Another foodie alert for Encinitas. When I am up for pizza, Domino's and similar places just don't cut it for me. I'm spoiled I guess. The Sammy's Woodfired Pizza chain is good, but for something local to South Carlsbad and for folks in Encinitas, head to the Tuscan Sun Italian Deli and Pizzeria.

I wasn't on AR most of yesterday due to attending the first day of the C.A.R. (California Association of REALTORS) in Long Beach, California. I always come away from these events with new learning, and many thoughts about what to implement in my business. Some I get to some I don't. And I always

If you are up for learning more about the Southern California area and things to do on a beautiful fall day...read on. If not, well you know where the delete key is by now. Fall is here in Carlsbad, and despite what those of you in colder climes think, we DO have a change of seasons. It is NOT al

A favorite pastime, besides dining and visiting art galleries, is haunting area antique shops. Sometimes it's to seek out something specific, but often it is just the fun of looking and perhaps finding a real treasure or a great gift. Ramona, California, has gotten quite a reputation as a hu

The word is out and it's good! Leucadia has a terrific new gallery, officially opening on October 17, 2008 (but you can grab a sneak peak here, or just stop by). The Andrews Gallery is already receiving quite a bit of attention, and it's not even officially open. I stopped by the other day to mee

San Diego has a number of beach communities north of downtown along the edge of the continent, each with its own feel, personality, and temperament. While they share the coast line, beach, and sunset views, they each have qualities that endear them to residents and visitors alike. Mission Beach i

Pacific Beach is a very cool beach town just south of trendy, affluent La Jolla and in the city of San Diego. I am getting to like this San Diego beach community more and more as I learn about it and spend time there (I have a 4-plex listing there so the side benefit is time in Pacific Beach, abo

A visit to Belmont Park in the south end of the funky beach town of Mission Beach in San Diego is like a step back in time. This beach front amusement park is a gem, with good parking and a location right off the main drag. They have a wooden roller coaster, for one - The Giant Dipper. Brings ba
