Yeah I can't believe Dos coyotes and Murder Burger are not on the list. Great food at great prices.
Stacy Sheehan April 12, 2013 at 02:34 am
I agree there is nothing better than sitting outside on the patio at Bistro 33 with friends.
Stacy Sheehan April 12, 2013 at 02:29 am
Who made this list i can't believe Bistro 33, Cafe Bernardo, and Tres Hermanas Dos Coyotes,are not…Read More on the list. Those are my favorite places to eat.

I thought Starbucks was better than this. Very disappointing. I will not be stopping at Starbucks…Read More anymore. Wish you the best "Common Grounds"! Diane Whitcomb

I am regular at Common Grounds.
I will not shop at a 'terrornomics' mall that has abandoned a…Read More local business in order to sell their hard-earned success to a national brand coffeehouse. Worst of all the workers are thrown out of work with only a few days notice. Stringing along a local in order to work out leases with nationals is bad faith, anti-community policy, and revolting-development.

I am writing to protest the imminent closing of Common Grounds Coffee, my home away…Read More from home in South Davis. I am disappointed -- disgusted, actually -- that Regency Centers, a very large corporation, won't offer a new lease to Son Chong and his wife, Michelle Kim, to keep their successful mom-and-pop store in the Oakshade Town Center. The company's take-no-prisoners attitude jeopardizes the livelihood of the proprietors of an independently owned small business.
I hope Regency Centers will reconsider its decision and start negotiating at this eleventh hour on a new lease for Common Grounds Coffee. Not only will this be a sound business move, it will earn Regency Centers the goodwill of a large segment of the Davis population. For many in our town, Common Grounds has been a destination coffee shop for more than a dozen years. The shop, under Mr. Chong and Ms. Kim, has attracted a very diverse group of loyal customers -- neighborhood residents; business executives; and UC Davis students, educators and administrators.
I hope Regency Centers will give Mr. Chong and Ms. Kim the opportunity to keep Common Grounds Coffee in operation at the Oakshade Town Center for many, many years.

Don't you just hate it when you have to go more than 300 feet to get from one Starbucks to another?

Before I use to go to Woodland or Vacaville or Sacramento,I am glad I just shop in Davis.Very…Read More convenient.I don't have to spent one whole day shopping going outside of Davis.Can't wait fo TJMAXX.

Awesome, I was part of this study! I was wondering when it would be published. But, yeah, I still…Read More shop downtown a ton! But for men's and children's clothing, bedding, some home goods, etc., the Target in Davis keeps me in Davis. Can't wait for the TJ Maxx, either!

I've enjoyed the mix of crafts and flea market items, young and old, and live music at the…Read More Davis flea markets. This sounds extra special with 2 days, more vendors, and live music shows!

Megan, according to a Chipotle rep, "the restaurant just needs some kind of proof that people…Read More are school employees. So any kind of documentation, whether it’s an ID or a form showing the person’s name on the school roster along with a photo ID, should work fine."
Hope that helps!

KDVS is very entertaining and students who volunteer there learn a skill and its creative place.…Read More Please support them. They also have the best news broadcasts.
I listen to the sports hour on Tuesday at 7 pm. These students cover all the UC sports and they are really good at it. KDVS rocks.

Everyone is for proper disposal of waste. However, the way the settlement money was distributed…Read More makes me wonder if this activity is really being done in the spirit of public good. The same group of DA's have sued and collected money from a string of other large stores (the ones with deep pockets) selling similar products (drugs and other toxic materials). The winnings always go back to the DA's own organizations to support their own bloated activities. At best this represents a conflict of interest. This practice reminds me of the gangs in SF Chinatown when they offer store owners safety in exchange for protection payments. So when gangs extort money from store owners that is against the law but when DA's do essentially the same thing that is "public good"?

I believe that the purpose of a service is to provide something of value, not just to employ people…Read More in a task that can be easily accomplished by a piece of equipment or machinery. Riveting was replaced by welding, we don’t need buggy whip makers anymore because we use cars in lieu of horse drawn carriages and sheet rock and tape replaced the people who used to apply plaster in buildings. At one time perhaps a quarter to a third of our population was on the farm and they were replaced by machinery. It’s called progress.

It's strange how the company says it will save money with all the money it is collecting by getting…Read More rid of few workers sometimes technology does not pay.

Davis Bicycles! will also be at today's Picnic in the Park. We will have our booth set up on the…Read More lawn west of the Oak tree. We have free bells and bike lights to install on your bike. However, you must bring your bike to us to receive these gifts. This program for bike safety is made possible by revenues from our Clips Beer and Film Festival, brought to Davis by the New Belgium Brewing Company. We will also have information about May is Bike Month activities, and other upcoming events. We hope to see you there.
