Hillcrest homeless decision leads to cyber-bully incident
My understanding, from a couple of investigative stories is that John Theodore Wyckoff changed his name to Johnathan T. Hackett Jr. and then changed his surname to Hale because "he had a past that includes a felony conviction for burglary." Apparently Lorena Gonzales was one of the first to tweet the revelation.— July 26, 2016 8:28 p.m.

And contacting her employer "to ask questions about Gobar's position" is also unethical and hints of retaliation.— July 26, 2016 11:29 a.m.

Hotel plan surprises Imperial Beach locals
Typical developer bait and switch. They knew they were going to build a hotel all along. It's a game. All developers do it.— July 25, 2016 1:48 p.m.
Clairemont Coco’s out, Chick-fil-A in
I like Chick-Fil-A, In N Out and Hobby Lobby. They are good businesses that treat their employees well and have good work environments. Although I may disagree with the positions of their owners (or founders), that is their First Amendment right to free speech. And we should appreciate they are brave enough to state their positions. By boycotting or denying these businesses a place to trade, we would only hurt employees and customers.— July 24, 2016 7:43 p.m.
The story behind Kaypro – San Diego's early PCs
Too many Kay's and not enough pro's. 50% out-of-box failure rate also helped doom them. "He says when the bankers saw that he spent only $250,000 to $300,000 on the engineering for the first Kaypro they wrinkled their noses and thought there had to he something wrong with Kaypro’s computers." Answer: They didn't need to spend much money when they were copying (the circuit layout of) the Xerox 820.— July 24, 2016 5:26 p.m.
Clairemont Coco’s out, Chick-fil-A in
At one time, Coco's had a few locations with Reuben's Plankhouse (a bar and steakhouse) attached. They had one in La Mesa. I recall going to Coco's many times as a teenager and later in the 80's. I thought they had decent burgers. Their service became very slow and I think the number of ownership changes made things worse. Just like El Torito and Marie Callenders, their concepts became outdated. I few years back, someone who I worked with told me they also moonlighted at Coco's. I asked what the best selling thing was (besides pies) and she said it was steaks. She said for many people, it was the only place they could afford a steak dinner. Anyway, as dwbat said, the indy type places are far more popular these days. They bring fresh menus and concepts that would not work in large chains. For those that miss that Coco's there's an IHOP up the street. I'm not a fan of IHOP as I see them promote their breakfasts which look more like giant desserts.— July 24, 2016 4:32 p.m.
