San Diego city council surrenders in costly Catholic school case
Ha -- it's not developers. This area was developed in the 1920s! It's the city who decided to place it into the Greater North Park planning zone. Nothing sinister about it. :)— February 18, 2013 7:39 p.m.
San Diego city council surrenders in costly Catholic school case
Yes, our deeds say University Heights but the City decides what the neighborhood boundaries are and then PD, Fire, media, etc., use those maps. So while including that area as part of North Park might not be historically correct, we don't get to decide what to call our own neighborhoods -- the City does. There is a sign on the Adams Avenue bridge as you cross over the 805 that says welcome to North Park too -- it's really not as ambiguous as people make it out to be. I mean, if you want to call it UH or NH or whatever, be my guest! We like to call it BeHi (Between the Heights).— February 18, 2013 7:38 p.m.
San Diego city council surrenders in costly Catholic school case
Yes, the map shows that it is not in Normal Heights -- the school is west of the 805, which is North Park. It doesn't matter what OLP's website says -- it's wrong.— February 18, 2013 12:05 p.m.
San Diego city council surrenders in costly Catholic school case
Matt, OLP is in North Park not Normal Heights. Bob, I'm not sure what "ignorance and bigotry" you are referring to -- everything the other commenters said is accurate. While there are a handful of girls at the school who receive financial aid due to need, the vast majority are from well-to-do homes (just witness the parade of upscale cars every day to and from the school). As a neighbor, and I know this is true of most of the neighborhood, I fully support the school's mission and quality education. But this travesty of law is not only bad for the neighborhood, it's a misuse of RLUPA. The settlement shows how inept our City Attorney's office is, for which I was a firsthand witness when called down to meet with them only to find -- just a few weeks before trial -- that they were completely unprepared, befuddled and, frankly, uninspired. At the last minute the witness list was inexplicably reduced to 2 neighbors, so of course this jury did not hear the full story. San Diego taxpayers should be outraged as this extraordinarily poor use of our money.— February 18, 2013 8:51 a.m.
Provisions, Soda & Swine coming to Normal Heights
Yes, it is, weese07, but it's also "about" being accurate if you want people to respect your work in the media.— September 12, 2012 8:41 p.m.
Provisions, Soda & Swine coming to Normal Heights
RE: "For what it's worth, many of the Adams Avenue Business Association members refer to this section of Adams Avenue as Normal Heights also." So what? They're wrong. This isn't a case of "opinion" but fact. I wish people, especially the BID for god's sake, would quit perpetuating this inaccuracy.— September 11, 2012 11:17 p.m.
Provisions, Soda & Swine coming to Normal Heights
Well, the business owners are wrong -- again, this isn't about what people "feel" it's about getting the facts right. That area is North Park and should be changed in your story based on the facts I shared with you and the city map as shown at the link above.— September 11, 2012 11:15 p.m.
Provisions, Soda & Swine coming to Normal Heights
30th and Adams is North Park, not Normal Heights. You guys continue to get this wrong in articles. Although that address is 92116, which is a ZIP code shared by Normal Heights and Kensington, the Adams Avenue bridge over the 805 draws the line between Normal Heights and North Park. That is why you see a "Welcome to Normal Heights" sign (and vice versa) as you cross the bridge. North Park is bordered on the north by the canyon over the I-8, on the east by the 805, and on the west by Texas Street. This isn't about what people "feel" are the neighborhood boundaries, it's what the city and media use and therefore what is correct.— September 11, 2012 1:23 p.m.
Normal Heights the New Gaslamp?
No, it isn't. University Heights ends at Texas Street to the east. The ZIP code doesn't matter -- it's what the city maps say. North Park goes north all the way to the 8 and east to the 805. You can see the maps on the city's website.— August 16, 2012 4:19 p.m.
Kadan Closes But the Beat Goes On
Not Normal Heights! Kadan is in North Park. Normal Heights ends at the 805 bridge.— August 16, 2012 10:49 a.m.
