can get a little noisy, it has never been a problem for us, we have a baby and they sleep just fine.

Dm me if you are interested.

There are fewer Vote Centers in Santa Clara County for this election but the 11-day center in Mountain View is open on Linda Vista Ave near Terra Bella Ave.

Very quick experience. Vote early!

Hello, I'm in the market looking to rent a 2b2b in MV. Recently came across Domus which fell within our budget and we toured. While not extraordinary, it works best for us because of the proximity to work and the pricing.

I do however see that the Google reviews for it are pretty bad and mostly centered around maintenance and move out fees and process being cumbersome.

Would love to know if anyone lives there or know anyone who lives there and if there are any red flags we need to know about.

And secondly, are there any other better apartments in the area? With similar type of community with basic amenities, AC, In unit washer dryer.

This video showcases the display from the "Colors of Esperanza" show in Mountain View's City Hall Rotunda. The exhibit ends Monday 10/26 so I've attached a few photos of all the handmade items created by the community.

The peacock sculpture was created entirely from upcycled material.

Hi! I’m looking for a female roommate to take over the extra room in my 2 bed 1 bath rental house in Mountain View. Rent would be $1800 not including utilities. I have a dog so no other pets please.

Around 8:45am on 101s between moffet and Ellis

Gated Safeway on San Antonio Rd has altered its hours for the second time within a month. Earlier this month it was reduced from closing 1:00AM-5:00AM to closing 11:30PM-5:00AM. The hours have now been extended from closing 11:30PM-5:00AM to closing 12:00AM-5:00AM. As usual gated Safeway sucks cus of the alarm blaring and gates and fencing ruining the shopping experience. Please go to the Safeway on Shoreline Blvd for a store that follows their posted hours which is closing 2:00AM-5:00AM and they don't have alarmed security gates. I enjoy shopping there because its the nicer Safeway with no homeless people and no stupid alarms blaring in the store. I only shop at Safeway on Shoreline Blvd.

Hi, did anyone by any chance pick up a black Lululemon wallet lost in the Castro St / Dana St area this evening? Please contact if you happened to see it or picked it up. Thank you!

Update: The wallet has been found. Thank you to everyone who read and / or responded.

Anybody currently living in Sevens Apartments in MTV?

We had a great time touring but are vary of the negative reviews. Wondering if anybody currently living in the building can give some feedback regarding the following items:

1/ Leasing office was very nice on tour but apparently will drop the attitude once lease is signed?
2/ Shoddy construction in the building?
3/ Hidden fees which pop up after signing the lease?
4/ Noise. We're looking at a corner unit on a higher floor though and hoping this won't be as bad?

Thanks in advance🙏

With Superintendent Jeff Baier expected to return to retirement during the next board term, choosing the new superintendent will be the school board’s most consequential decision. Which candidates have sound judgment about people, board members who can recognize, recruit, onboard, and support strong leadership for the next phase of MVWSD?

The summary below is not an endorsement or attack on any candidate, but rather insights from following each closely throughout their involvement with MVWSD. - Chris Chiang

Devon Conley (incumbent board member)
-Strong relationships with other school boards, government agencies, and public officials.
-Deep knowledge of MVWSD policies and school operations as a former district teacher.
-Supports Measure T projects, including school fencing and outdoor learning spaces.
-Was a strong supporter of former Superintendent Ayindé Rudolph until 2024.

Bill Lambert (incumbent board member)
-Holds the most dissenting votes among current trustees, frequently challenging project costs and the board's involvement in internal and external politics.
-Opposes Measure T spending on school fencing and outdoor learning projects.
-Strong AI advocate who has questioned whether attendance boundaries and choice programs contribute to student segregation.
-Was part of MVWSD's past two superintendent search processes.

Quintin Riis (engineer)
-Only candidate explicitly advocating the return of gifted education.
-Outspoken, often caustic critic of district leadership and board decisions on social media.
-Opposes AI and many district construction and contracting decisions.
-Emphasizes the board's responsibility to critically scrutinize the superintendent and hold district leadership accountable, rather than seeing the board as a partner in district leadership.

Sundar Subbarayan (retired tech executive)
-Extensive leadership experience at Khan Academy, Microsoft, and eBay, bringing a long tech industry and data-driven approach.
-Generally takes moderate positions, including on educational technology.
-Prioritizes community input over district staff recommendations, notably opposing school fencing and favoring cautious spending.
-Largely non-political, not tied to local government, nor critical of MVWSD on social media.

The Chakraman strikes again! The long term impact will be incalculable. And Devon Conley was there! Vote her out!!

Are there any places in the area where I can play table tennis? I took a class at SJSU and really enjoyed it. I also found out I’m pretty good at it. Any recommendations are welcome!

I have a few boxes of clothes that I'm wanting to clean out.
They are a mix of everything from (a few) thing new with tags and never worn, but mostly used things like casual jeans, business casual shirts, and some athletic clothes like golf shorts and shirts.

I could drop them off at Goodwill. But, my impression from what I've read is that most of that stuff ends up in the textile mill (churned up and becomes rags or other cloth). That is much better than going into a landfill, but I'm wondering what better options exist that benefit people directly.

I see the bins around parking lots for accepting shoes and clothes. The ones I've checked had statements about being for-profit businesses that are accepting your clothes. I would go with goodwill before these.

Any other options? Churches that supply people in need, or similar?
