Black hole development in Little Italy

Shy of the bull's eye
Besides the points Blue South Park makes, I think people should also be aware of who is trying to manipulate them into opposing Target. Look at outcomes in other neighborhoods. The small businesses on Market Street were opposed to the 99 cent store because it would supposedly drive them out of business. Nothing could be further from the truth, in fact, more people are shopping at the little stores next to the 99, including myself, that would never bother to make the trip before, now it's like a "since we're here, let's walk over to that bakery" sort of thing. The 99 has been a great addition to the community, a community that needed that store. Same thing with the mini-WalMart on Imperial Avenue. Everyone brought forward the same concerns about traffic and changing the community. Well the community hasn't changed. The businesses nearby are busier, and the area more vibrant, than it ever was with the dark and dirty Albazar there. I never went near that place. But I shopped quite often at the WalMart there. The traffic hasn't gotten terrible. It's a nice place to shop. It has become a vital resource for the people of the community. Not everybody wants to go to "indie hipster" little stores where the prices are absurd and the brands are unknown. Not everybody wants to shop in little liquor stores where the products are expired and the bananas are rotten. A lot of people want to shop in a clean safe environment and get an expected product for a reasonable price. If people feel that's somehow morally wrong, then spare your conscience and don't shop there. [BTW, to get back to my earlier point, Barrio Logan was supposed to get a Target, instead they got a Northgate. They didn't need a Northgate, they needed a Target. Instead they got a WalMart. Be aware of who's manipulating you, and be careful what you wish for.]— November 14, 2014 12:44 p.m.

Bitter split at San Diego Opera
The last time a Beatle played in San Diego, and the only time a Beatle ever played a private party. Paul only agreed because the guy offered to give the million to Paul's favorite charity.— September 2, 2014 9:12 a.m.
NY Times pooh-poohs Comic-Con spending
Nothing in life is guaranteed. But I don't think there's any incentive for them to leave San Diego. The people who run it are longtime locals, they couldn't do what they do here anywhere else, and they don't want to. I don't see them leaving, I think they are here to stay. Comic-Con is easily one of the most prestigious conventions in the world, I know every forum I'm on talks about it, everybody wants to attend, the only reason more people don't come is they can't get tickets. So maybe a bigger venue would accommodate more people as well.— July 28, 2014 4:27 p.m.
San Diego recovers poorly
That's not what Paul Krugman said in his column a day or two ago, he said that California is doing really well.— July 28, 2014 4:09 p.m.
NY Times pooh-poohs Comic-Con spending
I'd vote to expand it. For one thing, it will keep the stadium out of there, a much much worse thing to happen. For another, when you are talking about empty venues, you are comparing apples to oranges. San Diego is losing business to the megavenues that it could easily draw here if it were bigger. And third, Comic-Con. Because Comic-Con.— July 28, 2014 1:15 p.m.

Peaceful bees forcibly removed from Ocean Beach
These weren't Africanized bees, these were peaceful bees. I'm sorry more of an effort wasn't made to remove them alive. http://www.sandiegobeekeepingsociety.com/— July 4, 2014 11:51 a.m.
“Sustainability program manager” would cost $200,000
So it all comes down to sticking $200K in the budget to hire one of Kev's cronies to do nothing about climate change. Nice work if you can get it.— May 23, 2014 11:31 a.m.
