Fremont CA

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Authorities have dismantled an organized retail theft crew linked to more than 100 incidents across Northern California and Nevada. While officials have not publicly identified the suspects, investigators recovered more than $83,000 in stolen merchandise during searches of several San Jose properties. The recovered items included goods from Home Depot, TJ Maxx, and Burlington.

Deloitte is dialing back paid time off and parental leave for a slice of its U.S. workforce, and a lot of that pain is landing on Bay Area support staff. Under a sweeping redesign of internal job tracks, vacation banks are shrinking, paid parental leave is getting cut in half for some, family-building reimbursements are disappearing and pension accruals will pause for affected...

Since current Gov. Gavin Newsom has hit his term limit, he cannot seek reelection this year.

If you're in San Jose and your Saturday boba run is starting to feel repetitive, point the Mazda up I-880. Milpitas and Fremont have quietly become the densest Asian cafe corridor in the South Bay — Taiwanese teahouses, Vietnamese phin cafes, Hong Kong cha chaan teng, ceremonial matcha bars, all within a 20-minute drive. Here's the crawl, clustered so you can actually finish...

If you're on the Peninsula and craving birria — the slow-cooked, cheese-draped, consommé-dipped kind — the stretch from San Mateo to Redwood City is stacked. A couple of longtime picks are gone (Chico's in San Mateo and La Vaca Birria in San Bruno both show closed on Yelp as of late 2025), but the scene is still deep. Here's the lineup worth your...

You know the scene. The heroine walks into a soft-pink cafe, orders a towering shaved ice, and the strings come in. That exact aesthetic lives along El Camino Real in Santa Clara, with a short drive into West San Jose, Saratoga and Cupertino filling in the rest. Here are the spots that feel closest to the set — ranked for both vibe and actual...

You're 16 miles and about 25 minutes from the Pacific, and the drive itself is half the reason to go. Highway 92 winds past Crystal Springs Reservoir, Purisima Creek redwoods, Ouroboros Farms, and the 1,800-year-old Methuselah Tree on the way to the coast. That's a proper drive. The food at the other end needs to earn it. Here are the stops that...

Rancho San Antonio is the default, and the parking lot proves it by 8 a.m. every weekend. The quieter alternative: Midpen — the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District — manages 27 preserves across roughly 70,000 acres, most of them intentionally minimalist (a parking lot, a sign, maybe an outhouse). That's a feature, not a flaw, especially for a quiet sunrise walk with golden-hour light and...

A look at the Bay Area’s top ten traffic chokepoints shows a recurring theme: traffic patterns from workers commuting south for jobs in tech or aerospace.

California lost another wave of restaurants this month, and the most consequential one is a short walk from downtown Mountain View's main stretch. Here is what changed, what it means locally, and why the industry keeps contracting.
