Oceanside Blade press runs again
The history of small newspapers is that they were started by people with a bone to pick...about something or someone, so the political headlines on the front pages are natural: freedom of the press belongs to those who own one. It is weird to see my city's news in print (or anywhere else for that matter). When the North County Times was dissolved by Manchester we lost not only local news coverage, but also a viable local advertising medium (and it worked, I know because I advertised in it). So good luck Ken & Co. By the way, the publisher is not the only one with a long history of reporting on Oceanside: About 45 years ago Ken Leighton would stop by my KUDE Radio Top 40 show and report on school news.— September 16, 2016 9:33 p.m.
What's going on at San Diego Global Vision Academies?
What's the math on this: 1.7 percent of the kids left? Not exactly a palace coup. The charter school industry seems to best exemplify the saying, "Academic politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low." Oh wait, I forgot...it's "about the children" isn't it and probably has nothing to do with helicopter moms or schools being run as family businesses board infighting, right?— September 15, 2016 5:45 p.m.
Former SEAL sues for police brutality
The usual punishment for that sort of thing is paid leave.— September 12, 2016 3:44 p.m.
Binational railroad continues up steep grade
This is a railroad operated with loco motives.— August 30, 2016 8:42 p.m.
San Diego High land-lease ballot measure discredited
This week's hyperbole award goes to: "This measure will create a land rush by every for-profit, charter and private school asking for their 'free land' in Balboa Park," reads the 300-word opposition letter. "Commercial development could follow. This measure gives away 34 acres of priceless dedicated park lands perhaps permanently. [It] forces San Diego residents, park users and taxpayers to bail out the wealthy [school] district, reward a lease breach, and deny another two generations use of dedicated park lands."— August 26, 2016 8:47 a.m.
Encinitas Kentucky Fried Chicken flies the coop
I live close to that center and had wondered if there'd be some additional fallout once Ralph's left. The center has a freestanding building that looks like it was built to be a bank branch and has apparently never been occupied (certainly not in the six years I've lived in that neighborhood). There must be some kind of great tax break for landlords with empty space because you hear so many stories about how rent increases forced a business to move or close and then you see the space sit empty for years.— August 22, 2016 8:10 a.m.
Metropolitan Transit System's been working on the railroad...
The world has lived without that line this long: it's time to let it go. No serious money is ever going to back that venture. I suspect those who've been involved thus far hope to make their money manipulating stock, not running a railroad.— June 23, 2016 9:03 p.m.
Cheap rents fleeting in Imperial Beach
Well IB does have the "Tia Juana River" flowing through it.— June 21, 2016 8:18 a.m.
Sheriff tripping
God this class warfare gets old: this kind of jealousy every time a public employee goes on a business trip serves what purpose?— June 16, 2016 8:23 a.m.
Slater's wave to break at Seaport Village?
What a shame: one of the only family-friendly venues along the bay will become yet another expensive, view-blocking, haunt for out-of-towners on expense accounts. Between this and Anthony's, average San Diegans are getting screwed by the Port District, which, by law, is supposed to considering many factors before making decisions on the use of tidelands. But, they've started acting like a private, corporate board of directors driven only by money.— June 14, 2016 7:07 p.m.
