  • Found this sweet girl in Richmond, Ca.
    Very sweet girl. I unfortunately can't take her home and animal services won't come. Can anyone take her in? She has a collar and phone number but noโ€ฆ (Nextdoor Simas Ave)
  • I really think this stretch of San Pablo Ave needs some serious pedestrian-safety improvements.
    First, I think we desperately need another marked crosswalk with pedestrian-activated flashing lights directly between the newer apartments/bus stopโ€ฆ (Nextdoor Sunnyview)
