The San Diego Traveler

First it was Bullwinkle’s, then Family Fun Center, and now it’s Boomer’s.  By whatever name, Boomer’s is the place your kids will beg to visit, and cry about leaving.
There are three Boomer’s in San Diego county – El Cajon, San Diego and Vista, and several more throughout California, two in Florida, and one in New York. 
Today, I took my little one to a birthday party at Boomer’s, Vista - for the second time in three months.  Believe me, she’s not complaining.  If you don’t have kids, you’ve probably never been to Boomer’s.  The pizza and birthday cake are certainly not enough to get you there.  (Let’s just …read more

San Diego has an interesting relationship with celebrity.  Although  we live in California and have been the site for over 500 movies and television programs (e.g. Top Gun, Some Like it Hot, Citizen Kane, The Sands of Iwo Jima, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Traffic, Almost Famous, etc.), we’re not exactly mainstream Hollywood.

There’s just nothing more romantic than the ocean, and San Diegans are fortunate to have over seventy miles of coastline to enjoy every day of the year.  Whether you’re watching the waves crash, or floating along in a gently rocking boat; day or night, the ocean is San Diego’s single most romantic venue, and there are nearly endless ways to enjoy it for couples in love.

Last night the women of UCSD Basketball triumphed 66-55 over Humboldt State at RIMAC Arena.  This was the eighth straight Tritons win, for an 18-3 season.  They are now tied for #1 in CCAA Standings, alongside Cal State Bakersfield.  Although impressive, this is not the reason for this valentine.

This is the burning question that SDSU students are asking.  When 21-year-old Joshua Gandy was told to get off his skateboard yesterday, he got a little mouthy with the campus officer.  Or did he? 
If you saw his interview on the news today, you know that Joshua’s speech is rambling and his language is absolutely peppered with expletives.  And I quote:

I dropped by the Westfield Plaza Camino Real on Tuesday afternoon to pick up a Museum Brochure from Macy’s.  No sooner did I open the door than I walked right smack into the bikini section.  In February?  Really?  Only in California! 
What’s new?
There are music videos now showing on monitors throughout Macy’s, and shoppers are stopping in their tracks to watch the more captivating ones.  It’s a little strange, and a bit eerie in a nearly unoccupied store.
