Ostrich Heights
Hey, Matt:
Where I live in University Heights there are signs everywhere on sidewalks, monuments, and such that say "University Heights" with an ostrich below. What's the deal with the ostrich?
-- Dale in UH
Hike on over to the intersection of Park and Adams, face north, and imagine this scene. San Diego's most popular park ca. 1900, Mission Cliff Park; the nearby city trolley barn; and, next door, Harvey Bentley's Ostrich Farm (ladies' hat plumes, our specialty). Now imagine adventurous San Diegans taking the trolley to the park; oohing and aahing at the view over the valley; then rounding out the day with a ride on one of Harvey's cranky birds.
