Here’s to supporting our community’s decades-old, family-owned small businesses!! The South Bay showed up for Stan's Donut Shop this summer and is continuing to show up — 38 people in line at 9:15 on a Friday. Worth every minute and every calorie!! 😉
Btw, we’re here this morning not just to buy donuts, but to pick up Stan’s donation to the Unravel Pediatric Cancer Glitter Gala auction. Like I said the other day, it’s these small businesses that hold our community together.
Have a sweet day, all!

Go, go, go!!!! I can’t write a full post right now, but know that these are selling out within hours at every story that gets them, all over the state — I’m in groups that have been tracking them, and it’s been crazy. BIG TIP: Grab the cardboard and go straight to the register to pay!! The number of cardboards don’t = the number of tickets available because you can buy a bunch with each cardboard. If you grab a cardboard, then do your shopping, the tickets could be gone by the time you get to checkout.
I’ll update asap with a post about how CRAZY good this deal is, but basically, if you’re thinking a 2 day DL trip between now and mid-December, GET THIS NOW!!!

Whaaaat?! This is awesome! We always park in the Convention Center garage, and having the first 90 min be free is an extra incentive to head downtown to eat. Lol now I can go try all the downtown coffee spots my readers recommended yesterday!!!

Great move, City of SJ!!

Did you know that you can park in any of five Downtown parking garages for free for the first 90 minutes? We just added the Convention Center parking garage to the list of locations where you can get this sweet deal, in addition to the Market and San Pedro, Fourth Street, Third Street, and Second and San Carlos Street garages.

Find the free parking that works for you, and see real-time availability, at parksj.org/. Exclusions during special events apply at some locations.
