It’s been a couple years since the new Mission Hills Library moved from it’s former location more in the heart of Mission Hills, to the neighorhood’s eastern edge a few blocks away…

Will Ride for Pizza

March 12, 2023 | Adventure

I’ve been wanting to try a full weekend adventure in the desert for a couple years. It’s a decent drive from San Diego to get to Anza Borrego

Idyllwild Weekend

October 17, 2022 | Adventure

It’s easy to question your choices when you’re shivering and slowly removing soaked articles of clothing while sitting alone in your car.

I keep seeing proposals for the San Diego Sports Arena District (like this one). Some of them are great. I would actually love to see some bigger thinking here as well. The I-8 west of I-5, which lies just north of the proposed Sports Arena District, is a fairly worthless stretch of freeway, travelling a couple of miles before transitioning into neighborhood arterials. It does help get people to the beach faster, which I guess is a good thing, but it's also some nice real estate right along the San Diego River that could be a pretty nice neighborhood. I occasionally ride my bike on the path between the freeway and river -- it's enjoyable, except for the freeway right there. What a wasted space.

Hey San Diego: Utilize Your Waterfront Better!

July 13, 2016 | The Built Environment

San Diego has some of the best weather in the entire US, and being right on the coast, and a downtown that is adjacent to water, it has tremendous assets that other cities just can’t match. It’s interesting that until recently, downtown San Diego has done a pretty incredible job of cutting itself off from […]

San Diego Urban Canyon Explorations

February 8, 2015 | Adventure

I love to get out and explore the more wild areas surrounding wherever I live, but I sometimes overlook the good stuff that’s really close to home. We decided this week to explore two canyons, both within walking distance of home. Maple Canyon On Saturday we did a four mile loop, making our way down […]
