Kindergarten teacher charged with bank, wire fraud
Just looking at older articles I've missed - this Cristina Montijo shows up as a teacher currently at Lafayette Elementary. (Oddly, the name also shows up as a teacher at Dewey's website as well.)— April 28, 2017 7:45 p.m.
Overwhelming Majority of Lifeguards Want to Leave MEA, Join Teamsters
Quite understandable, Mr. Bauder. I would never offer up a recommendation unless it came from reliable, 1st person close-friend sources.— April 6, 2009 11:12 a.m.
Overwhelming Majority of Lifeguards Want to Leave MEA, Join Teamsters
Like catlade, above, I too have been flummoxed by the ridiculous prices charged for dental services in this town, despite my having insurance as well. It amazes me that I can walk into Kaiser and have major surgery and 2 days bed rest in their hospital for a (then) $5.00 co-pay, yet I'd better make sure I have plenty of cash on hand for a tooth-cleaning visit to the dentist as they eat up the alloted yearly insurance in no time. You may be interested to know of the services provided in our neighbor to the South. I have close friends who have gone into Mexico for dental work as well as vanity surgeries, and have reported top-notch results for rock-bottom prices. I don't know if I'm allowed to put an email address for me in this venue, but if you want me to put you in touch with some satisfied customers, give a shout to [email protected], and I'll get back to you.— April 5, 2009 9:15 a.m.

Recession Hitting San Diego's Superrich; Some Socialites Wearing the Same Gown Twice; Jewel Ball Doesn't Sell Out
I've often commented to friends and co-workers, when the topic of the ever widening rift of the poor and rich and general overall corruption comes up, "You know the plethora of films that have come out about the end of society, Zombies, and the super-rich living in gated communities being smashed to bits? That's not entertainment, folks - they're training films." Always guaranteed for nervous laughter followed by a shudder and a hasty topic-change. Although the second half of one of my favorite films "They Live," by John Carpenter, falls into ludicrousness, the first half is downright horrific as our "hero" stumbles upon a mysterious discarded box of sunglasses that, when worn, reveals subliminal messages behind billboards and television ads imploring citizens to "consume," "breed," and "obey." Brilliant commentary. An even more biting commentary on the direction our society is turning is the sometimes funny, more often not, satirical film by Mike Judge "Idiocracy." An average guy volunteers to be the subject of a hibernation experiment that goes awry and wakes up 500 years in the future, discovering that he's the smartest person on the planet. There are a few scenes that are absolutely amazing, and will either make you laugh or cry at the exaggeration of what we see and read on a daily basis today.— August 9, 2008 noon

My hardcover copy arrived - I tend to prefer hardcover books if I can get them. It's in very good condition! : )— August 9, 2008 11:14 a.m.

Wow, thanks to that link by Fred Williams, I found a hardcover copy of Captain Money, one of my favorite local scandals. 18 bucks and worth every penny! Mr. Bauder, if I treat you to lunch one day, can I have you autograph it? : ) I still treasure my copy of the August 8, 1996 Reader cover story, "San Diego, City of Shame." It just keeps going, and going, and going...— August 7, 2008 12:10 p.m.

Thanks, all, for the extra detective work and clarifications. I love the details about my home town. Burwell, you are correct about other residences in Mission Hills exceeding the real estate of the Guymon place, as I've been to some for fundraisers and they're amazing. But for sheer ostentatiousness that is seen by thousands daily due to its prominent "main drag" location, the Guymon home can't be beat. It has nothing to do with this discussion, but across from the Guymon place and just a few houses West there is a home on the corner that puts on an amazing display during the Holiday season. Come December, look for a little sign on the sidewalk lawn on the right going West - it says to tune your car radio to a certain FM frequency, where you'll hear the music being broadcast from the home in sync with a fantastic light display on the house and surrounding trees. Such a treat to just park there at night and watch - even saw people drive up in a van, get out, open the doors, turn up the radio and dance on the sidewalk. Speaking of old banks, I used to work for San Diego Federal for many years - those were good time. But now I'm way off topic. Keep up the great work, Mr. Bauder. I've silently haunted your site here for many months, but only now just put my 2 cents in. Respectfully, and with gratitude, Scott— August 7, 2008 10:13 a.m.
Wealthy Local Citizens Discuss Buying U-T, Combining It with KUSI-TV, Possibly Having 24-Hour News Program
Perhaps this will give the much-maligned Rod Luck a new lease on life. Column, anyone? I have a love-hate relationship with KUSI - it seems at times quaintly ameteurish, yet has real cred for its famed weatherman and troubleshooter Turko. But it does have a real, "local" look and feel to it, and it might make a good marriage - Lord knows the UT has needed a shift in reality for many years. If this happens, I'll toss my hat in the ring to be the live-in caretaker of Foxhill as I assume David would just as soon travel on Happy Days until the money runs out, if ever.— August 6, 2008 10:11 a.m.

That was known as the Guyman Estate also known by the lesser-known moniker Guyman/Casady House. The Sefton home is actually on 6th and Laurel. The Guyman Estate remains the most commanding home in Mission Hills despite some of the "McMansion"'ing that has recently crept in there. Rumor has it that it housed radio communication for a time during WWI and/or WWII for governmental (Naval?) use. I'm in the 92103 area code myself, albeit in University Heights. I had lots of friend in Mission Hills growing up, and it remains my favorite neighborhood in San Diego.— August 6, 2008 9:57 a.m.
