leucadia: The Surfing Madonna Surfs Again in Encinitas CA
- 07/11/12 02:35 PM
The Surfing Madonna Surfs Again in Encinitas CA
The Surfing Madonna has quite a history, and she became quite the news story, and not just locally.
The Surfing Madonna is a beautiful, colorful mosaic work of art (formally titled “Save the Ocean”) that burst upon the Encinitas CA scene over a year ago.
The Surfing Madonna rankled quite a few citizens, including the town council, while charming many others, and was later removed from her display spot along Encinitas Boulevard at the rail road bridge.
The Surfing Madonna’s whereabouts, and future, were unknown for a period … (13 comments)

leucadia: The Leucadia 101 Streetscape is Changing in Encinitas CA 92024
- 04/23/10 04:25 PM
The Leucadia 101 Streetscape is ChangingIt's true...literally. The Leucadia 101 streetscape, as they call it, IS changing.
So what DOES this mean?
Leucadia is a funky, eclectic beach town (the northern-most community in Encinitas, just south of Carlsbad) with a strong surfing history and feel.
Terrific beaches, a lack of glitzy retailers and boutiques, and an amazing array of housing from apartments to trailer parks to multimillion dollar beachfront homes combine to create an environment reminiscent of years ago but tiptoeing into the future. Folks like it that way.
Indeed, bumper stickers that shout "Keep Leucadia Funky" are commonplace.

leucadia: An Empty Building is a Sad Sight Sometimes - But The Andrews Gallery Lives on in San Diego
- 02/25/10 11:20 AM
The Andrews Gallery in Leucadia (Encinitas) recently moved to new digs downtown. It is sad to see the Gallery, and director/owner Drew Snyder, leave the area.
Andrews Gallery added so much to the artistic community in Encinitas and we will miss them. From their wonderful art exhibits, musician, and art openings, Andrews Gallery made a significant mark that will not be soon forgotten.
And it's sad to see the building standing empty once again.
But the move for Andrews Gallery is a very good one - they are now housed in the heart of Little Italy in San Diego, a … (9 comments)

leucadia: Encinitas Real Estate – A Video Tour of the Neptune Avenue Neighborhood on the Ocean
- 12/27/09 02:56 PM
Buyers in the Encinitas real estate market seeking oceanfront homes and a substantial budget will undoubtedly explore the Neptune Avenue neighborhood.
Neptune Avenue runs along the bluff fronting the ocean, from just north of Moonlight Beach to Grandview Beach at the northern end of Leucadia. Given the location and ocean views (on the west side of the street), prices are a premium, although they have declined quite a bit in the last 4 years.
But compared to Del Mar and La Jolla oceanfront, Encinitas waterfront properties are a bargain.
There are 3 major public beach accesses down significant stairs due to … (1 comments)

A Video Tour on the Historic Coast Highway 101 Through Leucadia (Encinitas) California
Leucadia is a funky, laid-back beach town just south of Carlsbad on the North San Diego County coast, and one of my favorite communities.
Leucadia has a long surfing history, and as a seaside community retains much of the feel from days gone by - which most people like about the community.
This town is part of Encinitas but with a different feel and look. You won't find high end shopping here, nor 5 star dining (but check out Le Papagayo and Auggie's House of Crab for … (6 comments)

leucadia: Leucadia Galleries – The Andrews Gallery in Encinitas California - July Show 2009
- 07/30/09 12:44 PM
We attended the opening of the newest show at my favorite of the Leucadia Galleries, The Andrews Gallery in Encinitas California, Saturday July 18 with some friends.
In addition to a lively and diverse crowd, always the case at one of director Drew Snyder's openings, Andrews Gallery festivities included a talented jazz trio, In Motion, all the more impressive because of their young age (someone mentioned one of the members is only 16, but I don't know if that is fact or rumor).
I had a wonderful conversation with Susan Snyder, a well established artist in her own right (and Drew's … (7 comments)

leucadia: Encinitas Restaurant Le Papagayo Delights us Again - Great Food in Leucadia California
- 07/19/09 07:54 AM
Encinitas restaurant Le Papagayo remains at the top of our list of favorite places to dine along the coast. The atmosphere is always friendly, lively and comfortable and a reminder of dining in the islands - a-come-in-your-shorts-and-flip-flops type of place, and the food is varied and presented well. Yes, the trains roar by on the other side of the Coast Road now and then, but for a casual, fun place with great prices, a respectable wine list, and a colorful interior (lots of original artwork), Le Papagayo is well worth a visit.

leucadia: A Buck and Vegetable Oil Will Get You to the Beach
- 06/24/09 02:38 PM
It's cheap.
It's environmentally friendly.
And it runs on bio fuel converted from used vegetable oil.
And it can help with our traffic congestion on busy weekends.
It's the new Beach Shuttle running through Leucadia, Downtown Encinitas and into Cardff-by-the-Sea along the coast road/Route 101. And it will only cost you $1 (one-way), or $5 for a weekend pass.

leucadia: The California Surf Museum in Oceanside, California
- 03/26/09 12:04 PM
When one thinks of Southern California one likely thinks of beaches and, of course, surfing.
Surfing in Southern California has played a significant role in the development of the sport, and of the growth in many coastal towns.
It is, indeed, for many a lifestyle, with a culture and even a language all its own. Consider how surfing spawned movies (remember Gidget?) and songs (hey, where would be Beach Boys be without surfing?).
It is likely a rare beach along the coast that does not appeal to surfers for different reasons, and some areas have become downright famous...such as Swami's Beach … (11 comments)

leucadia: The Andrews Gallery in Leucadia - The Latest Show (February 2009)
- 02/22/09 02:39 PM
I am a big fan of art, as folks who know me can attest. AND a big fan of The Andrews Gallery in Leucadia, the newest, and brightest, addition to the art scene in North San Diego County. My opinion. But I think others agree. And it's right next to Carlsbad.
The Andrews Gallery opened, with quite a bit of fanfare, last October 2008 (here's my post from the opening reception).
Drew Snyder, curator, owner, and artist, continues to bring excitement and vision to the art community in North County, and the latest show (I missed the opening reception, being out of … (7 comments)

leucadia: Environmental Artist Kirkos Draws a Crowd to Stone Steps Beach in Encinitas
- 01/01/09 11:55 AM
Environmental and internationally-known artist Kirkos (Kirk Van Allyn, a long-time Leucadia resident) is known for his elaborate designs in the sand along the Encinitas/Leucadia coastline, usually at Stone Steps Beach.
Today's event was especially interesting - a meditation labyrinth at the base of Stone Steps beach drew a large crowd on a misty, foggy, cool wintry New Year's Day. There was an article on-line announcing the creation in process encouraging folks to stops by and bring environmentally sensitive/biodegradable objects (e.g., flowers) to add to the maze. Visitors also brought candles (hard to see in the photos) that will be removed … (12 comments)
