How cool Elon swimsuits were
Pacific Comics started at swapmeet, the precision of San Pasqual Winery, Peoples Foods' tough moral decisions, importance of our historical society, Bishop Maher's money strings
Walt Osborne: “With this she’ll think, ‘This is great! I’m going to look sexy; I’m going to look forward. Nobody else has this.’ ”
Soaked In swimsuits
There's something incongruous about a national trend-setting taking place within the Elon building in downtown San Diego. It’s a faded hulk of a place built as a public works project during the Second World War. Before the move, Taliaferro’s father ran his operation out of another building at Eighth and Market.

Before there was Comic-con, there was Pacific Comics
The boys then joined the nascent San Diego Comic Book Club, which convened some of its meetings in the Schanes living room. Richard Alf, Richard Butner, Barry Alfonso, and Shel Dorf were some of the members. Dorf is now the lifetime president of the San Diego Comic Convention, considered one of the two most complete conventions in the country.

Kerry Damskey in the lab. "Nobody puts gamay on the table at a fancy dinner party."
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.”

Jo Ann Diehl's free hours soon became bound to the store, when she and her family moved into a small house on the back of the property.
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.

Rick Crawford, Gregg Hennessey. “When did San Diego finally connect with the East by rail?” “Eighteen eighty-three, of course,” replies Crawford.
This is the way it was
“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.”
The faith and the fortune
“He holds the power of life and death over us,” explains one local priest, “if you regard the difference between having the church in La Jolla or the one in Calexico as life or death.” The bishop is regarded by priests as much more than a boss; he’s the chief shepherd, the father, the policeman, and he’s bound to them by bonds of law as well as brotherhood.
