People in search of items can find what they need for free. Everybody wins while also helping to participate in a circular economy.
To join the group, you must be a Livermore resident or work in the city. The group prohibits promotions and spam.
Livermore, CA Rocks!
The name of this group says it all — but it's not referring to what you probably think. This group is all about rocks. As in, stones. However, they are some very fun rocks. It works like this: people paint rocks, they hide the rocks in parks and downtown areas, other people look for these rocks and they post them in the group along with where they found them. Then, they re-hide the rocks for new people to find. It's a collaborative scavenger-hunt meets art project that never ends.
Anyone can participate — just be sure to write a note telling people to post in the group if you paint a rock. Kids are welcome to keep the ones they find if they want to (as long as you also replenish the supply). You can have fun with what you paint on the rocks and then watch as they travel around the city! Some people even host rock painting and hiding parties.
Livermore Rants and Raves
This Facebook group is a great way to learn about local businesses to support. Whatever kind of business or service you are looking for, posts in this group will help you find someone skilled in your Livermore community based on the raves of other people. Discussions are not limited to businesses though; you can share your opinions with your neighbors about a variety of topics and discuss the community.
Advertising is strictly prohibited, including home and job listings. Posts selling items are also not allowed, along with any politics other than Livermore topics. With these rules in place, your feed should be well-informed on the community without being spammed.
