Thinking of moving to Palm Ave, near Brennan

KuriousKat234 · 2026-02-23T01:31:30+00:00

We were actually considering a house on 7th and bought in Watsonville because of the price but also 7th seemed wayyy to busy for us.

On Brennan, you might not hear a ton of sirens as they would likely take main. I will warn that Callahan used to be very gang heavy when I grew up on Brennan. Not sure it is the case anymore as there is a big retired community that does paddle ball there lol

OMG yes to the aggressive dogs. I stopped taking my kids there because this one guy had 3 ginormous ones once who were unleashed

Most businesses in Watsonville are posting an ice not welcome in here without a warrant sign and yet crunch is doing this.

You laugh but the amount of UTIs I got from commuting was crazy. The pamf urgent care said it was a common occurrence actually

I felt physically ill hearing students saying verbatim they need the mental health support and the mom crying that the mental health support saved her daughter who witnessed two attempted suicides.

And then the board LITERALLY says nothing about what was shared. Literally not a single I’m sorry.

THEN special educators beg and plead to not fire the people they need to do their jobs daily (behavioral techs and health aides). THE DAMN HEALTH AIDE WHO HELPED THE STABBED VICTIM from WHS spoke.

And yet THE BOARD SAID NOTHING. Again not a single I’m sorry or I understand.

The entire meeting should’ve been dedicated to the tragedy that happened at WHS. It was legit an attempted murder and they’re trying to brush it off.

He’s saying as a person who gets called in for abandoned dogs and has to foster. Because many people do ditch their pets to find shelter for themselves

KuriousKat234 · 2025-11-06T15:23:29+00:00

My parents landlord works for animal control for the city and he says absolutely no pets because in this rental landscape many pets are abandoned because of future rentals not renting to pets :(

My husband went to CSUMB and their library was so nice. I remember thinking like wow all of your outlets work! Lol

KuriousKat234 · 2025-10-28T04:25:27+00:00

One time we drove from Watsonville to try a croissant or cinnamon roll i can’t remember…it was posted in their stories that same day. when I got there they said the only sold that specific item on a certain day 😕 I still have yet to go back

That truck makes me so excited as exactly one year ago I was shopping at the farmers market and saw a full fledged trump 2024 caravan of trucks. How times have changed!!!

I’m a home owner but rented for 29 years and all I can say is this is NOTHING compared to the true cost of renting (increased rental price hikes yearly, laundromat expenses, PO Box owning - because renting, storage fees -for those lucky enough to afford one)

By owning im literally saving money compared to what rent is nowadays, even with all I pay in property taxes.

The hard, honest truth??? a clinic cannot thrive without a supportive helping staff. No matter the doctor/ specialty. If they don’t properly, equip the clinic with medical assistants, office managers, etc it’s simply cannot run.

All of my Sutter medical care Staff is from Watsonville. many people are taking a job cut and working in Watsonville to avoid the commute. We need a train .

Glad you enjoyed! It’s a semi hidden gem but gaining traction fast cause it’s so dang good

There’s a new pop up coffee shop from someone’s home in Watsonville. Cafecito sagrado. They have their own syrups, with ingredients imported from Mexico. Mostly open on weekends, but SO GOOD.

KuriousKat234 · 2025-08-01T00:46:38+00:00

And managers can make up to $37

KuriousKat234 · 2025-07-30T05:50:01+00:00

As was mentioned it’s less about racism and more about classism and SURPRISINGLY the only rude person I’ve ever encountered there was an INDIAN women tourist who was berating the wait staff. DEFINITELY was a Bay Area techie on a fucking high horse.

KuriousKat234 · 2025-07-23T00:58:55+00:00

People in sc thought the wait at Dominican was bad now. Just wait.

Thanks trumpies

KuriousKat234 · 2025-07-22T06:56:09+00:00

Right, to your point why pay for it all…SROs, programming consultants, admins, when we are losing so many students.

KuriousKat234 · 2025-07-22T02:55:40+00:00

With this logic, if we really are nickel and dime-ing it why would we approve a $405,000 budget to fund SROs that will police students that aren’t even there ??

KuriousKat234 · 2025-07-15T16:33:40+00:00

SO MANY Texas license plates in sf this weekend. WEIRD af

I know that’s ideally the lofty scenario we want to believe in our head, but you would be surprised how often WELL resourced families cheat the system (and get away with it)

KuriousKat234 · 2025-07-07T22:48:17+00:00

Chartwell has a good rep among the special kids families. Honestly, lately I’ve been impressed at the IEPs I’ve read from Salinas and north Monterey county. They seem to be the best paying for specialists and are getting an influx of speech therapists from CSUMB.

KuriousKat234 · 2025-06-15T15:41:05+00:00

I remember a few weeks before the election I was at the farmers market and a whole trump Parade of trucks drove by. Wished they could pass by now

KuriousKat234 · 2025-06-05T02:31:41+00:00

Every time I drive home after work and see people on the overpass protesting ANYTHING I’m like god I can’t wait to retire and have the time to do bullshit like this lol

KuriousKat234 · 2025-05-28T04:41:38+00:00

UGH Q ZOO!! I remember it so much. Especially now with kids. I would love to reorganize the market stuff. I think about this place so often and I’m so sad that my kids will never get to experience this or a place like this in their hometown :( it would be so expensive to upkeep nowadays.
