Stories hidden inside the San Diego Reader
Ventura Place, rock art, Brenda Starr, Vietnamese poets
Editor: The following feature stories appeared in the interior pages of the Reader in the 1970s and 1980s and have just been converted to digital form.
Meditations while riding San Diego Transit
“Yes, these people on this bus are alone. Alone as you. Each person is alone, always, no matter how many people they arc with or whom they may love. Each couple is two separate people. Together they may form a third entity, but its existence and character is constantly dependent upon each of the individuals."

The liveliest street in San Diego
“Cooking was Harpo's religion. He was zealous about it, and when customers were in a hurry, he shrugged and gave them directions to Jack-in-the-Box. Harpo was like everyone else on the street. He put people up in his apartment above the store, he fed them, he got them jobs, and he got them out of trouble.”

In 1979, after the yellowtail project failed, Minoru Tanaka applied for permission to grow scallops in San Diego Bay.
Minori Tanaka needs two million scallops and about $200,000

The Wells Fargo Plaza has magnetized the area.
Seaport Village is a Walt-Disney solution
Seaport Village is a controversial subject. No “designer” likes it. No true architect likes it. I don’t know how publicly they say that, but they say it to each other. If you hear one who says he likes it, the other people in the crowd look at him like he has the plague or something.

Nothing ever makes sense in Brenda Starr
The situation was made even worse when Brenda and Basil had a kid, upon whom they inflicted the nauseating moniker Starr Twinkle. Within weeks after her birth, Starr Twinkle was making ironic asides in the last panel of the Sunday strip, a job that had formerly been the province of the pigeons that roost outside the Flash’s skyscraper.

Ha Thuc Sinh published ten books, including seven translations of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s works.
The profundity of the Vietnamese poets in San Diego
Nam’s poetry occasionally appears in the fortnightly Tim Tuc, a small Vietnamese newspaper published by a pharmacist in Linda Vista. “The Vietnamese do have a lot of respect for poetry. Being far from their homeland, they like to read things filled with emotion about their country, young people especially. Poetry is a natural disposition to the Vietnamese, something heaven gave them."
