SDG&E works on Normal Heights power outage
The area around Meade and 33rd has been torn up for at least 3 months in various degrees. I bet the contractors are getting extra money for extending the project as long as possible but it is a huge pain to any who travels in the area. I'm personally tired of being detoured, but I feel sorry for the people who live in the immediate area. Is no one supervising this project?— January 21, 2013 5 p.m.
None
Stunning film. Not for everyone, but gorgeously filmed with some thoughtful speculations about the paintings and the people who created them. The ending is disturbing especially considering the recent events in Japan. The cave paintings are probably doomed, sad since they've managed to survive thousands of years. Even without the paintings, the caves themselves are beautiful. Definitely see it in 3D if you can...I don't think it would be quite the same in 2D.— May 20, 2011 1:49 p.m.
David Elliott’s Declaration of Pleasure
Welcome to the movie set, David Elliott, Matthew Lickona and John Rubio. I was fearful there would be no replacement for Duncan Shepherd (not that anyone is quite like him) but it sounds as if we could be looking forward to some familiar and new voices. Thanks to unemployment and limited funds, I admit I don't see as many films as I used to, but I do love reading about them. I wish you all well and look forward to your reviews.— November 18, 2010 6:21 a.m.
Mayor a No-Show at Second Community Forum
#8 The Mayor will always consider himself a hero. I used to work with him in the police department (at a much lower level, obviously). He has an excellent ego about himself, and has no doubt he knows more than everyone else. I doubt if anything can shake his confidence that only he could pull off the deal for Spanos and his pals....what he misses is that people with integrity and ethics wouldn't want to.— October 20, 2010 10:48 a.m.
Mayor a No-Show at Second Community Forum
Sanders is as proud as he can be of himself...he has no shame about his end run around the County Supervisors and City Council and the public. He got a pat on the head by the Governor, and he is no doubt been promised a lovely life after being mayor by his developer friends. Spanos gets a free stadium because you wouldn't want a millionaire use his own money to build the waste of space, and we have an underfunded main library to toss money into with an unwanted high school stuck in the center of it. All in all, Sanders had done a great job of building a legacy for himself...and you can bet he is breaking his arm patting himself on the back for his wheelings and dealings. I doubt if he is done. He didn't go to the public about the library, he doesn't need to go to the public about the stadium, so there's lots of building left to do that the public doesn't need input on (and I don't count these silly after the fact meetings where he patronizes people because he is, after all, the smartest guy in the room). Maybe we should rename the resulting city San Sanders.— October 20, 2010 8:05 a.m.
Nice to Meet
I've noticed many reviewers have decided to spoil "Moon" for viewers...I'm still intending to see it but I thought good reviewers tried to avoid ruining a film's surprises. I guess that's another courtesy that has gone away, but I can't think why.— June 21, 2009 9:13 a.m.
The Devil in the Details
I recently had lunch at Urban Solace (my first visit) and I realize lunch is often a different experience than dinner. It was a fairly busy Monday afternoon, but I found the waiter was attentive and obliging. I had a pulled chicken sandwich. The chicken was clearly fresh roasted and very tasty. The sweet potato fries were, indeed very good. I'm not a gourmet eater so I can't really comment on the food other than to say I felt happily satisfied at the end of my lunch. I just wanted to mention that the service I received was certainly above average and I had no complaints. Sometimes two women eating at a table are given poor service because they aren't considered likely to leave as good a tip as a group with men in it (that is the conclusion I draw after having been ignored at a number of restaurants) but I would not make this complaint about Urban Solace on the day I ate there. The waiter was polite, respectful, and extremely prompt at responding to my requests. Perhaps I was lucky enough to go after Naomi Wise made her complaints. I'll never know, but I would go back again...in fact, I am planning to.— February 21, 2008 5:53 p.m.
