The treasures of Ocean Beach
OCEAN BEACH (OB)2006 Ocean Beach is just a drive by for commercial airlines and the San Diego police. Baghdad car patrol. The cops don't even stop to eat in OB. Coffee and donuts while steering and peering at the freaks. "Taxi driver" in black and whites.. No visual police street presents in OB, except, perhaps presents for that same group of “taxi drivers" constantly congregating outside two local stores laden with bottled beer and liquor for sale. Street present are the crusty winos. Cardboard mats, cardboard colored beer bags, cardboard colored clothing, cardboard colored hair, skin, sand and lovers. Fashion by ‘ beersun&wind’. Toothless mouths squirt saliva and alcoholic juiced slang when probing for spare change and romance. The OB library always has more people working behind the counter then public available 1hr computers.Two bus lines the #35 and 923 with brake happy chauffeurs tram the noisy sailors, reading students, silent workers, seniors with their bus pass hanging around their neck and smelly circus freaks in and out of town. The corner of Cable and Newport Ave looks like the greyhounded public transit center of OB. Peoples market is the spiritual center of OB. The juice there is a $1 cup of organic COFFEE made with filtered water, sweetened with amber avocado honey and chalky soymilk. The pier is the wild habitat center of OB. Pelicans perching on the railings for discarded fish heads, whales and dolphins for sightings and the surfers tubing through the pier’s concrete pilings for danger. There are more liquor stores owned by Arabs in Ocean Beach then African Americans. The lone New York Jewish woman rides her 1958 bike with big tires around town, the fenders rattle. The gentile women have trucks or SUVs, arms tattooed from wrist to shoulder, wear flip-flops, wool caps and totes big dogs on chains. If as you kneel and pet; the dog sniffs and likes you, well the gentile ladies pick out and buy themselves flowers at OB's farmer market every Wednesday. The gods blessed Ocean Beach with good air quality, a Mediterranean climate, a wicked riptide and no senior center. Ocean beach has one street (Newport Ave) with bars, big hamburgers, Mexican food and that street leads to the entrance to the wino’s hood: the beach, the fire pits, the pier, the public bathrooms and the cliffs. . and Ocean Beach has one street (Sunset Cliffs) with all its’ community active churches feeding the forgotten and that street leads one out of town. And Ocean Beach has one street (Voltaire) plastered with signs in the store windows that read: "We must cultivate our garden". Voltaire and that street leads to wino free doggie beach.— April 11, 2014 9:46 a.m.

Panhandler turf battle at freeway exit
In the Mission Hills restaurant row area our "homebum" arrives early for the Starbuck morning crowd. He gets out of the passenger side of a 'classic' Lincoln Continental. No shoes-dirty socks-along the pathway children take to the grade school— January 10, 2014 12:29 p.m.
New San Diego Central Library hosts first board meeting
"We the people paid over $100 million" The entire monetary expenditure for the new library was donations: ZIP from we the people. The biggest donator was Irvin Jacobs who was accused today of having Nathan FLETCHER as a ‘No Show’ employee. By the way in your tour of the new library how many ‘No show’ jobs funded by Irvin Jacobs did you see?— October 10, 2013 1:47 p.m.
Ask Greece about economic gains from Olympics
The proposed new stadium, by the bay, would be in walking distance of the Santa Fe Depot, Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Embassy suites, Hard Rock, Omni Hotel etc. This would translate into over 70% of the ‘Super Bowl’ or ‘Final Four’ crowd being able to walk to and from the stadium. The best way to enjoy San Diego is to be outside in the weather. The players could walk back to their hotel after the game or party in the Gas lamp district. Waiting for the MTS trolley to get home after a Chargers game is like waiting to cross the border back to USA from Tijuana. This years ‘Super Bowl’ is being held in a New Jersey stadium that 100% of the patrons (except for Jimmy Hoffa) will have to travel to and from the game in a heated vehicle.— October 9, 2013 12:20 p.m.

San Diego overlords and unions — who can stop them?
The new San Diego Public Library is the most labor intensive library in the country. A homage to the power of San Diego's organized labor. The labor cost are so high that the computers for the new San Diego library are the type one spots at a yard sale.— October 3, 2013 10:10 a.m.

San Diego's convention center expansion would build into a glut
"Building this ugly expansion would be an epic mistake. A wholly unwarranted investment into a declining market. San Diego is entering the 'Golden Age of Debt' It saves a billion dollars by not repairing its' roads, sidewalks or cleaning the trash from the sides of its' roads. Yet, this surplus is one reason San Diego is deemed a model city.— February 16, 2013 noon
