Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Competency of Suspect Questioned In Milpitas/San Jose Murders (sfist.com) — Legal proceedings are on hold in a high-profile case involving an August killing at a Milpitas apartment complex and another in San Jose, as the suspect undergoes psychiatric evaluation in Santa Clara County. Prosecutors say surveillance evidence ties her to both scenes, while families of the victims, who were close friends, await answers as doctors determine whether she is competent to stand trial.
2. High school football 2026: Friday's Week 7 scores, Saturday's schedule (eastbaytimes.com) — Milpitas High's football team just posted a 42–30 win over Sequoia, part of a full slate of Week 7 prep scores from around the Bay Area. The roundup also lists Friday's remaining matchups and Saturday's schedule, helping local fans track league rivals and plan which games to catch this weekend.
3. Californians can't get any peace and quiet — state ranks almost worst in new noise study (timesnewsnetworks.com) — California ranks among the loudest states in a new national noise study, with some regions regularly exposed to potentially harmful sound levels. Yet Milpitas stands out positively, landing fourth on a separate list of the nation's least-stressed cities, alongside Sunnyvale and Santa Clara, suggesting that local quality of life remains relatively strong despite statewide noise concerns.
4. Popular Japanese store Hashi Market opens in Cupertino (eastbaytimes.com) — Hashi Market, a popular Japanese grocery chain, has opened its first West Coast store in Cupertino and is already eyeing Milpitas as a potential Bay Area expansion site. The New York–based retailer specializes in imported Japanese foods, fresh seafood, and cosmetics, and plans up to 10 new stores by mid-2027. Local shoppers could soon see another Asian market option closer to home if a Milpitas location is approved.
