I have been approached by someone looking to open a small art cinema in Fair Oaks. They are looking for a ground level space, less than 1000 sq ft, with 10+ foot high ceilings.
If you know of any place that is or might become available, please let me know and I'll connect the two of you.

FOCAP is a monthly meeting of local nonprofits and political leaders. The attached documents are from the March 2026 meeting.
Today I had a great conversation with Jason, one of the owners of Old Soul Co here in Fair Oaks—and there’s real potential for collaboration with FOVEC.
They’ve offered to:
• Host a future FOVEC gathering or social
• Provide discounted food & beverages for our group
• Feature local artists on a rotating “art wall” (every couple of months)
We also started brainstorming ideas they’ve successfully done at other locations that could work in the Village, like:
Based on the first 7 submissions from our March Survey, here is a summary of the feedback.
The community sentiment regarding the Village Park and Amphitheatre renovations is largely positive, though a clear divide exists regarding infrastructure.
Overall Sentiment: 5 out of 7 respondents (approx. 70%) report visiting the Village "More" or "Much more" than last year.
The "Wins": The new playground is a major hit for families, and the general "vibe," concerts, and dog-walking appeal are driving daily visits.
The "Pain Points": Parking remains a polarizing issue. While one resident visits more because of "more parking," another visits less because they find parking "too scarce" and unsafe for pedestrians.
