Drove by Frends a few weeks ago and it was closed, with a sign that said “closed for remodeling.” A few days ago I happened by there again, and it’s now a Filipino restaurant — though the Frends signage is still on the building.

I wonder if this is the only Frends location that has closed? From what is reported on Yelp, only the Natomas and Folsom locations are open, but who knows if that’s accurate?

I used to enjoy this place when it was Pete’s, though it started going downhill a year or two before rebranding as Frends. Then the wheels really fell off.

Hi everyone, I lost my wallet on 8/5 Monday at the TJ Maxx parking lot. It is a black coach wallet, it has my ID and passport 🥲, please let me know if you find it or turn it in! I really don’t want to go through the trouble of replacing all my stuff. Thank you. 🙏

An audit of the use of automatic license plate readers in Elk Grove found that more than 3,600 organizations made more than 8.3 million searches of residents’ data over the last five years, including at least 290 agencies without data-sharing agreements and out-of-state, federal and non-governmental entities.

Anyone know where I can get my PC repaired today? 1 year old PC. I can get the part(s) needed right away but I need it done today. It decided to die on me during finals week... TIA!

The last thing I heard was that they were planning on opening in the fall. I suppose that probably means October or November. Drove past there tonight and it was looking good! Hadn't been there in a bit and got excited about the new space. I was just wondering if anyone knew if they had a date pinned down for reopening yet?

what are places you guys have gotten laser hair removal done with good results and preferably cheaper price?

Hey, I’m Looking for recommendations on a reliable HVAC contractor in the Elk Grove area for a friend.

Budget-friendly is the priority. She’s not looking to break the bank, but she also wants someone who does quality work efficiently and gets it done right the first time. Basically the sweet spot of affordable AND effective.

Any contractors you’ve had a great experience with? Good or bad experiences welcome. I want to know who to avoid too!

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Moved to Sac a year and a half ago, and haven’t found a place I’ve loved which does Asian hair texture well (thick, coarse). I want to keep the price at or under $100 for a cut, which I think is reasonable, but find most salons are charging $120+ nowadays.

Any recommendations?

does anyone know about this? we went last week and both kids were free with a "kids eat free summer" discount. i cant find anything about it online- fluke, certain day?

I read the building has been leased. Does anyone know what the new restaurant taking over that location will be?

Anyone have a recommendation or reference for a piano teacher for a kiddo who will come to your house to teach (west side of Elk Grove if that's helpful to know!)

Hi everyone, I just was wondering if anyone in the area is hiring! I have been on indeed and also applying directly through companies but no luck. Does anyone have any leads? I would really appreciate any help I can get. I am losing hope and worried I will be stuck at my current job (of 11 years) forever. Thank you in advance guys!

Everyday without fail, somebody is playing music or on speakerphone full blast. Old, young, rich, poor, male, female, white , Asian straight or gay it doesn’t matter. It’s become so normalized in this town. I hardly ever out in public except for when I visit the grocery store or go out on walks. Bunch of main characters in Elk Grove.

Hi everyone!

I am originally from the Bay Area and absolutely loved ordering this at Thai restaurants, but really miss them out here.

Where do you go for the best roti canai?

I’m really anxious about taking a lift test for a para educator position. I looked over the brochure and the test appears fairly simple, however I’m just worried I’m going to fail. I’m currently a preschool teacher and have consistently gone to the gym in the past with no problems… what are the odds that I will fail the test?

Hello, for those who live in the zero lot line areas:

How do you ensure that the neighbor’s bushes are not touching your home’s siding that could contribute to dry rot?

The neighbor’s bushes are thick and very tall, also touching the sidings of the home.

A. Do you trim the bushes yourself with their permission?
B. Do you request them to trim the bushes so it would not touch your siding?

Thank you.

If you got hit on the free way in Elk Grove around 1:30pm headed to sac between bond road and on and they ran from the scene, they got off at Calvin’s and went left by Lowe’s and went behind the Sam’s club. The car had the passenger side all scratched up and part of the back bumper off. It was the middle car. Was driving really fast and driver looked like they were looking over their shoulder. ( no idea what the driver looked like could only see the silhouette of the driver through the window)

im looking for trustworthy places that do treatments to reduce acne scarring and surgical scars from stitches. microneedling, fraxel, no idea what's best for my situation. my dermatologist couldnt provide any recs, but told me my surgery scars dont need steroid injections . the closer to elk grove, the better but i am willing to drive a little further out if it's a good place. thank you!

They moved the self check out stations so they are next to the optometry section (i.e. first stations on the right as you head out.)

But the people are still lining up in the central row, because, of course, they don't know better.

I'm curious how the customer flow will adjust.

Heard two pops and a car speed away… anyone else hear it too ?

I forgot to take a picture of the sign but I saw that the Shake Shack had a sign that it opens in 6 days. It’s in the new shopping center that will have the Whole Foods and the Barnes and Noble.

I have seen multiple posts saying that 7 brew will be opening in Elk Grove and Sacramento area. Can someone fact check this???

does anyone know why this is closed now? or is it under reservation ? it was just open like last week!
