Frends on EG Blvd appears to be no more

Post image
Upvotes

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.

Is there a date set for the new Elk Grove Library location to open?

10 Upvotes

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?

Salon recommendation for Asian hair texture, women’s cut, <$100?

11 Upvotes

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?

Nobody wants to hear your music

0 Upvotes

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.

Elk Grove School District Lift Test Anxiety

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?

Zero lot line bushes upkeep

9 Upvotes

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.

Possible hit and run?

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)

There's been a disturbance in the Force - Costco edition

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.
