The problem with San Diego's historic neighborhoods
The Reader needs to remove their posters for the burger and beer fest 2 months ago before they get to comment on Golden Hill aesthetics.— November 15, 2018 8:16 a.m.
Historic Resources Board hot for Caliente sign
Speaking for myself, I have attended each of the theatres you list many times. As well as the California itself. Ironically, two of the theatres you mention have mounted productions at the California, perhaps they know something you don't. The lady from Davenports is one of five groups that have made market-rate offers on the building, she is just the most outspoken one. Why don't you let the pros that would actually be restoring the theatre with their own money or financing be the judge of what is restorable? Obviously, you have an even bigger conflict that you are not discussing. Nobody gets to be that much of an anti-preservationist without one.— June 28, 2016 12:43 p.m.
Boarding cash
He will get sick of going to the meetings after a while. Most people with no interest in historic preservation would. Does he know you are supposed to visit every site (maybe 6-8 a month that are discussed) and read a long report on each. It's hard to fake it if you haven't done that.— May 30, 2014 7:54 p.m.
City can’t drag its heels any longer
Anybody who is part of this settlement, I expect to see a few times a week with a sack picking up trash (like I did back to the 1980s in South Park), because they killed off a program that was keeping things cleaner than they are now. Some businesses also need to step up and start policing the trash in front of their business better (yes, Starbucks, I'm looking at you).— May 20, 2014 7:20 a.m.
Eleven opera board members demand information
The sale you refer to was at the San Francisco Opera (even though it may have been mentioned on our opera's website). The San Diego Opera has not had a costume sale in quite a while. Most operas are done with rentals of full shows, with alterations, repairs and sometimes the leads redone. The SD Opera owns some shows that they rent to other places and rents out others. A costume would have to be pretty shabby to get sold under those conditions: even a trashed one would serve as a model for a remake, and that might be the best that could be done to follow a design. The Opera has mounted shows done by designers that have been dead for decades. Costumes that can't be altered due to a huge size difference have to be made in the shop based on the one that was sent: perhaps some of the accessories fit. Normal theatres will restock garments by garment type and period, that's not the way opera usually works. SD Opera has even got some shows by having them be abandoned by the owner-opera. I heard of one set of costumes they got to keep because it was the third best version that the renting opera had and they didn't want it back (probably the Met). I wonder what the SF Opera was selling: they have been around for much longer, so it might be really ancient stuff, or operas that the staff agreed would never be done by anyone in the foreseeable future, or it was clothing items that were donated by patrons or their estates.— March 29, 2014 12:10 a.m.
Filner issues a Stop-Use Order against North Park Jack in the Box. Todd Gloria rescinds.
Yup, I got your Mayor: Bruce Coons. He was aware of this fake remodeling practice since Gloria was a teenager.— September 1, 2013 7:39 a.m.
Aguirre wants secure water supply, lower electric rates, infrastructure upgrade
Sometimes name recognition does not work in your favor. I like many of Mike's ideas, but this is not the time for an "angry" candidate, people are looking for someone more mellow than Filner. It's going to work against DeMaio and Mike. Fletcher has extreme name recognition but nobody can state his opinion on a single issue. He says he is a Democrat, but his Facebook posts remind me of Sarah Palin "I almost shot a moose at the Zoo today with my wonderful, beautiful and all-American kids, so proud to live here" sort of thing.— August 31, 2013 8:23 a.m.
Field of candidates for Mayor now at 16
I hope Todd Gloria does not sacrifice the city by trying to do three jobs at once and run a campaign. His job(s) description is already confusing enough.— August 31, 2013 7:26 a.m.
Filner issues a Stop-Use Order against North Park Jack in the Box. Todd Gloria rescinds.
Todd Gloria needs to man up and start working for his constituents, North Park being a strong part of it. His next campaign, no matter where it is, won't be unopposed like the last one. You can have all the corporate sponsors you want, but you still need votes. Meanwhile, I'm voting for Bruce Coons, who has been aware of this fake-remodeling scam ( and all the rest of the scams) for years.— August 30, 2013 4:55 p.m.
Irwin Jacobs Balboa Park tram operation proceeding full speed ahead
Monaghan: Coons is a Democrat, I don't know for how long, if not always, but considerably longer than Nathan Fletcher.— August 29, 2013 1:13 p.m.
