The Ghost Whisperer’s Visit to San Diego

Jennifer Love Hewitt has such an endearing presence. It would be a real challenge not to like her. In person, she seems more mature, more confident than I anticipated, but every bit as charming as any of the many roles I’ve seen her play. She came to Comic-Con to talk about the new season of her supernatural series Ghost Whisperer.
Hewitt’s […]

This Weekend in San Diego County (September 22-23)

Are you looking for some fun this weekend? Of course you can start with our local attractions (SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, LegoLand, Balboa Park, Old Town), but that’s not all that the county has to offer.

San Diego Supports Same Sex Marriage

Nearly 62,000 San Diegans are part of households led by a same-sex couple, according to a U.S. Census Bureau survey conducted two years ago (as reported by the San Diego Union Tribune).

Best travelogue: In the Heart of Calabria: Benvenuti a Badaloto! […]
