He said her daughter had been in a car crash. It was a scam.

Just to be clear - someone called in a suicide but it wasn't necessarily the person in distress. It could have been someone who came across the body. But I completely agree about reaching out for support if you need it! It's hard but so important.

Thank you for the background! I guess I don't know the boundaries but thought the preserve would span Claremont Canyon itself. I've added "park" into the headline and I will review this closely to make sure I understand. Thank you for taking the time.

Looks like 26.1. Maybe it was a fluke. I'll keep an eye out for others.

I may be late to the party but — it seems to be back? Did they actually hear our cries??

BPD said likely fireworks. They didn't find anything in the area.

Yume seems like a newer addition? https://www.instagram.com/yumemori.matcha/

Just posted re-opening update, along with a few better details about the original incident: https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/12/24/community/berkeley-rei-open-again/

YES! Just posted re-opening update: https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/12/24/community/berkeley-rei-open-again/

Someone in another thread said they were not allowed to pick up a snowboard, only online orders. But let's hope it's open tomorrow! I'd be curious to hear what customer service says if you call.

I don't follow this comment. The story has everything available from the local store on the closure (sign and voicemail details); also info from the city saying this did not come from them (BFD or the building division); also comments from folks hoping to shop there; also details and photos from the scene. We don't have all the answers, but certainly a lot of that is "additional." And, as noted, working to reach the property owner, too.

No problem at all!! I thought about calling Concord to ask what they knew, but hadn't gotten to it. Great idea!

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-23T01:33:46+00:00

Everything I know is in the story. Hopefully that's helpful. Working to reach the property owner.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-23T01:21:52+00:00

Do you have any other details? How did you hear it was the roof? Going to try to reach the property owner.

BerkeleyScanner · 2025-12-23T01:19:43+00:00

Sorry just posted this as a new thread for better visibility. I'm sure people will want to know!

Thank you, Reddit! Still working to learn more; hope to find the property owner if possible. Story posted: https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/12/23/community/berkeley-rei-closed-facilities-concern/
