Captain Marvel: I am woman
Perhaps creepy was a bad selection. How I feel is that the "super hero" comic book regurgitation of characters over the past 10 years is getting old. How about some new and original material? I enjoy cinema that features stories that are not predictable and maybe even end in ways that one would not expect. I know from the first minute I take my seat that "good will prevail over evil." It's just how much CGI and Dolby woofer shock do I have to endure and was it worth the 2 hours of my time.— March 17, 2019 6:06 p.m.
Captain Marvel: I am woman
Just. Grow. Up. Millennials. This super hero infatuation is creepy, weird and boring.— March 8, 2019 6:10 p.m.
Kellen Winslow goes after 18-year-old after school, 77-year-old at Crunch Fitness
What a scumbag. Those fake eyeglasses and suit are not going to be enough to hide his disgusting perverted character.— March 8, 2019 6:08 p.m.

Zapf's Swampland aka Cate's Litter Box
Ya'll need to take a drive through Lemon Grove where just about every street looks like "Cate's Litter Box." Added bonus, you'll be comforted to know that potholes are not just a San Diego problem, they thrive in Lemon Grove.— March 5, 2019 8:37 a.m.
Linda Vista's Skate World, you're fine, now go away
In the 1980's lived in the Linda Vista area in a community called Fashion Hills off Ulric Street. The Vietnamese moved in and built businesses and the Von's became a Vien Dong. But Skateworld was a magical place where everyone, no matter of any classification, enjoyed skating around with each other. My mother skated there when she and her friend were in their 70's. Were else are active elders going to find a safe place to have fun? To me it's kind of irreplaceable, when it's gone, like all the drive-ins, miniature golf, bowling alleys, we lose another physical activity to sedentary hobbies.— March 3, 2019 9:13 p.m.
Clairemont still waits for Trader Joe's
I have to check out the Morena location to see the Costco self-checkout. When you think about it, self-check out may actually work for Costco better than its competitors. Because everyone that shops at Costco is a card-carrying member and have pre-agreed to have their cart inspected on exit. Stores where any random person can come in a "scan their stuff" don't have the loyalty and traceability of customers that a membership stores have.— March 2, 2019 9:05 a.m.
Clairemont still waits for Trader Joe's
Interesting. First, which Costco is deploying check-check-out? Secondly, Vons and Albertson’s have been employing self-check-out for years. And they have been in use in many North County locations for years. However, Walmart, Ralph’s, Albertson’s and Von’s in East and South county locations were pulled years ago due to “customer satisfaction issues.” AKA pilferage, shoplifting, label sapping and scanning-bypass activity. Ever wonder why Alberton’s and Von’s are so expensive? You are paying for their passive reaction to shoplifting. I was at a store where a man waked out the store door with a 24-pack of beer, the employees witnessed it and did not do anything. “Because of liability.”— February 25, 2019 10:17 p.m.

One more thing. Trader Joe's employees are the highest paid in grocery retail. They require a college degree (that goes back to Joe Coulombe) and many earn $58,000 a year and many have worked there for decades. Ever notice how fast you can check out at Trader Joe's? They keep the lanes and merchandise moving. Line forming? Ring the bell and add a new checkout lane. The cashiers at Von's and Albertson's would not have a chance at auditioning for a job at Trader Joe's. They are just to slow and union-like. When ever I have the displeasure of needing something at Vonbertson's, it takes me 5 minutes to find my stuff and 10 or more minutes to checkout. The opposite is true of Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's moves more people through their stores so the parking lot is always in a state of turnover.— February 24, 2019 10:13 a.m.
