This fusion goes back to the early 1900s here in California. Punjabi farmers sent their sons over to chase the American dream. They ended up marrying and starting families with Mexican women thus fusing the two cultures. Both cuisines love spices, chiles, cilantro, and mango. This was a match made in heaven.

I'm suprised there's no Indian food in Santa Maria and I think this fusion would be a good way to introduce people to some really delicious food. Yall know about mango lassis??? Santa Maria is so ready for mango lassi!!!

Anyway hit me up if you want to make this happen! I can cook!

Is there any store in Santa maria that'll buy action figures that isn't online

Who is the best attorney for a dui in Santa Maria or around the area

I'm trying to help a local senior couple find a new place to live, and I'm hoping someone here might know of some options we haven't found yet.

They currently live in an older travel trailer (1999) and have been told they need to relocate within the next few weeks.

Does anyone know of RV parks that are flexible with trailer age restrictions, or property owners who rent spaces with hookups, or even other options we may not be thinking of?

They need to stay in or around Santa Maria, Orcutt, Nipomo, or Guadalupe for work.

I'm trying to get ahead of this before they find themselves without anywhere to go. If anyone has suggestions or knows someone who might be able to help, I'd appreciate it.

Good Afternoon community of Santa Maria. I know this isn’t a usual you would see but I have a question of a experience I had a few days ago. I was home alone and out of the sudden a door knock came from 2 individuals which I did not see knock on my door. The door knocking got more ruff to the point they started screaming if anyone was there and there was a lady outside who I believe was with them saying they always do this but I have never done anything wrong to begin with. I only saw a tiny glimpse of them through the door peaking glass but I only saw them wearing 2 caps and I’m wondering if anyone has had this type of experience before and can anyone verify if this way really nice. Thank you.

Hi! I’m 29 and I’ve been living in Santa Maria almost 2 years now but looking to find some cool people to hang with! I’m liberal, loving collecting smiskis, play a few video games, love bookstores/record stores, and love random sidequests! I’m a huge nerd but also love sports and being outdoors. I would love to find my people here!

The biggest eye roll every time I drive down this street. 🙄 Somehow, these signs manage to get worse every time. Here are some of the latest ones.
How about putting up a message about ICE terrorizing our neighbors, Trump’s war in Iran, or the ridiculous cost of groceries and gas??? You know, things that are actually affecting people's lives.

And let’s not forget the annual “Farm Day” event they host every year. It’s especially ironic considering how many immigrants in our community work in agriculture and play such a vital role in keeping our local farming industry running.

I've been looking to get more into composting lately, and saw that the County sells these really cute vermicomposters. I'm thinking of getting one. Has anyone tried these out? Can you let me know how you like it?

Also saw the Earth Machines they sell for pretty cheap but I don't have a yard so I don't think it'll work for me.

Earlier this week a parent was detained by ICE while dropping his daughter off at the Allan Hancock campus. The school was not notified they would be there nor endorsed this at all, it happened at 9am. Please help support Junie, the daughter of the man who was taken. You can read more about the situation in the Tiktok she posted, which I also will link. 5,000$ has already been raised out of the 6.5k goal!

What happenned. Heard it was shut down for safety and rescheduled for today?

Hey everyone! I’m looking to expand my social circle and find some like-minded friends who are deeply interested in geopolitics, current world events, and progressive/leftist perspectives. While I have a solid group of friends, I would really like to add people in my life who follow what’s happening in the world and want to talk about it seriously as my current friends and family are oblivious and don't really care. Not everything has to be political. Down for gym sessions, Gaming, comedy shows, karaoke, etc but for sure an outlet for these serious talks. Big plus if you already know that as much as that old turd in office sucks, he is just a puppet.

A little bit about me: Massive nerd that also happens to be a gym junkie. Although you can tell I don't turn down food. Big into gaming (PC/PS5), mostly Fortnite and Warzone(as much as I hate the military complex), UFC, Dragon Ball Z, Marvel...

Looking for: people who want to squad up for games or chat about pop culture, but are also down for deep, nuanced political discussions. Must be able to handle humor from dad jokes to super dark. Don't care where you're from or what you look like as long as you've got a good heart and morals. If you know about self sufficiency, "conspiracy" theories, etc.

The non-negotiables: Mutual respect and inclusivity are essential to me. Looking to connect with people who are firmly anti-hate (pro-LGBTQ+, anti-racist, etc.). That means no ignorant turds.

If you're down to hop on Discord, game, or just talk geopolitics, drop a comment or shoot me a DM with a bit about your favorite hobbies or what games you’re currently playing! You can catch me on IG @vegmeister or Discord same name.

Be careful out there today. I saw at least 5 police vehicles including a motorcycle cop and an unmarked SUV (with lights in back) on Broadway south to Betteravia. They were pulling people over. I am also wondering if the unmarked vehicle could have been 🧊.

Any places you recommend I can take my brother to practice his driving?

I'm looking to hear from anyone who has had an experience with Good Samaritan Shelter.

Whether you worked there, stayed there, or reached out to them for help, I want to hear your story. Especially if you were treated unfairly or discriminated against, turned away or denied help, saw other people being mistreated, or were punished or pushed out for speaking up.

I am already aware there is fraud going on there and that it is being investigated, so please do not be afraid to come forward. Please message me privately. You do not have to post anything publicly, and whatever you share with me will stay confidential.

Even if you think your experience was small, it still matters. And please share this post so it can reach people who may not see it otherwise.

Thank you.

Anybody have a dentist they can recommend that would be good for someone with a bit of dental trauma (e.g. doesn't give you crap about needing extra novocain, weighted blankets, etc, etc)? And takes Delta?
