Strawberry Fields Ripe for the Picking

If you haven’t visited Carlsbad’s strawberry fields recently, you’d better hurry.  U-Pick Strawberries, at Cannon Road along the I-5, has been open to the public since mid-April this year, but they will close by the end of July to begin next year’s crop.

Eating at the House of Blues, San Diego

The San Diego House of Blues (or HOB) is a restaurant, a bar, a nightclub, and a gift shop, all rolled into one. It’s on 5th Avenue, on the edge of the Gaslamp,  but not the prettiest part. From the outside, it looks more like a movie theatre than anything else, but as soon as you enter [...]
