Day Trip-Go See the Wildflowers You Won't Find in Downtown San Diego - 02/01/12 09:52 PM
I love living in Downtown San Diego. It's convenient, you can walk just about everywhere, you have access to the bay and lots of outdoor activities, great restaraunts, shops, farmer's markets...it's hard to leave our downtown bubble. Plus, more often than not, getting in the car is the LAST thing I want to do. This lifestyle makes driving (for me) a burden at times. But, I am not going to lie. There are times when escaping the East Village is the most appealing thing out there. Sometimes I just want a change of scenery and San Diego sure does offer a … (0 comments)

Downtown San Diego's Library Funding Secured - 02/01/12 09:49 PM

Have you heard the news?! The 32.5 million dollars that the library still needed has been funded. Isn't that amazing?! I could not be more excited since I live in the East Village just blocks away from this beauty. Downtown's Central Library has been boasted, criticized and questioned for awhile now so when I heard this interview on NPR with Mel Katz, Chair of the San Diego Library Foundation, a renewed sense of hope and anticipation came over me (and other Downtown San Diego residents, I'm sure).
Downtown San Diego's Central Library is scheduled to open in the summer of … (0 comments)

Car2Go - 02/01/12 09:46 PM
Walking through the East Village, I have noticed these tiny white and blue electric cars lining our streets. They are intriguing because they are everywhere-I've even seen people driving them all around Downtown San Diego too and couldn't help but be curious by their presence. I decided it was finally time to stop wondering and actually learn more about these little vehicles.
Car2Go is an effort, in collaboration with the City of San Diego, to be an integral part of the city's green mobility strategy. Car sharing equates to less emissions and traffic congestions on our busy, and ever growing, urban … (1 comments)

Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel Expansion - 02/01/12 09:44 PM

The Hilton Bayfront Hotel located right by the waterfront in the East Village/Ballpark District in Downtown San Diego is one of the largest hotels in the region if you count by room. A plan to extend the hotel that currently have 1,190 rooms with an additional 500 rooms will for sure make the Hilton climb up to #1.
The extension has only reached its early stages and a few things are to consider such as financing, entitlements and amendments to the hotels lease with the Port of San Diego. Should this project be down for ground breaking...it will at least … (0 comments)
