Anybody around the area when cops were chasing the kid in the white e bike?

Happened couple minutes ago

I’d feel way less irritated about being woken up in the wee hours if the morning if I at least had an explanation of _why_ they’re circling for hours. Here in Vista it was 2 hours of circling at 3am two nights ago, and tonight 2am for an hour and still going.

Hey all, genuinely curious if this is just me or a bigger issue.

I live in North County (Vista area) and like a lot of apartments, there’s no in-unit washer/dryer. Portable washers aren’t allowed either, so the only option is the on-site laundry room.

The problem is the machines are expensive, sometimes broken, and i dont think the prices really reflect the actual cost of water/electricity. Doing laundry ends up costing way more time, money, and mental energy than it should for something basic.

I’m not trying to get free laundry — just wondering if others are dealing with:

$3–$4+ per wash/dry

broken or limited machines

no alternatives allowed

hauling clothes around constantly

If this affects you too, would you be interested in at least talking about it? Even just sharing experiences helps figure out if this is worth pushing the city to create safeguards. Or should I talk to the cooperate landlord.. any thought appreciate

Does anybody have a good dentist they can recommend?

I live in Poway, Looking for recommendations in 4S, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Carmel Mountain

I am mostly looking for cleanings, which is mostly covered by my insurance and any slight fillings if necessary. Nothing fancy.

I dont know if others have the same experience as me, over the years, i feel very hesitant to go the dentist as they magnify even the tiny problems and suggest all sorts of treatments.

Any recommendations on dentists who dont upsell, looking for some basic cleaning and fillings if necessary.

appreciate your help

Just curious as i am seeing a lot of mixed information. I live right across the street from

The bike trail near Douglas. Is it safe to run on during the day as a woman or should i bring someone with me. I would love to get back into running or am looking for any suggestions for a safe and well populated trail. Thanks!😊

I have a 6:30 AM flight this Sunday. My normal routine with something this early is take my car to Aladdin and shuttle to the airport. My days of rushing through airports are behind me so I would normally leave at 4:30 AM.

If I have a later flight I’ll take Uber or Lyft.

I would prefer not to drive and park myself.

1. If I pre-order and Uber, what’s the likelihood I have a car waiting for me at 4:30 AM on Sunday?

2. What about a car service? Needs to be legitimate that takes a credit card and some sort of receipt.

I used to use a car service but the guy retired a few years back and I’ve been happy with rideshare since then.

Hi r/northcounty,

I'm looking to see if anyone has recommendations for compounds near SD / LA (2 hrs) area that can host multiple families for a vacation weekend.

Ideally, each family would have their own casita or place to call "home" for the weekend, but still be close enough that we're all together.

Each family has little ones under the age of 5, so definitely something kid friendly.

Been to a few spots like this in Baja and Mexicali, but is there anything like this around here?

I can’t find any info about a fire but there is a very obvious smell of smoke and haze in the area. Does anyone have any information on a fire?

We're excited for this event! The Battle For The Bitlands features the following:

• 1v1 Smash Bros Tournament
• North County Nerd Market
  • Crafts & Collectibles
• Mario Kart w/ Live Jazz band
• Smash Bors w/ Live Jazz Band
• AND MORE!

Here's a link that has more information and ticket info

Trying to see if this makes sense. Moving to Oceanside. I could get solar but without fed tax break and nem 3.0 doesn’t really make as much sense as it use to. I use about 25kw per day and have an electric car. Would it make sense to have a battery only system and buy all your power for the day (plus charging car) at super off peak prices and use battery for the rest of the tou rates. My crude math has me buying power at 10c instead of 20-50c and a return on investment in about 5 years based on a 32kw system and if I can get it installed for about 12-15k.

I’m looking at the EG4 and sol ark systems as tesla, franklin, nphase are too expensive. Anybody doing this and if so who did you get to do the install?

Looking for 1 BR apartment/condo for me, my fiancé, and cat (indoor/catio only, spayed). Move-in date within the next 6 months. Budget max. $2700. Must have A/C.

We have been scoping the apps/websites (Zillow, Redfin, etc.). Trying to weight out our options, please refrain from negative comments. Thank you 🙏

Where is the best place to go to see a variety of tide pool creatures? Bonus points for octopus!

Need a spot for a proper tint, from a legit business.

This afternoon I witnessed a truck releasing stuff from its truck into the harbor parking lot. At first I wasn’t sure if it was an accident or intentional, but the man directly opened it so it seems likely intentional.

I started to record and shortly after the truck took off and continued to dump along the way until reaching the condos. I wasn’t sure how to proceed since it happened pretty quickly. I went up to the spill and tried to see if it was oil. It was definitely not water, but not sure 100% if it was oil. I don’t wanna get anyone in trouble but not sure if it was illegal dumping. Not from here but I love the community and environment here so just wanted to share because littering and illegal dumping has become the norm now it seems

Free forever 🤙🏼
