tourism: Going Out Of Business: Your Community, Your Country - 12/20/16 07:07 AM
My Soap Box Maybe, Common Sense Definitely: Support Local Small Businesses!
It takes you to start the trend where you live.
 
 
There is a movement in this country that is positive, that is proactive and that is out to battle the growing National Debt and outsourcing of jobs. It's called buying local and supporting our small businesses. When you shop/buy local over big box stores, you are doing so much to help your local small businesses thrive and thus battling our national debt and bringing back America to a better state. Too dramatic? I think not and let's look at why...

De Anza Cove Mobile Home Park, which occupies 76 acres of the 120 total prime waterfront acreage situated on the North-East end of San Diego’s Mission Bay has gone from a bustling mobile home park, to ghost town while this year.

Have you ever heard the story of the tourist that went on vacation and never left? Have you ever fantasized about living in your favorite vacation spot? Well my friends, I’m living that dream the last 14 years! My bride and I vacationed here in San Diego & La Jolla, CA the summer of 2003 and were living here by Thanksgiving! We’ve lived in La Jolla, and San Diego’s University City & Sorrento Mesa; all make up University Towne Centre (UTC as the locals call it).

tourism: HOT Weather HOT Real Estate What's on FIRE in My Market - 07/31/16 02:56 AM
HOT Weather
Weather in San Diego is always sunny & 70 degrees, however, lately it's been sunny and in the 80's & 90's...it's hot!!! We get invaded every summer by "Zoners", "Zonies" and bad drivers: yep I said that. Many AZ folks spend their summers in San Diego to escape their 116 degree summer heat.
 
I have lived in San Diego for almost 13 years now and I can share that Jan-Feb is cold (if you consider 50's & 60's cold). March-June is a mixed bag of Sunny days, Rainy days and Grey Marine Layer days known as May Grey & June Gloom. … (3 comments)

tourism: San Diego's Pier Pressure - 06/27/16 01:02 PM
San Diego has something for everyone!
"Pier Pressure"
 
We have 5 perfect places to walk over the ocean surf, jog, saunter, fish, watch the surfers, people watch and even eat!
 
Although you can not walk on Scripps Pier or if you choose, (The Ellen- Browning Scripps Memorial Pier), it has got to be one of the most photographed piers in the world. So yes, walk under it at La Jolla Shores, but not on top unless you are with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography/ UCSD; making this pier one of world's biggest research piers! 
The Oceanside Pier, at 1,942 feet long, is the second-longest pier in San Diego County and one of the longest … (2 comments)

tourism: France Invades La Jolla, CA ( Ooh La La)! - 06/04/16 01:48 AM
 
La Jolla, CA recently was blessed with a new French Bistro:
Le Petite Bistrot located at 7863 Girard Ave.
 
 
I often break bread with my best clients who refer me a lot of good people like themselves. But I also love it when they refer me to a new restaurant or public house in their neighborhood. It seems, soon after I sell a client a home, they become a local expert in their neighborhood and love to see who knows more, their Realtor or "the local". (I love it).
 
It was the one year anniversary (to the day) of my clients Michael & Janet buying … (4 comments)

Dining Out: After 5pm, In La Jolla
 
Some of my Favorite La Jolla Village & Shores Restaurants to enjoy views, atmosphere drinks & dinner are:
 
Duke's: The newest edition to Prospect Street, the main drag in La Jolla Village, is Dukes La Jolla, a very trendy Hawaiian Fusion, muti-level restaurant with ocean views. I received advanced notice they were coming because I helped on of the managers find a rental property, as they were moving to La Jolla from Hawaii. Very trendy, upbeat atmosphere, great service on the slower side and the food was amazing…lots of fresh fish dishes to choose from. It's loud … (1 comments)
