Kearny Mesa – not really a neighborhood
Giovanni's, Chevron carwash, GS Glockstore, Sunroad, Montgomery Field, Koreans on Convoy Street
First Korean Market, Kearny Mesa. It is warm and stuffy inside, vast and yet claustrophobic.
Giovanni's leaves cribbage fans homeless
- I used to come to Giovanni’s at the turn of the century when they were located at Balboa Avenue about a mile west from the I-805 freeway. I remember playing pool and drinking beer upstairs after taking finals at Mesa College. I then took my family to the Clairemont Mesa Boulevard location in 2012 to feast on their calzones and antipasto salad. After I caught word that the this location was closed, I had to see it to believe it.

Dueling car washes on Aero Drive
- Not one of the speakers indicated they lived in the area — except Claus Norby. Though it turns out he lived in Bonita at the time – according to the appeal he filed in October against the planning commission’s approval of the Arco project. At the hearing, Norby said he was there on behalf of Stonecrest Village residents and the neighboring business park. He neglected to mention that Stonecrest Village is quite a distance from Arco and is actually closer to the Chevron/Happy Car Wash.

Chevron/Happy Car Wash, across the street, paid for a traffic study that contradicted the city’s findings.
Gun-shop opening garners councilman's proclamation
- On September 17, over 800 people turned out for the grand opening of the GS Glockstore in Kearny Mesa. Representing the Clairemont/Kearny Mesa area of city-council district 6, Chris Cate read in his proclamation, “To support great small businesses in our community, and the Second Amendment.” Councilman Cate added, “I’m not only a supporter. I’m a customer.”

Some will lose Sunroad’s parking game in Kearny Mesa
- Residents of Kearny Mesa refer to it as “musical cars,” the nightly race against hundreds of neighbors for a parking spot. If unsuccessful, the loser must decide between parking as far as five blocks away or risk getting towed from the nearby hotel parking lot or permit-only parking zone.

“I’m tired of driving around at midnight for 45 minutes trying to find parking,” says a resident of the Spectrum Center community.
Sanders wants to turn Montgomery Field over to developers of high-rises
- If Montgomery is developed, will land values in the surrounding Kearny Mesa area soar? Will Kearny Mesa homeowners join the cabal of developers, media, bankers, retailers, and chamber of commerce cheerleaders pressuring and bankrolling politicians into approving more development? Will Montgomery be a financial flop for city coffers as the conversion of the Naval Training Center has been?

San Diego's Koreatown on Convoy Street
- If you walk into a restaurant with Lee Ann Kim, it is a bit like that fabulous and continuous shot by Martin Scorsese in Goodfellas. In the movie, Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) escorts his date through the back door and into the kitchen of a Copacabana nightclub. Each step along the way people wave and say hello, making him the center of attention. When Lee Ann Kim walks into a restaurant — especially a loud, smoky Korean barbecue place — everyone turns toward her, saying hello, waving, admiring what they see.

Lee Ann Kim at Korea House: "If I should do something wrong, it reflects badly on the entire Korean community."
