Growing, Peace Pie Piece…
JP’s surrounded. By yoga studios. “I love it,” he says. “And I think the locals love having us up here.” “Here” is Leucadia. JP’s vegan, raw, locovore kitchen has just opened in Encinitas (Peace Pies, ...

Just BSing

Happy Trails Nancy
I just laced 3 yellow roses through the wrought iron gates on the Daley Double, a community landmark in Old Encinitas. Nancy sold it several years ago. I know that. I don't care. it's a ...
