La Jolla residents fight demolition of 1920's Tudor beach cottage
Excellent report. This picture shows a beautiful relic of the past, in good shape and with excellent stonework, shingles, and windows. It sits among a bunch of nondescript multiunit boxes, hinting at a quieter, less crowded San Diego-by-the-sea that no longer exists. Its charm adds more value to the neighborhood than anything that the owners could build in its place. It's amazing that the most nondescript houses in North Park, South Park, Talmadge, Kensington, Mission Hills, etc., are routinely given Mills Act tax exemptions, relying on the most obscure former owner's purported historic status or some element seen in most of the houses throughout the older neighborhoods, yet this beautiful old beach bungalow is dismissed as having no significance. It's a good time to recall the demolished Carnegie Library, a lovely building that was replaced in 1964 by the present old library downtown. San Diego lacks the ambiance and character of many California towns because of a determination to tear down its history. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/jun/1…— June 10, 2013 9:33 a.m.
A Lake Murray baby osprey’s bittersweet rescue
There is a live videocam of an osprey nest in Montana; the camera sometimes pans around to show the other osprey perched on a distant tree or pole. The sound is great, too! Watch and enjoy these beautiful birds: http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/27/Hellgate… http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/jun/0…— June 7, 2013 1:41 p.m.

A Lake Murray baby osprey’s bittersweet rescue
Thanks for this report. I can't imagine how anyone could feel that a bird in this situation should be left alone to die. Great story. At the Chula Vista Nature Center (1000 Gunpowder Point Drive) there are wonderful birds that have been similarly rescued. Various types of beautiful owls and hawks, all rescued and unable to live in nature w/o help, are thrilling and educational to observe in their nice, large cages out doors.— June 6, 2013 7:51 p.m.
Mixed martial politics
Senator Ricardo Lara is the Latino Caucus Chairman. Yesterday the offices of the California Latino Legislative Caucus were raided. The [Los Cerritos paper][1] has a pretty complete story. [1]: http://www.loscerritosnews.net/2013/06/04/sen-ron…— June 5, 2013 8:25 a.m.
Filner rips hotel moguls as secret 8 a.m. lawsuit session looms tomorrow
Unbelievable. As for Evans and his gang, whose hotels were filled to capacity over Memorial Day, in the Aviary Room of the Catamaran Hotel, may the Bird of Paradise fly up their noses.— May 31, 2013 1:33 p.m.
Grand Jury investigation transcripts for South Bay school districts released
Really. Spot on. Their expressions and body language in this captured moment are reminiscent of public servants I've watched during City Council hearings.— May 30, 2013 6:02 p.m.
Should San Diego dump its 30-year-old sign ordinance in portions of downtown to create an Arts and Entertainment District?
On May 22, local story reports that the [LuH committee put it on hold][1]: "Based on a memo from the City Attorney's Office, the idea has to overcome a high legal threshold,..." [1]: http://www.sandiego6.com/story/lack-of-specifics-…— May 30, 2013 10:42 a.m.
Falling for Humpty
How utterly ironic. Or maybe Bucheli was hand-delivering another Issa-issued subpoena. Still, having a pretty rich time on our dime, among the very crowd Issa despises.— May 30, 2013 8:18 a.m.
Construction allowed to begin...again on Centerpoint development near SDSU
How can Carmel Partners ensure that the 332 units will not have multiple students renting beds from the primary renter? Can the primary renter of the "luxury" apartment be limited to only *x* number of roommates? Who monitors and enforces this? I find the huge number of parking spaces (1091) that CP is creating a pretty good sign that more than the normal number of occupants/apartment is anticipated. Most developers try very hard to provide less parking than is required by code (in this case, 348 spaces would be required for 332 units).— May 25, 2013 9:40 a.m.
