Manchester's Pacific Gateway featured in pitch selling visas to the rich
IMO it looks like a bad 1940's design--dense, thick and squat. Just the thing to block off more of the waterfront. Uglification of San Diego continues apace.— May 10, 2017 11:23 a.m.
Susan Luzzaro
Susan had the unique ability to put into words the very deeds that were undermining our community. Through her constant vigilance and integrity, things changed. We know the battle isn't over for all of us, but she taught us how to fight--with decency, with accuracy, with keen observational skills, and with her words. Quietly effective, outstanding as a writer and unsurpassed as a community voice. I hope her unfinished work can be somehow put together so that we can have that much more from her.— May 10, 2017 6:43 a.m.
Old Skin
A marvelous journey that Susan has taken us on. I am so very grateful for her writing, her insight, her strength, her wisdom and her honesty. This larger community has benefitted enormously from her gifts, and I hope she will be long-remembered. Who will speak for us?— May 9, 2017 1:52 p.m.
Leonard Cohen gets darker
I don't suppose anyone has heard anything about a concert tour?— November 4, 2016 3:58 p.m.
Lilac Hills opponents mum on money source
Guess what? *Even* people in Chula Vista can recognize when development is not a good idea! I think what bothers everyone is the proposed scale of the development--and the attempt to manipulate the system.— November 4, 2016 3:57 p.m.
Sweetwater school district resolves boundary issue
It would have been a good idea to have instituted some official policies regarding changing the "institutional culture" within Sweetwater when Ed Brand left for the second time. I think there needs to be some retraining of administration, so that policies are ethical, make sense, and follow the law. We have wanted to get the Mello-Roos funds straightened out for quite some time. There still needs to be a forensic audit--because while it was claimed that there was an effort to straighten things out, I haven't heard anything more about it. Decades of fiscal abuse and no one is responsible? I know there are many good people at work in Sweetwater, so there is really NO EXCUSE for the wrong-headed decision-making that still takes place. Who in their right mind would think that people who have been paying hundreds of dollars per year (some more than that) would think it would be ok to send their children to schools that were not the ones they had paid for? And Visduh, you raise some excellent points. About those previous bond issues: the Bond Oversight Committee has worked very hard to find out how and where the money is being spent, and they are still not getting 100% cooperation. Why is that? Lots of change orders, I have heard. Just who is in charge? Which is why I say, vote no on any bond issues for education until there are measures in place to track where every dime goes. The public should be able to see a monthly tally of Mello-Roos funds, and all bond funds collected and used. This should not be a big mystery. Who is benefitting? Bonita Vista High School had rats in the gymnasium a couple of years ago, so I was told. The decision-making on how the construction funds are spent just does not look like it has been done in the best manner for the school district and the students. We need to find out where the money went before we are going to pony up one more time. So yes, 99% of the kids who want to go to the schools their parents paid for will get to go to them. Not good enough. This is shameful.— October 29, 2016 6:01 p.m.
County sued over jail suicide
I believe the ACLU did have something to do with it, because they argued that if an individual chose to be homeless, that was their right. There were a few lawsuits about that, but that's about all I remember.— August 14, 2016 9:44 a.m.
San Diego Metro Pigeon Club taught me so much
Poignant read from a matchless voice.— August 6, 2016 10:38 a.m.
Chaos of fragments
Quite by accident I sat on the left side, so have no complaints about the sound. It is a very complex work, and makes me marvel again over what Sondheim has accomplished. Transporting.— July 8, 2016 10:50 p.m.
Protesters warm up to tear down Cabrillo Bridge plan
And then there is the Ace parking angle. Just a bit more for them to manage. No, thanks!— July 3, 2016 11:07 a.m.
