Tijuana’s piece of Olympic dream likely over

Since San Diego can't even solve the parking problem in Balboa Park, or fix all the street potholes and bad sidewalks, how could it possibly think it could host the Olympics?

U-T reports circulation gains, some dips, but...

It would cause a little more pain maybe to use the U-T as emergency toilet paper. But again, it would be an appropriate usage.

U-T reports circulation gains, some dips, but...

Finally the U-T is selling the paper for its market value: a penny. They need to change the vending machines so they can accept a penny. An added bonus: it's sure cheaper than buying paper towels to clean windows!

El Paso from six feet under

Interesting story. My only time in El Paso was Army basic training at Ft. Bliss in the late '60s.

AT&T building still a “public nuisance” in North Park?

While downtown today I walked by the new Connections Housing building (the old run-down World Trade Center) at 6th and B. It made me wonder why the homeless person living at the AT&T building (by the back door) hasn't received a ride to Connections, where he could get temporary housing, food and medical care if needed.

Coco's Restaurant in North Park is kaput

Maybe the building will turn out to be a teardown, and something different (not an eatery) will go there. Time will tell. But empty properties like this are not beneficial for a neighborhood.

I know it wasn't Steve Martin the actor. That was humor!

"Papa Doug" backs a Bush with lunch at UT San Diego headquarters

I don't recall Irwin Jacobs saying that business conditions in CA have made it difficult for Qualcomm to prosper. An even richer billionaire, David Geffen, has no plans to move to TX. P.S. Friends don't let friends move to Texas!
