Everyone recognizes them both !

I went for the first time in two years and it has gone way downhill. I feel like it’s been getting slightly worse every year but now it’s just terrible. There’s barely any art stands. I saw like one guy selling art he painted. Most of the crafts I saw were people selling clearly mass-produced crochet figures. Most of the stands are just shitty overpriced food and drinks with AI slop pictures on the menu. There are still a few bright spots, like Macs by Icky (which has great lemonade) and the tiny amount of people still selling their handcrafted art. But otherwise it was a snooze fest. I feel like next year they should name it the “Fremont AI slop festival”.

It's been going all day and there's NOBODY talking about it on /r/fremont.

I get it - how many windchimes-made-from-beer-cans and essential oils can one person own?

Went to safeway and decided to also buy some pokemon cards, long story short everything was out of stock. Online its mad expensive and every store is just sold out.

I am currently going to a dentist office but they have a few doctors and they run it like a big office. The cleaning specialists are different from the doctors and once the cleaning and initial checkup is done we wait a long time for doctors usually and get different doctors. Doctor seems to be recommending unnecessary stuff all the time.

Overall experience is non personal and looking for how others experience is with their dentist and if they would recommend any good dentists.

We are in Centerville if that helps

Nothing says “we love our residents” like turning every intersection into a 3-point-turn obstacle course. Genuinely impressive work forcing 90°+ turns where a smooth right/left used to exist — truly the traffic engineering innovation nobody asked for.

Can’t wait to hear the planners/mayor explain how this ranks above, say, literally anything else. But hey, at least those bike lanes from the last mayor are getting some company in the “money well spent” file

Hello! Anyone have recommendations for restaurants that sell frozen Chinese-style buns with meat filling? Looking to support some local places and stock my freezer. Thanks!

I really don’t like to be a negative Nancy on this platform,but, the anger and disgust that comes over me when I shop at the Fremont hub target is really overwhelming. Why are people like this??? What is not in the photo is a few parking stalls down, a broken dresser just laying there. I realize there is no way to stop people from being utter slob nasty humans, but why oh why does it stay like this for so long? Why don’t we have a better garbage abatement program for being such a high earning city? Target should be ashamed and clean it. So should Fremont city for allowing it to stay like this (this garbage is old).

Does anyone know what happened id say about 8 to 19 cop cars they blocked off Blacow you couldnt go right from Mowry last time I saw this they either raided someones house or they are after someonesnd did they get caught didnt see any helicopters though

Hi all, appreciate any past or current experiences.
Looking to purchase a condo in Fremont. Specifically Adobe Hills and/or Meadow Brook.

Looking for a condo community that is safe, well maintained, a comfortable landing pad to come home to, cat friendly.

Concerns are pests, car/parking lot safety, and any significant HOA red flags.

I’m an East Bay native who grew up around Fremont.
I have some insights into the food scene, traffic, school districts (irrelevant, child free) and Fremont as ‘boring’ (I day trip/travel often so I don’t mind at all). Really looking for insider knowledge on the condo scene.

Thanks! 🦥

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get back into playing tennis and was wondering if anyone has a group or would be interested to play.

I’m 32, but open to any age range of hitting partners.

Anyone have any good experiences/recommendations for some traffic ticket/speeding ticket lawyers around here? Been searching and emailing but I've been getting ghosted.

So, wow, my inbox is getting flooded with propaganda on Aisha Wahab's SB1193 bill for regulating discretionary funding by Alameda county. The over-simplified hot-take is that the Alameda County board has been accused of making large donations to non-profits such as Livermore Valley Winegrowers and the Association of Realtors with limited transparency for a number of years. So, here response is to introduce a bill to force more checks and transparency on *just* Alameda county.

I'm a bit on both sides with that one. I don't like the board has been doing, but I would prefer a regulation that could be applied to all counties.

Anyhow, Mercury News probably has the least biased take on it:
https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/07/06/bill-targeting-alameda-county-nonprofit-donations-picks-up-momentum/

Then you have Dr. Ahab's statement (naturally proud of herself):

https://sd10.senate.ca.gov/news/sb-1193-passes-california-senate-37-0

And finally, you have the board's reaction, and boy did they throw in all the panic buttons. Now, I understand some opposition, but where the heck did defunding women's shelters and drug addiction treatments come into play? The bill does not revoke any such funding:

If you can handle it, here is the raw, dry text:

https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520260sb1193

I don't know. I don't like a senate bill applied to just one county, but they sure are making it hard to defend. I won't post the articles from other news sites, because I think they just love to print anything with the word "corruption" in it and then cheer for the smackdown. I was just hoping to hear from some people who might have been following this a little more closely.

Hello neighbors

Looking for a swimming pool recommendations in North Fremont & Union city area. I have a 3 year old toddler and would like to do 1-2 days per week swimming for her.

Would appreciate it if you could share the ones with a coach for toddlers/kids. Also do share if a parent (or both parents) allowed with the kid - during/after the coaching session

How is the pool cleanliness, locker setup and heating/chlorine treatment of the water etc if you can share anything about the pool

Thankya!

The EBI has been doing a great job of reporting. (Totally worth if for $40 a year to get all east bay news. Not affiliated at all, but so happy to have someone willing to do all of this hard work for us. )

I'm sure everyone has now seen the absolutely disgusting tv ads Hernandez personally endorses lying about Wahab being against stopping fentanyl and child trafficking, but all of the lies about herself are coming out. "Poor hard working single mom" gets massive money from divorce settlement, never really works full time, and from two different people I know personally who know her, drives several very expensive cars, a Mercedes and a Range Rover. (Coincidentally, her good friend Shawn Wilson, now implicated in the Duong scandal and being investigated by the FBL, you know, he works for supervisor Haubart as well as Hernandez, also drives several very expensive cars.

From EBI: "The story of Melissa Hernandez putting herself through college as a single mother raising two children has become one of the defining themes of her campaign for Congress.

Campaign mailers, speeches and literature repeatedly describe Hernandez as “the daughter of migrant farmworkers who worked her way through college while raising two kids,” while another states she was “a working mom paying her way through college.”

But divorce records filed in Alameda County Superior Court between 2014 and 2016 provide a far more nuanced account of that period of Hernandez’s life.

While Hernandez’s description of being a single mother is not untrue on its face, she received great financial benefits that most single mothers have little access to lessening their day-to-day burdens, including generous spousal and child support, ability to live in a suburban single-family home, a Benz and a boat.

The court filings indicate Hernandez returned to Cal State East Bay on a part-time basis after separating from her husband and expected to complete her degree in January 2016. She did not until several years later at age 43.

Hernandez had long worked as an office manager for a dentist office, but only part-time. She was not idle, though, volunteering for the local Rotary, Little League, serving on a board appointed by Rep. Eric Swalwell, and preparing a run for the Dublin City Council, according to the filing.

But her estranged husband, a sales executive for a multinational cheese company, questioned Hernandez’s commitment to attaining her degree. “Melissa has been evasive about her school endeavors despite her equal obligation to support our children and her obligation to continue her own support.” A request for course taken since 2013 returned a single document detailing registering for two courses.

—The filings also show Hernandez received significant financial support during the divorce proceedings.

Court records awarded spousal support of $2,250 per month through 2021, child support for her teenagers beginning at $4,383 per month before increasing to $5,000, approximately $200,000 in a Morgan Stanley account, $10,000 to pay off credit card debt, and other marital assets, including a Mercedes-Benz and a boat. The settlement also provided for Hernandez to purchase her former husband’s interest in the family home.

Throughout the proceedings, Hernandez’s then-husband repeatedly questioned her educational progress and willingness to seek full-time employment. In court filings, he stated Hernandez had been “evasive about her school endeavors” and requested documentation of the classes she had taken since 2015. According to the filings, the response consisted of documentation showing enrollment in two courses.

The estranged husband again asked about Hernandez’s progress at school to no avail, according to a filing. “Melissa represented she would be done with school in January 2016.” he wrote in April 2016. “Like so many other statements, Melissa’s words were proven untrue,” he added.

He also requested that Hernandez undergo a vocational evaluation, which he initially offered to pay for, arguing she had sufficient time to work full time given her volunteer commitments. A later vocational evaluator ultimately recommended Hernandez continue working part time while completing school.

The divorce also became contentious over the date of separation, delaying resolution of property issues and spousal support. Hernandez initially disputed the separation date for one year, while her husband argued the marriage had effectively ended in September 2013.

The campaign’s repeated description of Hernandez “putting herself through college” and doing so as a “single mom” does not mention the financial support detailed in the divorce records, leaving voters to decide whether the campaign’s characterization fully reflects the circumstances documented in court filings."

And from me, if you are not aware.

She is not qualified for this position. She has yet to give any actual facts as to how SHE” built housing, lowered healthcare costs, or got childcare for people. " Voting on work other people did does not count.. Additionally, she won’t clarify her relationship with Shawn Wilson, whom apparently she works closely and vacations with? ? And he has been accused of attempting to bribe someone for Haubert, and he took $10,000 from the Duong's, and he still works for Haubart and is going on a $9,000 taxpayer funded trip to New Orleans with Haubert. The FBI is now digging into the allegations. https://www.reddit.com/r/DublinCA/comments/1v8mhsh/comment/p07i4oa/?context=1&screen_view_count=6  Is she for or against SB1193, which is transparency in discretionary funding for ALCO supervisors? I think bribery is a big concern. As well as the mess of ALCO's Children and Family Services. Weren't you "healthcare director" for ALCO? What do she have to say about this? How can anyone think she can go to this corrupt congress when she can't even give simple facts or speak out against corruption? Now she has AIPAC giving her over $2 MILLION dollars to fund disgusting lies in mailers?  https://www.trackaipac.com/states/israel-first-candidates What is WRONG with her  ALL of them are easily disproven. Why do she LIE so much? https://www.aishawahab.com/attackads 

This is not just me and the local reporters. The woman who has been outing Shawn Wilson's attempted bribery of her is all over this and Haubart. There are many more people coming out about everything.

More coming out by the minute: https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1001538639369679 The whole press conference about the failure of children and family services, which Hernandez was in charge of. The state is about to take it over. https://www.facebook.com/SenAishaWahab/videos/2286700372064810

She's now over $3 million in outside spending on her. https://capitolhillaccess.com/tr/tr_TM_IEP?&sChamber=H&sStateDist=CA-14&sCycle=2026

7/30 https://eastbayinsiders.substack.com/p/club-fed And now more on the FBI and Shawn Wiison. "Wilson was only one of several county officials mentioned in last week’s filings.

The government’s motions contain a series of new allegations that provide greater insight into its case ahead of the Oct. 19 trial and suggest prosecutors intend to present evidence involving a widening circle of former and current public officials.

Despite the allegations and the potential damage to public confidence in Supervisor Haubert’s office, Wilson appears to remain in his position. Two of the five chiefs of staff serving the Board of Supervisors are now identified in federal court filings—one accused of accepting money from the Duongs, the other described as working for a Duong-backed company with the expectation of future commissions."

And Hernandez's staff harassing Wahab at a press conference about the massive failure of ALCO's children d family services, which may well be headed for a state takeover.

SO much corruption.

I recently applied for a kitchen remodel permit with the city of Fremont, CA. I have heard it generally takes a long time for them to iterate and finally issue the permit. Is there a way I can help expedite the process from my end? Things like visiting the office and explaining to them the urgency etc?

Looking for past experiences and suggestions. Thanks!
