City emails show employees scrambling to justify North Park Jack in the Box permits
Go after Jack by public pressure on the whole corporation. A corporation selling to the public will respond faster than our City officials. Time to rally, it will be lots of fun. Possible sign: "JACK OFF my sidewalk". Now if we can just work in Carl "Hold" DeMayo, he must be involved somehow.— September 12, 2013 12:35 p.m.
City Attorney's Office responds to sexual harassment lawsuit on Filner's behalf
We have waited for a single shred of admissible evidence for this suit. It was run like a circus sideshow, where the next freak came forward before the first could be examined closely. Can they really depose Filner without signing their allegations?— September 12, 2013 12:08 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
I wonder how many conventions use Petco or Qualcomm now? Seems to me the proposed site would be no closer than Petco, and Petco isn't overbooked. Many events are scheduled in the Stadium Parking Lot now, including tailgating before every football game. Should the current Stadium be replaced by the proposed toxic waste cleanup pit and eventual over development, our local tradition of tailgating would likely disappear. On the positive side, children from bible thumping parts of the country, visiting for bowl games, could see their first prostitute and coke dealer, fair warning not to run away from home and crash on the beach here.— September 10, 2013 12:30 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
If an engineering survey would state that Qualcomm was unrepairable, I suspect the powers aiming the wrecking ball would commission that survey. Neglect of City property is a real scandal, and another reason not to waste money on new structures we couldn't keep in repair. The cost of maintaining the proposed whatever you call it, Stadiumcon, should be added to the cost. Along with the energy waste inherent in an enclosed stadium. The idea is just so stupid for the fans. I can't remember going to a football game here and complaining about the weather. For the scammers, the idea might be a bit too smart. Perhaps a cheaper proposal might be easier to sell. But the cheapest and best answer is fixing what we have.— September 9, 2013 5:20 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
I haven't been to Qualcomm in years, but it's a concrete structure, and should be basically permanent. I've read that they're neglecting cosmetics on purpose. We should consider the added cost of maintaining the wacky roofed stadium proposed.. Maintaining an elaborate steel structure near the water is inherently more difficult than the concrete stadium we have. If you ignore maintenance it will rust away. If we can't keep our present assets in repair, we shouldn't build more.— September 8, 2013 8:12 p.m.
Aguirre: "Put essentials first and wants second."
Read closely, Aguirre doesn't oppose construction spending, he wants better water, power, and streets. When asked about the proposed Stadium he should say he's for fixing our children's playgrounds before building one for adults.— September 8, 2013 12:34 p.m.
Aguirre: "Put essentials first and wants second."
Don't know who he supports, and I've asked. Any progressive candidate should call on him in person.— September 8, 2013 12:21 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
In my taxi driving days, the positive effect of visiting teams was evident. In cold winter months fans would follow the teams to a vacation. The college bowl games were best, occurring during the holidays, and were special events. I never heard a fan complain about the stadium though. The open stadium advertises our weather nationwide during the winter months. The proposed closed stadium would do the opposite, imply we would rather be indoors during our glorious winter weather.— September 8, 2013 12:11 p.m.
Qualcomm's Jacobs fishing for funds for Fletcher
Filner inspired hatred in some. After his apology, everyone assumed he earned it. But when Bronwyn Ingram appeared with Gloria Allred, effectively conspiring with IMG, I have to wonder if that crew is just insane. I mean IMJ must be the "other woman" in some sense, I'm not sure we'll ever know.— September 7, 2013 7:48 p.m.
Combined convention center/stadium? Or neither?
Strange that the City of Angels can endure without a pro football team. They lost two within a matter of months, and strangely, I don't remember any economic disaster.— September 7, 2013 6:18 p.m.
