Waste Spending?
 
 

I’m not sure if this is fair because I haven’t seen it, but does the thought of spending $600,000 on a public restroom seem a bit much? I guess not if it’s a public restroom in La Jolla. You can see some photos of the Jewel’s Throne Room here.

Bag Check
 
 

First there was the case of the robber in Kensington who snatched a bag full of dog poop away from a woman who was walking her dog. Now, there’s news of another attempted bag snatching. This time, the bag was full of dog and the assailant underestimated his victim, a 73-year-old woman:

By Any Other Name…
 
 

I mentioned last week that 10News.com would be starting up a blog covering the mayoral race. Well, they sorta launched it yesterday. I say sorta because I’m not sure this qualifies as a blog. It would seem more likely to fall under the category of weekly feature.
Seriously, if you want […]

Caffeinated San Diego
 
 

A year or so ago, developers decided to tear down the taco stand at the corner of 28th & B in Golden Hill. In its place, they built a nice faux-adobe building which has stood empty for the last few months, a For Lease sign in the window. More than once, my wife […]

We Blog, You Decide
 
 

Did anyone catch last night’s mayoral race on KUSI? I have to admit that I saw only a few minutes of it thanks to a certain basketball game and the fact that I couldn’t stay awake long enough to make it through the questions about pension plan reform. However, I did come away […]
