Bill and Steve Schanes. At the Santee swap meet they came upon 900 comic books on sale for fifty dollars.
“A lot of times we had to tell people, ‘You’re not touchin’ the food until you take a shower.’ ”
Absolutely no preservatives
One by one the activists have left and the countercultural landmarks have passed away: the OB Rag, the OB Free School, the Community School. The Left Bank, once a cauldron of leftist idealism, has been reincarnated as Peninsula Bank. Only the venerable Newport Avenue head shop, the Black, and People’s Food have survived.

Archive storage area. The heart of the archives is the huge public records collection dating back to 1850.

“What hotel was razed to make way for the U.S. Grant?” (the Horton) or “What did Mission Bay used to be called?” (False Bay) or “What survivor of the shootout at the OK Corral lived briefly in San Diego?” (Wyatt Earp). Child’s stuff! Grade B trivia. So I hit Crawford with some grade A. He snagged on “What year did the fountain in Horton Plaza freeze?”

Bishop Leo Maher. “No bishop has ever been required to be open about finances. But Bishop Maher is a lot more open than most other bishops.”

Damskey: “The style I’m going for is crisp, clean, dry, high acids."
San Pasqual Winery's hard beginnings
"Wine people tend to be a little snobbish, and when you have a fancy dinner party you want to put a cabernet or a [French] bordeaux on the table. Nobody puts gamay on the table at a fancy dinner party, and that’s San Pasqual's number-one red wine.”
